Hello,
I just installed WAPT server 1.5.1.23 on Debian Stretch, then selected option 3 in Post-configuration, "strong authentication without Kerberos".

To install the Console on Windows 10, I ran `wapt-get "Please get login for add_host:"` with the username and password provided.

Once the package signing certificate is generated, I checked "Verify the server HTTPS certificate" and then "Sign waptupgrade with SHA256 AND SHA1", and the WAPT Agent was created.

Manual installation of this Agent on Windows 7 works perfectly if the username and password are the same as for the Console installation when `wapt-get "Please get login for add_host:"` is used.

How can I now install this Agent on a machine that receives an automatic response to "Please get login for add_host:"?

I tried unsuccessfully using waptagent.exe /VERYSILENT /PASSWORD=xxxxx or /PASSWORD="xxxxx" or /PASSWORD=""xxxxx"", with xxxxx displayed in plain text.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you for any clarification.

If the password is written in plain text, there's not much point in enabling login/password saving... I don't know if there's a way to pass these parameters to the installer; I don't think so. In fact, it's a rarely used scenario; either Kerberos is configured, or the save is unauthenticated.

If your problem is to protect access to a WAPT server that is directly on the internet, the best solution is to implement basic authentication on the nginx and put a username/password in the repo_url and server_url.

Sincerely,

Denis

Okay. Thank you for your reply.
