Hello,

We are currently testing WAPT Enterprise, and I am working on deploying the operating systems (Windows 11 and Ubuntu 24.04).

The WAPT Server version is 2.6.0.17293.

Installing Windows 11 went smoothly, but I haven't been able to deploy Ubuntu.

Booting via the network works fine, but it doesn't seem to retrieve and use the answer file; it just asks me questions (language, etc.).

I followed these instructions for DHCP configuration: https://www.wapt.fr/fr/doc/wapt-wads.ht ... figuration
and these for deploying the Linux machine:https://www.wapt.fr/fr/doc/quickstart-w ... linux.html.
Using the configuration wads_template/linux/conf/ubuntu/config_ubuntu_desktop.conf but removing the 'late-commands' section (for testing outside the domain for now).

When I look at the Ubuntu logs (cloud-init.log), I see that it tries to download the autoinstall file twice.

The first time, main.py[DEBUG]: retrieving url 'http://admin:...' (I cut it off) (Caused by NameResolutionError("

a second time main.py[WARNING]: retrieving url 'http://admin:...' (I cut it out) failed: 401 Client Error: UNAUTHORIZED for url

I'm stuck, does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Hello,

I just tried again with Ubuntu.

Indeed, in the mode:

`login_on_wads = True`
and `list_subnet_skip_login_wads =


`, it doesn't work. The given password isn't used by Ubuntu in the `cloud-config-url`.
Adding it as a token in the URL parameter wouldn't be very clean, so I need to see if I can find an alternative.


Try adding:

`list_subnet_skip_login_wads=192.168.1.0/24`

to `/opt/wapt/conf/waptserver.ini`

. Then restart the WAPT server.

This will prevent authentication from being required for the subnet in question.

Hello,

thank you for your reply.

I added our subnet to that option, and the installation is now proceeding normally.
