Hello, I'm currently coding a WAPT integration for NethServer (a CentOS 7 clone). The goal is to allow the sysadmin to focus on managing their infrastructure and network, rather than worrying about server/network setup. This is the philosophy behind NethServer : a server with a Cockpit-based server manager. To introduce myself, I'm a developer on the project, Stéphane de Labrusse, aka stephdl. I've managed to achieve what I wanted, but I'm starting this thread to address what's not working as intended. After installing the nethserver-wapt package, you should have : - The waptserver wapttasks service started, ready to work with open wapt-1.3 authentication. - If Samba AD authentication has been enabled (remotely or locally) on NethServer, wapt is ready for Kerberos authentication. I have two questions : 1- To start the service, I use a script that configures WAPT to use open authentication. I would like to be able to choose the authentication method and password; I don't know if this is possible (unless I submit a pull request?). 2- Is there a plan to run the WAPT server in gateway mode (with multiple network cards)? I haven't tried it for long, but I got WebSocket errors when the console tried to upload the wpt-agent. Is this theoretically possible?

Hello

A few more questions about CentOS 7

I see a logrotate file for waptserver but not for the wapttasks log; I'm wondering..

It seems to me that the nginx template is not marked in

Code: Select all

%config noreplace

in the rpm spec, if the sysadmin modifies it, then an update via the rpm will modify it and a reconfiguration via the console will lose the modifications.
I'm talking about:

Code: Select all

/opt/wapt/waptserver/scripts/wapt.nginxconfig.template

The systemd waptserver service wasn't starting at server boot; it seemed to be trying to start before the network was available. I had to customize this to find the UP service

Code: Select all

# /etc/systemd/system/waptserver.service.d/nethserver.conf
[Unit]
Description=WAPT Server startup script custom for NethServer
After=network.target
