wapt console permissions problem

Hello,

on a fresh installation of WAPT 1.8.1 Community

, I launch the console from the WAPT Tray after the initial installation via waptsetup-tis.exe on Windows 10.

Unlike version 1.7.4, there is no privilege elevation request.

This is clearly causing a problem because the permissions to copy the generated admin certificate to C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\ssl are missing.

If I launch waptconsole manually as administrator, I don't encounter this issue.


Is this normal?

Thank you in advance.

Hello

, yes, that's intentional; the console doesn't need to be run as administrator on a daily basis.

Copy the certificate manually, or install the agent you just generated.

Thanks for the quick reply.

If I understand the documentation correctly, the certificate needs to be located in C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\ssl
to be included in the agent installer?

So, in my case, if I haven't copied the file manually, the generated installer is incorrect.
Am I wrong?

Not anymore; now the integrated certificates are displayed during agent generation

Yes, it will be correct, but your own machine will not have the certificate in wapt/ssl/
