Agent authentication on server

Hi

As I understand, there is no builtin agent authentication available at this moment (10.0.15). Some kind of authentication is only possible on the webserver with `auth_basic`. I have enabled auth_basic for `/front/inventory.php`. When I surf to that file, I get a login prompt. That's working fine.

Problem: clients can still connect to the server without authentication.
What can be wrong?

Is a default agent authentication still on the roadmap for v11? In this time of global security awareness, this is a necessity.

Thanks

Without knowing how it was configured, I can't say.

Yes. It's basically already done.
Pull request for GLPI side: https://github.com/glpi-project/glpi/pull/16727
Commit for GLPI Agent (part of the nightly releases at the moment): https://github.com/glpi-project/glpi-ag … 5bb643e317

You will be able to use the new OAuth clients we added for the new API to also authentication GLPI Agents. I think the plan is to also add in basic authentication support so you don't have to mess with the web server config, but OAuth is a much better choice in my opinion.

That's good. Any idea when this will get in an official release?

No Not at this point, but there will be several beta releases before the official release (still no ETA).
You can get a general idea of the progress towards this version by looking at the milestone on GitHub.
