Imaging Issue After Upgrading FileWave and Using Self-Signed SSL Certificate

What

You are experiencing difficulties imaging machines after upgrading your FileWave Server, IVS, and Clients while using a Self-Signed SSL Certificate.

When/Why

This step is necessary when using a Self-Signed SSL Certificate. Ensure to include this additional step in your IVS upgrade process if you are not using a Root Trusted SSL Certificate.

How

  1. Access the IVS via SSH or locally:
    • Connect to the IVS via SSH or access it locally. Use sudo -s to make sure you are using the root user.
  2. Edit the dnsmasq.lua file:
    • Use your preferred command-line editor (e.g., vi or nano) to edit the dnsmasq.lua file. For example: 
      • vi /imaging/scripts/bin/dnsmasq.lua
      • nano /imaging/scripts/bin/dnsmasq.lua
  1. Navigate to line 128:
    • Use the arrow keys or appropriate commands to navigate to line 128.

    • Press 'i' to switch to insert mode in vi. Or, if you're using nano, you can just use the arrow keys and edit.
  3. Add the following line:
    • req.tls = false
  4. Save and exit vi or nano:
    • Press the Esc key to exit insert mode.
    • Type ':wq' and press Enter to save and exit vi. Or, ctrl+x and save the file with nano.
  5. Verify functionality:
    • You should now be able to image machines successfully.
