We need to confirm that ipdiscover works when the smeserver is the forced client.

There are still some bugs in this RPM... Help us to fix them!

==ipdiscover bug==
 +
===ipdiscover on SME===
 +
IpDiscover is not working on SME. Please use another agent to ipdiscover your networks at the moment.
  
I Tried the following:

I've opened a [http://forums.ocsinventory-ng.org/viewtopic.php?pid=5684#p5684 thread] on OCS forum.
ipdiscover eth0 10
 
{{Note box|''Usage : ipdiscover [iface name] [latency in ms]''}}
 
  
Here's what I got on my server:
+
Let's hope the next version will come out soon!
<IPDISCOVER>
+
===ipdiscover-util.pl===
<H><I>192.168.0.100</I><M>00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx</M><N>pc-00100.mydomain.com</N></H>

This script used by the web interface do not seem to work too.
<H><I>192.168.0.253</I><M>00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx</M><N>pc-00253.mydomain.com</N></H>

</IPDISCOVER>
 
Sounds like it's working for me... But IpDiscover discovers nothing when launched by SME OCS' Agent. There must be a problem here!
 
  
Windows Agent don't have this problem...
+
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... Not sure about how this is working, if someone can help, please do!

A problem was found in the default imported database. This ends with some ''alter'' errors. This can be fixed by refreshing the web page.
The only way I was able to reproduce an error on package deletion is when I refreshed the page (as files were already removed, I got an error)

I have documented that you can ignore the error, maybe i should say if you see the error you can ignore?

==Upload size limit bug==

Must document that on the Wiki:
 
Max allowed packet value is set to 10M.
 
  
=> impact of setting such large value on the server?
 
=> lower this value maybe?
 
  
No need to create a custom template: DB values already exist for this! They are hidden in php.ini templates ''40DataHandling'' and ''60FileUploads''
 
  
php Values can be changed with the following:
+
==5.3.2 Deployment menu==
config setprop php UploadMaxFilesize 50M PostMaxSize 50M
 
expand-template /etc/php.ini
 
signal-event ocsglpi-update

a minor change, don't release an rpm just for this
 
 
 
/glpi is hard to remember
 
  
can we add a duplicate alias, eg /reports

this could include other ways to deploy, eg using netlogon.bat
  
or make a URL db setting so it is configurable

others can work on this cool34000 has done enough

known bugs

There are still some bugs in this RPM... Help us to fix them!

ipdiscover bug

ipdiscover on SME

IpDiscover is not working on SME. Please use another agent to ipdiscover your networks at the moment.

I've opened a thread on OCS forum.

Let's hope the next version will come out soon!

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... Not sure about how this is working, if someone can help, please do!

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 a lot of tables' engine type were MyISAM and after using install.php their type was 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!

Help needed!

wiki page

5.3.2 Deployment menu

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

Here's the way I've always used OCS... First I import the standard ocsagent.exe in MySQL.

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)

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)
  • Create your own ocsagent.exe

People need to read the guide! It's well documented.

If someone can take some time to document that, it would be nice!
