[SOLVED] Unable to create the WAPT agent (icon remains greyed out)

Hello,

I'm having trouble updating WAPT from version 1.3 to 1.6 and I haven't been able to create the WAPT agent.

After following the tutorial
https://wapt.tranquil.it/wapt/nightly/d ... inima.html

, I uninstalled and then installed version 1.5.
After re-entering the certificates, the icon remains grayed out.
Is there a step I might have missed?

Thank you in advance.

Hello Helpdesk_unigrains,

version 1.3 is getting a bit old... There have been quite a few changes to the communication protocol between the client and the server, as well as to the packet format and signature.

To upgrade, you should check the documentation released for version 1.6: https://www.wapt.fr/fr/doc-1.6/waptserv ... index.html

You haven't mentioned the server OS version (see forum rules above).

Regards,
Denis

If the action is grayed out, it's either because you haven't specified the path to your personal certificate (the .crt file, often stored in c:\private) or because this certificate isn't a "code signing" certificate.

On Wapt >=1.5, a distinction is made between "code signing" certificates, which are authorized to sign packages with Python code, and other certificates, which can only sign actions or packages without a setup.py file.

If your certificate doesn't have the code signing property, you'll need to recreate one from the console.

Hello,

this is a Windows Server 2012 R2.
I'm going to check the certificate signing; I don't think I've done that.
I'll get back to you as soon as it's done.

Thank you

Hello,

after re-signing the packages I was indeed able to get a success.
My error was that I was selecting the wrong private key.
Following this, I was able to access the WAPT agent generation.
