Request for login credentials during agent installation

I just configured a new WAPT server under Debian 9.
WAPT Server version: 1.5.1.21,
WAPT Agent version: 1.5.1.21,
WAPT Setup version: 1.5.1.21,
WAPT Deploy version: 1.5.1.21.
Database status: OK (1.5.1.21).

During the installation of the waptagent.exe agent, and at the very end during computer registration, a console window opens on the Windows machine asking me to enter my console credentials ("please get login").
After entering the credentials, the agent installs correctly; however, I think there's a problem during the agent generation process.
Could you give me some pointers on how to fix this issue?
Thanks in advance

Actually, it's not a defect, but a change compared to version 1.3.13.

In version 1.5.1, machines must be authenticated in order to register for the first time on the Wapt server.

They are either through their Kerberos account if they are integrated into a domain and Kerberos was activated during the installation of the Wapt server and during the generation of the agent.
In this case, the initial registration (register) on the server does not require additional authentication.

Otherwise, you must manually provide a Wapt administrator username/password for the server to accept the machine.

Alternatively, we can also keep the unauthenticated mode from version 1.3 by adding the parameter

Code: Select all

allow_unauthenticated_registration = False
to waptserver.ini
