[Fog] Fog installations woes :(

[kevbaz]

Found fogcrpyt but no idea how to actually use it? any pointers?

thanks

It's command line based.

Goto command prompt, and get to the Fogcrypt directory then type

Fogcrypt yourpassword

You should get a response like

F:\FOGCrypt>fogcrypt password

  Input string: password
  Passkey:      #############
  Output:       52498fbfb2bba2c02ec81c17036949b9

Copy and paste the output string into fog in the password field and it will then allow Fog to add the machine to the domain.

Also one gotcha with this which caught me out, you MUST have the microsoft support tools installed on the workstation that fog is adding to the network, specifically the program netdom.exe is needed to perform the domain functions.

excellent thanks for the tip


I have cd'd to the fogcrypt directory but when i try

fogcrypt Password

i get command not found?

[maniac]

Have you got all the necessary files in the fogcrypt directory? there should be

Fogcrypt.exe
IniReaderObj.dll
and a directory called etc which contains a configuration file.

As long as you've got them all, there's no reason it shouldn't work.

I did it in windows using command prompt.

Do it on a Windows box instead?

[kevbaz]

yeah just copied it to a usb stick and put it on my machine... why on earth is there a windows based app in a linux install? where in the wiki does it say to transfer the files to a windows machine? bah!


anyway thanks for the help

[clarky2k3]

Open up the .tar download of fog in windows using winrar and extract the FOGCrypt directory to your C:\ Drive. Then use command prompt. The AD intergration guide on the wiki could be more in-depth like.

what needs editing in the ini?

It is recommended that you change the passkey for security. Have a look at the section Securing Active Directory Intergration on the wiki.

How many Linux programs do you know with .exe and .dll files involved??

[kevbaz]

well considering im completly new to linux none! wiki's and user guides should be written so that any idiot (me) can follow
