===ipdiscover and SME===
+
===ipdiscover on SME===
We need to make ipdiscover working on SME.
+
IpDiscover is not working on SME. Please use another agent to ipdiscover your networks at the moment.
   −
The standalone command works:
+
I've opened a [http://forums.ocsinventory-ng.org/viewtopic.php?pid=5684#p5684 thread] on OCS forum.
# ipdiscover eth0 10
  −
But IpDiscover is not launched when SME is the elected/forced client.
     −
Agent is not well documented, I tried the debug mode:
+
Let's hope the next version will come out soon!
# ocsinventory-agent -s localhost --debug
  −
[debug] Failed to load `/etc/ocsinventory-agent/modules.conf': 0. No external module will be used.

  −
Compilation failed in require at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/Ocsinventory/Agent/Backend.pm line 69.

I'm not sure about these errors, but we do not have BSD!

[debug] No respHandlers avalaible for OPTION. The data returned by server in this hash will be lost.

This is more interesting: client doesn't gather IpDiscover info!
  −
 
  −
I checked that after changing other values in the web interface they were applied to the Agent, and they were... The problem is only for IpDiscover!!!
  −
 
  −
I also tryed to put manual changes in the '''/var/lib/ocsinventory-agent/localhost/ocsinv.conf''' file
  −
<IPDISCOVER_VERSION>3</IPDISCOVER_VERSION>
  −
Nothing is working @#$*!

The file that gathers options should be '''/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/Ocsinventory/Agent/Option/Update.pm'''

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.

==www/ocs/install.php bugs==
New doc, enjoy!
+
A problem was found in the default imported database. This ends with some ''alter'' errors. This can be fixed by refreshing the web page.
   −
=> Why do we need really an admin account? Why can't we use ocs?
+
I took a look on ocsweb database with phpmyadmin before and after using install.php
If you encounter any problem with files insertion, try setting the global max_allowed_packet mysql value to at least 2M in your server config file.
  −
How to set this value for ocs only?
     −
=> install.php is needed, as you now know. But the file can be renamed or secured when not needed ;-)
+
I noticed that a lot of tables' ''engine type'' were ''MyISAM'' and after using install.php their type was ''InnoDB''!
----
+
 
I didn't use this screenshot finally... It shows default MaxUpload can be seen here & ocsagent.exe not present
+
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!
[[Image:OCS-installphp-warning.png]]<br>
+
 
Should we delete it?
+
Help needed!

=wiki page=
What will be fixed in next RPM release...
     −
==MaxUpload==
  −
Default value will raise to 100M (OpenOffice ready)
     −
==secure install.php==
  −
What is the best way to secure this file?
  −
Move it?
  −
Rename it?
  −
chmod 400?
  −
If this file is secured, we need to document that in the article.
     −
==/download==
+
==5.3.2 Deployment menu==
Now that we know that the activation warning can be skipped, can we delete in ocs Apache template:
  −
<Directory /opt/inventory/ocs/download>
  −
  Options None
  −
-  Options +Indexes
  −
-  Options +Includes
  −
  AllowOverride None
  −
  order deny,allow
  −
  deny from all
  −
  allow from { $localAccess }
  −
  php_admin_value open_basedir /opt/inventory/ocs/download:/tmp
  −
</Directory>
  −
This will disallow files from being viewable (but still accessible for ocs?)
     −
This would be more secure if it works! Need to test that!
+
there must be a lot of ways this could be used,
 +
why make everyone think of them themselves when it could be spelled out
   −
==dependencies==
+
this could be a new page, [[:Application deployment]]
change the install method to install the  perl dependencies that are available from existing repos.
     −
Then you can reduce the number of perl rpms in your download the less you are responsible for the better
+
this could include other ways to deploy, eg using netlogon.bat
   −
yum localinstall smeserver-inventory-tools* --enablerepo=dag --enablerepo=extras
+
others can work on this cool34000 has done enough

Is this just a doc issue or do I need to change the Requires?  DOCUMENTATION, CHANGE THE INSTALL COMMAND
+
Here's the way I've always used OCS... First I import the standard ''ocsagent.exe'' in MySQL.
   −
All needed deps are should be in ''extras'' and mostly in ''dag''
+
I don't like to install a service when it's not needed, so I use the standalone executable. I also don't use OCS deployment feature (I'm using GPOs for that)
   −
Here's the actual list of Requires in the .spec file (edit if 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.
  - Requires:  e-smith-base  SN - NOT NEEDED IF YOU HAVE BELOW
+
  @echo off
  - Requires:  e-smith-release >= 7              # Note: SME >8 may need a fix if it uses mod_perl >=2  (could be good to test and be ready!)
+
  \\server\share\mydomain.com.exe /np /debug /tag:my_tag
  + DON'T WE HAVE SMESERVER-RELEASE >=7 ? CHECK, rpm -q ...
+
That's all!
Requires:  mod_perl >= 1.99_16-4
  −
Requires:  monitor-edid >= 1.11-1            #ocs Agent
  −
Requires:  ocsinventory-ipdiscover >= 1.01-2 #ocs Agent => will remove this one as it's already a dependency of ocsinventory-agent
  −
Requires:  ocsinventory-agent >= 0.0.6-1    #ocs Agent
  −
  Requires:  perl-Apache-DBI >= 0.9901-2.2
  −
  Requires:  perl-Archive-Tar >= 1.23-3.99_2
  −
Requires: perl-Compress-Zlib >= 1.42-1
  −
Requires:  perl-Crypt-OpenSSL-Bignum >= 0.03-1.2
  −
Requires:  perl-Crypt-OpenSSL-RSA >= 0.21-1.2
  −
Requires:  perl-IO-Socket-SSL >= 1.01-1
  −

  −
Requires:  perl-Net-XMPP >= 1.0-1.2
  −
Requires:  perl-SOAP-Lite >= 0.69-1
  −

Conflicts: smeserver-ocs_inventory_ng  # old RPM version, here for safety!
  −
Conflicts: smeserver-glpi              # old RPM version, here for safety!
     −
=> fresh 7.1 final CD install - no updates
+
Of course, more can be done...
   −
=> dag added to yum repos (disabled and invisible)
+
*Install the Agent silently in a script
 +
*Use GPOs (deploy, install, update)
 +
*Create your own ''ocsagent.exe''
 +
People need to read the guide! It's well documented.
   −
=> removed all perl dependencies:
+
If someone can take some time to document that, it would be nice!
 
  −
A lot are missing... The RPM installed but I got an error trying to contact the server!

Add the dependacies and use the new yum command with --enablerepo.....

==glpi==

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