Plugin not executed by httpd on v2.5 ocs-ng

Question

Hi,

Trying to setup "Plugin Vmware vCenter". on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.6 (Maipo)

All files are installed succesfuly:

-rw-rw-rw-. 1 apache apache 54 Nov 28 15:33 /etc/ocsinventory-server/plugins/Vmware.conf
-rw-rw-rw-. 1 apache apache 5062 Nov 28 15:33 /etc/ocsinventory-server/perl/Apache/Ocsinventory/Plugins/Vmware/Map.pm

Agent file also deployed:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 20087 Nov 29 20:34 /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Ocsinventory/Agent/Vmware.pm

But no Error messages or logs in the http log files either not sure what is not causing it to load and execute.

Answer 1

Hi

Vmware.pm file (agent side) must be stored in /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Ocsinventory/Agent/Modules directory.

Answer 2

Thank you for the answer it works, not sure if you help further but I am trying to authenticate against vCenter v6.5 Appliance but its still an issue:

Password I tried, base64, regular, and the digest but neither works but with curl as shown below:

curl -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Accept: application/json' --header 'vmware-api-session-id: null' 'https://spvvapvc65101.corp.priv/rest/com/vmware/cis/session' --basic -k --user 's-mon@DOMAIN:Password' --verbose

       URL  => "https://spvvapvc65101.diaglabs.corp.priv/",

       AUTH_DIG     => "s-mon\@DIAGLABS:cy1tb25ARElBR0xBQlM6bDdqbmJ1QVc=",

Answer 3

Fixed the problem:

Incorrect:

AUTH_DIG     => "username\@DOMAIN:password",

Correct:

correctpassword: echo -n "username@DOMAIN:password" | base64

AUTH_DIG     => "correctpassword",

I hope that helps.
