[RESOLVED] Devices marked as reachable in the console even though they are turned off

Debian: 12
nginx: 1.24
Wapt server: 2.5.2.15207

Hello,

We just upgraded from Wapt 2.4 to 2.5.

The workstations reconnected correctly after the Wapt server upgrade, but they remain "reachable" even when powered off. This didn't happen in version 2.4 with the same server configuration.

Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

Thank you for your help.

Best regards.

We think we've found the problem; have you enabled certificate authentication in the postconf?

Hello and thank you for your quick reply, Simon.

Using HTTPS authentication via postconf solves this problem, but it blocks my external workstations that use the reverse proxy.
My situation is complex; I use two domains for my WAPT server, one internal for my desktops and one external for my laptops, therefore requiring two different certificates (a self-signed WAPT certificate internally and a public certificate externally).
Switching the reverse proxy to a simple "mod-stream" disables the SSL delegation that allowed me to switch between certificates.

I'll start another thread if needed regarding the reverse proxy once I've analyzed everything. Kevin provided us with a configuration; thank you to him.

This specific issue is resolved; thanks again.
