I'm doing a headless install of the OCS agent 2.1.1 on Windows 7 Professional. My server has HTTP authentication enabled, but the agent doesn't appear to be behaving as expected. I'm installing using this script:
@echo off
bitsadmin /transfer ocsdl /download /priority normal https://inventory/files/OCS-NG-Windows-Agent-Setup.exe %TMP%\OCS-NG-Windows-Agent-Setup.exe
%TMP%\OCS-NG-Windows-Agent-Setup.exe /s /now /server=http://ocs/ocsinventory /user=ocsinventory /pwd=xxxxxxxx
del %TMP%\OCS-NG-Windows-Agent-Setup.exe
The server is installing successfully, but when I log the content of the Authorization header being received by the OCS server, as well as the HTTP response code, I see this:
10.100.132.85 - - - [10/Mar/2015:15:12:50 -0400] "POST /ocsinventory HTTP/1.1" 401 735 "-" "OCS-NG_WINDOWS_AGENT_v2.1.1.1"
10.100.132.85 - ocsinventory Basic b2NzaW52ZW50b3J5Og== [10/Mar/2015:15:12:50 -0400] "POST /ocsinventory HTTP/1.1" 401 735 "-" "OCS-NG_WINDOWS_AGENT_v2.1.1.1"
That base 64 string decodes as "ocsinventory:" -- the password section is being left empty. Why is this?
I should mention that if I run OCSInventory.exe with /user and /pwd set, the authorization is successful. All of my Linux clients work properly. The server runs OCS 2.1.2, Debian 7, and Apache 2.2.22.
