WAPT agent that does not update after upgrading from 1.5 to 1.6

Good evening,

After updating the server from 1.5 to 1.6 and regenerating the agent, the WAPT clients are not updating to 1.6.
They remain on version 1.5 with the status "OK" and reachable as "DISCONNECTED".

How can the WAPT agent be updated automatically? (without using GPO because the PCs are remote)

Regards

Can you add

`allow_unauthenticated_connect = True`


conf/waptserver.ini` while the workstations are being migrated to version 1.6?

It seems to be working.

I need to understand where I went wrong. Is there a particular reason?
Should I change the value back to "False"?

Regards

We simply didn't take the time in the 1.5 -> 1.6 upgrade documentation to note certain things:

https://www.wapt.fr/fr/doc/changelog.html#changes
https://www.wapt.fr/fr/doc/Configuratio ... tie-option

We changed the WebSocket authentication method. By default, they are not authenticated if `allow_unauthenticated_registration = True`.

When you are coming from version 1.5, if `allow_unauthenticated_registration = False`, then you must switch `allow_unauthenticated_connect = True` to use WebSockets.

Once all clients are updated, you can switch `allow_unauthenticated_connect = False` again.
