known bugs
There are still some bugs in this RPM... Help us to fix them!
ipdiscover bug
ipdiscover and SME
IpDiscover is not working on SME. We know that. Please use a different client to ipdiscover your networks.
I've opened a thread on OCS forum.
ipdiscover-util.pl
This script used by the web interface do not seem to work too.
First thing to do is to change the password in this file...
... my $dbhost = 'localhost'; my $dbuser = 'ocs'; my $dbpwd = 'ocs'; my $db = 'ocsweb'; my $dbp = '3306';
The password should be dynamical as this is a perl script. We need to use esmith::ConfigDB or something else to retrieve this value... I was unable to handle that.
Also a problem, the script cannot be executed. I try to add script handler for .pl but it didn't worked...
www/ocs/install.php bugs
A problem was found in the default imported database. This ends with some alter errors. This can be fixed by refreshing the web page.
I took a look on ocsweb database with phpmyadmin before and after using install.php
I noticed that engine type is MyISAM and after using install.php their type is InnoDB!
So I tried to export a new database (this time with extended parameters), but this new database don't import in ocsweb database: it ends with errors trying to create the 1st table!
Cool34000
new RPM (1-7)
New RPM uploaded! Wait for miror sync...
Changelog:
- Fix security issue on dbconfig.inc.php - We now use root:www 440 - Fix perms on ocsreports folder and ipdiscover-util.pl (750 for both) - Fix problem while importing ocsagent.exe into MySQL with ocs user - MaxUpload limit raised to 100M by default (new install only)
Update ASAP!
install.php is no more a problem with this new RPM, install.php will not be usable untill security is put back to 660 in dbconfig.ini.php
The problem while importing ocsagent.exe is fixed by setting max_allowed_packet to 2M (this value is not set by default).
Wiki needs to be updated... Will do the needed modifications later in the evening.
Enjoy!

future RPM
dependencies
just supply the .tar.gz
add all the dependacies in smeserver-inventory-tools to make sure the user has installed them
wiki page
split page
I'd like to move somethings to a sub page and just show the most likely options
4.2.2 ocsagent.exe
4.2.3 OcsLogon.exe
in time, 3.3.1 Old RPMs version
5.2.1 Modifying default behaviour
Done... Does it rocks for you? If yes, I'll do the translation in FR...
Cool34000
The info seems to be all on the one page still,
there must be a lot of ways this could be used, why make everyone think of them themselves when it could be spelled out
this could be a new page, Application deployment
this could include other ways to deploy, eg using netlogon.bat
others can work on this cool34000 has done enough Stefen
In fact, that's the way I always used OCS... I don't like to install a service when it's not needed...
It is so fast to use against the need of installing the Agent: put OcsLogon.exe in a share folder and simply launch it with a one command line batch script each time a session is opened.
@echo off \\server\share\mydomain.com.exe /np /debug /tag:my_tag
That's all!
Of course, more can be done...
- Install the Agent silently in a script
- Use GPOs (deploy, install, update)
- ...Read the guide!
Didn't document that... Do we really need to? The command line is really simple, then it's the end-user's job to adapt it to his network and needs.

someone who uses this may like to add some more information on how to use it, some link to more docs at least
