Hello,

very simple question: is self-service available on Linux client machines? I haven't found any information on this in the documentation.

If so, how do I launch it?

Thank you in advance,

Dany Jeulin,

In theory, yes, even in "system" mode, but it depends on your system configuration.

In practice, it's mainly the waptserver-ldap mode that's implemented for our clients:

Thank you for your reply.

However, I have the impression that it is not installed by default with the agent, as it is for Linux/Mac machines. I cannot find the self-service application after installing the agent on my Linux machine.

There's a separate executable file for placing the binaries:

tis-waptagent-gui

deb: https://wapt.tranquil.it/wapt/releases/ ... -amd64.deb
rpm: https://wapt.tranquil.it/wapt/releases/ ... x86_64.rpm

We put this separately because Linux servers without a graphical interface don't need it.

Thank you for your reply, it works.

Would it be possible to make it a package directly available on the Wapt store?
