Hello,

The WAPT solution addresses many issues within my company. Therefore, I decided to perform a proof of concept (POC) on a set of machines, testing the tool for a few months on all user workstations before potentially upgrading to an Enterprise version.

Here is my installation setup:
- WAPT Server: RHEL 7.6, 2 vCPUs, 4GB RAM
- WAPT administration console on a user workstation for initial testing.

For the WAPT server installation, I followed the 2.2 documentation. -> https://www.wapt.fr/fr/doc/wapt-server- ... based.html
For the WAPT console installation, I also followed the 2.2 documentation. I retrieved the waptsetup-tis.exe package from my WAPT server -> https://www.wapt.fr/fr/doc/wapt-configuration.html
For the WAPT console configuration (first run as administrator), I generated a new key pair.

The problems are:
- I get the following error message when I try to generate a WAPT agent: "Error creating waptagent.exe: Error loading WAPT agent to repository:"
- I cannot resign the packages already present in the private repository: "EWaptbadSignature: Check_package_signature failed for test-chrome..."

Also, I thought the problem was with the certificate I generated for the WAPT console user. So I generated others to try to resolve the issue, but it's still not working. Finally, I haven't found anything very helpful in the server logs.

Thank you in advance for your valuable help.

Have a great day.

Small update:
I can no longer import packages from the WAPT repository either. I get the following error message: THttpClientSocket.WGet:st...:443/package_name hash failure :(

Hello ng3,

thank you for the feedback. The message is indeed not very user-friendly... We'll look into fixing that.

Are you using a proxy or do you have direct internet access? Did you experience a packet drop or rejection at that time?

Regards,

Denis

Hello,

Yes, I was indeed using a proxy. Unfortunately, I don't have any details about the DROP/REJECT.

Thank you.

Best regards.
