[SOLVED] Restarting or shutting down workstations

[alain17]

Yes, it's only available with an enterprise license. If the menus aren't grayed out in the console, it's an error; we must have missed that when merging the enterprise and community code into a single binary.

So, since I'm on the Enterprise version, I'd be interested to know if my configuration is sufficient (and if it's a bug) or if I've missed something. The only computer I can restart or shut down is my own, which is running the console

So I used the package

TIS-WAPT-CONF-POLICY

which I modified to suit my needs and deployed on my client machines and it does its job perfectly.

Thank you Florian.

Unfortunately, even modifying the package didn't have the desired effect. I had to adapt the code using the following approach for it to finally work (without removing the parameters and the "default_global" section; my packages are installed, but the configuration file isn't updated):

Code: Select all

def install():
    print("Applying WAPT Configuration Policy")

    # Clean existing instructions
    inifile_deleteoption(WAPT.config_filename, 'global', 'allow_remote_reboot')
    inifile_deleteoption(WAPT.config_filename, 'global', 'allow_remote_shutdown')
    inifile_deletesection(WAPT.config_filename, 'default_global')

    # Editing wapt-get.ini of the WAPT Agent
    inifile_writestring(WAPT.config_filename, 'global', 'allow_remote_reboot', 1)
    inifile_writestring(WAPT.config_filename, 'global', 'allow_remote_shutdown', 1)

    print("Reloading WAPT configuration")
    WAPT.reload_config_if_updated()

What I find strange is that a "default_global" section keeps appearing in my configuration files and seems to loop back on itself (and isn't documented) to overwrite my values. Deleting it and reapplying the settings fixes it perfectly.
