Good morning,
I just installed WAPT in my infrastructure and I can't launch any tasks; the console is stuck on this error:

Code: Select all

Error on client: EWaptCertificateUntrustedIssuer('Issuer CA certificate CN=private,C=FR can not be found in supplied bundle')
On the server side, I haven't modified the certificate configuration. On the waptconsole side, I simply generated certificates by only filling in the certificate name and a password.
The error seems to be related to the fact that the certificates are considered untrusted. Do I absolutely have to provide a complete chain of certificates from a recognized certificate authority? The documentation seems to indicate that it's possible to run WAPT with self-signed certificates.

WAPT server: AlmaLinux release 9.6 (Sage Margay)
WAPT Server version: 2.6.0.17293
WAPT Setup version: 2.6.0.17293

Hello,
You need to generate an agent (containing the self-signed certificate) and install this agent on the machines:
https://www.wapt.fr/fr/doc/wapt-configu ... -installer
Installing the agent will deploy the WAPT administrator's certificate to the machines, allowing you to interact with them.

Have a good day,
Bertrand

That's what I did, and I still have this error appearing in small print in the task list.

Perhaps several certificates with the same name were created, which could cause confusion? The certificate in the WAPT console preferences must be the same as the one included in the agent.
