NRDS Config Manger - Configuration not in Installer

Post by adam.davidson »

1.Linux Distribution and version? CentOS release 6.5 (Final)
2.32 or 64bit? 64
3.VMware Image or Manual Install of XI? VMware Image
4.Are there special configurations on your system, ie; is Gnome installed? Are you using a proxy? Are you using SSL? SSL w/ third party cert.

After installing a third party cert for SLL, when using the NRDS Config Manger to create new configs for different Windows servers the config will not apply when installing the nrds client on the remote node.

Steps to Creat Config:

a. Enter DRDS COnfig Manger
b. Create config
c Select OS (Windows 64bit)
d. set config_name
e. enter monitor commands
f. everything else defaults
g. IGNORE_SSL_CERTIFICATE_ERRORS = YES
h. UPDATE_CONFIG = YES
i. UPDATE_PLUGINS = YES
j. Save
k. Download Client

I would like to configuration to be part of the client download package as it was.

Have you followed the necessary steps to enable/force https in nrdp?

Modify the "/usr/local/nrdp/server/config.inc.php" file by changing this line:

Code: Select all

    $cfg["require_https"]=false;
to this:

Code: Select all

    $cfg["require_https"]=true;
When you create your config (Admin->NRDS Config Manager->Create Config), enter "https" in the "URL" text field instead of "http".

I have completed the tasks described above with no success.

I don't really thing this is a HTTPS connection issue.

The installer generated by Nagios for a windows client does not include the custom config.ini file. Could this be a permissions issue

Can you elaborate on this? How did you test it?

Were you able to run the client installer on the Windows box successfully? Did "NRDS" task job showed up in the Task Scheduler?

Do you have anything coming in from this client to the Unconfigured Objects in XI? Are all of the checks defined under the "NRDS Config Manager" show up in "Unfonfigured Objects"?
