ocs inventory NG Agent

Question

Hello Admin

I install OCS finished NG server and Agent, when OCS-inventory-NG-Agent running updated to the server, will use user account for update data to server. please help to me, How can I do that. because now I use IP public for OCS server, so if OCS-inventory-NG-Agent don't need to account for update to server, I think that way dangerous for me. I have some branches, so I need to use public IP for server.

Here are a few things to do to secure your setup.

Follow these recommendations @ https://wiki.ocsinventory-ng.org/index.php?title=Documentation:Secure#Secure_your_managment_console

Configure your web server to use an SSL certificate so your URL begins with https and require the use of SSL encryption.

Configure clients to use https://myocsserver.mydomain.org/ocsinventory
## A sample /etc/ocsinventory/ocsinventory-agent.cfg

server=https://myocsserver.mydomain.org/ocsinventory
# /usr/bin/ocsinventory-agent --debug --server https://myocsserver.mydomain.org/ocsinventory
# basevardir = /var/lib/ocsinventory-agent
ssl = 1
logger = Stderr
tag = Paris-Branch

## end of config

Restrict access to the https://myocsserver.mydomain.org/ocsreports/ to only trusted IP addresses.
