Message 'https' is not supported' - Unix Packager

Question

Hi,

I am utilizing the OCSNG Unix Packager 1.0 (also tried 1.1) to create an Agent package for Ubuntu 16.04.4. The package works when using 'http' to connect to the OCSNG Inventory Server but does not when using 'https' (SSL).

---

client:~$ sudo /opt/ocsinventory/ocsinventory-agent -s https://OCSNGServer/ocsinventory 

--basevardir=/opt/ocsinventory/var/lib/ocsinventory-agent 

--tag=UbuntuServer --lazy --ca=/opt/ocsinventory/files/cacert.pem


[error] Cannot establish communication : 501 Protocol scheme 'https' is not supported 

(LWP::Protocol::https not installed)

[info] No previous PROLOG_FREQ found - using fallback delay(3600 seconds)

---

The needed Perl module is included in the Agent Package in '/opt/ocsinventory/perl/lib/5.26.0/URI/https.pm', so what's the problem?

Answer 1

Hi,

Have you installed LWP::Protocol::https module?

Answer 2

Hi Frank,

That perl module "LWP::Protocol::https" has been downloaded and included in the packaged agent. The OCSNG Unix packager creates an archive containing all the necessary files including the agent itself "ready for deployment", without any additional components needed. See https://github.com/OCSInventory-NG/Packager-for-Unix

However I have also installed the module LWP::Protocol::https by hand and still receive the same error message probably because the agent is only using the modules it was packaged with.

Thanks,

Rick

Answer 3

Hi,

Sorry for the inconvenient.
The archive has been rebuild because the old one was bad (no all necessary files for perl modules were included). Could you rebuild your agent with the new archive and let me know if it's OK?

Kind regards

Frank

Answer 4

I used Unix packager again to build a new agent deployment package but still have the same error message. Not sure which "new archive" you mean?
BTW: By default the Unix Packager downloads the OCSNG Agent 2.3, should I btter use a newer Agent?
