I Can't Login in AMT Web UI


Where to get CA plugin option?

$
0
0

Brand new install of Intel SCS v9.0.23.10 in non-database mode. Need to do zero touch to a lot of far away AMT v9.0 clients.

After launching the Intel SCS console and stepping through the configuration profile wizard to "Transport Layer Security", a little blue "i" says:

"The CA plugin option is not available because a CA plugin was not loaded"

Where is this CA plugin option so a certificate can be purchased and used?

SCCM 2012 Out Of Band

$

0

Good morning, 

I have a test environment where i am trying to configure SCCM 2012 and OOB. 

I have configured the OOB service and logged into the IME and configured it with the correct HASHS and enabled the network.

When trying to provision the AMT sccm logs: DoConnectToAMTDevice: Failed to establish tcp session to 192.168.0.13:16993

I can connect via the web browser on 16992 but not 16993 - I have attached my amtopmgr.log file, as you can see at the top it connects once and detects the AMT but it then reverts back to undiscovered. 

Any help would be appreciated. 

Thanks, Lee

Meshcentral.com - Second IP address

$
0
0

Just a quick note to say that a few days back, we added a second static IP address to Meshcentral.com and made it known as "swarm.meshcentral.com". I configured the server so that port 443 on the new IP address is identical to port 8080 on the original address. So, Mesh agents can now connect back to Meshcentral using both meshcentral.com:8080 or swarm.meshcentral.com:443. This feature was requested because some sites have all outgoing ports blocked except for ports 80 and 443, so the mesh agent would not be usable on these networks. It's also the same port used for Intel AMT CIRA (Client Initiated Remote Access) connections, so both Mesh agents and Intel AMT CIRA connections should now work for these networks.

Now, if you already created a mesh on Meshcentral.com, it will point to the 8080 port. That still works and will continue to work in the future. All new mesh created on Meshcentral.com will now be created to point to swarm.meshcentral.com:443.

Hope it helps,
Ylian

    In one of the most significant announcement in the last year, and one that deeply changes the inner workings of mesh, starting yesterday we released initial support for WebRTC in Meshcentral. For people who are not yet familiar, WebRTC is a set of open standards supported in Chrome, Firefox and Opera that allows browsers to directly communicate to one another enabling audio, video and data channels directly from a browser to another. Meshcentral takes WebRTC to a new level by allowing direct Browser-to-Machine communication. You can now use Meshcentral.com to setup a secure, authenticated channel between a browser and a remote machine to do remote desktop, terminal, file access and much more. When used, traffic will no longer flow thru Meshcentral, but directly between the browser and the target device.

    In the last month, we proceeded to implement our very own WebRTC stack that now comes standard with v1.78 of the mesh agent. The new stack adds about 15k to the agent binary, is fully Intel built and implements support for all required standards: STUN/ICE/dTLS/RCTP/WebRTC. Since it’s for machine communication, the new stack supports only WebRTC data channels and is built into every Processor/OS agents we have. So, you can perform efficient remote desktop session to a PC or laptop, or launch a web terminal session to an Intel Galileo or Raspberry Pi. We support WebRTC across the board in everything from Win8 to WinXP, Linux, Yocto on x86, MIPS, ARM. From big servers to internet-of-things. As we roll this out, users should see improved performance from Meshcentral. For people running their own Meshcentral servers, the amount of traffic relayed should start to drop, making Meshcentral servers more cost effective to run.

    Firefox, Chrome and Opera users with the latest Mesh agent and browser will see the new “Direct Connect” on the desktop, terminal and file tabs. Pressing it to attempt a WebRTC connection to the target device. Mesh agents will be automatically updated, but some may need to be re-installed to fix Windows firewall rules. The normal connection mode routed thru Meshcentral is not going away and users always have the option to fall back to this mode if needed. We have a demonstration video of WebRTC here.

    Happy new year everyone! Once again the Mesh team is getting back to work and we got plenty on our plate. For this blog post, we got something that many people familiar with Intel AMT may find completely crazy. For people not familiar with Intel AMT, fear not, we got other interesting announcements coming up. In order to access Intel AMT features on the local computer, you need both the MEI driver and a LMS application. This is not a problem on Windows since Intel provides an installation package that includes both, but on Linux this have been more difficult. The Linux Kernel comes with the MEI driver built-in, but LMS is almost impossible to get. Users have to download and hand compile it from source code, making it a huge problem enabling Intel AMT on Linux & Android machines.

    Well, we just released a Mesh solution to this long standing problem: On Linux x86 32bit and 64bit, we released a new mesh agent that includes the LMS right into the agent! That’s right, you can access Intel AMT locally, perform provisioning and more just by installing the Mesh agent on top of the MEI driver. Nothing else needed. Basically, you can install the Mesh Agent on a stock Linux distribution like Ubuntu and take advantage of all of the Intel AMT features. This bring Meshcentral’s Intel AMT Linux capability on part with Windows without having the users jump thru hoops.

    The new “MicroLMS” built-into the Mesh agent is a complete code re-write based around the Microstack. So, the new LMS shares code and threads with all of the existing features in the Mesh agent and adds only 5k to the executable size. MicroLMS re-implements the “APF” protocol that is used to relay TCP connections on port 16992/16993 to Intel AMT. Upon launch, the Mesh agent will automatically detect is the MicroLMS should be launched, it will do so if MEI driver is available and no other LMS service is already provided on the system.The new Linux mesh agent is being patched automatically, so Linux / Intel AMT users will start getting local access enabled automatically.

    Enjoy!
    Ylian
    meshcentral.com

    With the new Linux x86 32bit and 64bit agent, the LMS application is no longer needed.
    That is a good thing because it’s not widely available on Linux, users have to compile from source.

    This is a stock Linux Ubuntu x86-64 screen showing local access to Intel AMT.
    We just install the Mesh agent and get local access Intel AMT immediately.

  • Speeding up Intel(R) AMT IDE-Redirection with a 2-stage boot process

    $

    Problem:  IDE-Redirection with large ISO is very slow

    If you are managing Intel AMT clients and have used the IDE-Redirection feature, you have probably experienced how long it can take to boot a large ISO across the network.  You have also probably noticed that there is no way to speed up the connection even though your network is very fast. The reason for this is that for both KVM and SOL/IDER connections, AMT connects at a 10 Mb speed in order to conserve power.  Once it makes the initial connection, it never renegotiates the speed and there is nothing you can do to override the established connection. Once the session is completed, the speed is renegotiated.  If you try to change the connection you might get an error that looks like this:

    • kernel: em0: Media change is blocked due to SOL/IDER session

    Solution: Implement the 2-Stage boot process

    A great work-around for this is to implement a 2-Stage boot process.  The 2-Stage boot process uses a special ISO which boots the first ISO (6MB) using the IDE-R channel but then switches to the ethernet channel to boot to another selected ISO.

    You can view a video/demo of this process here.  Note that you will need to create an account in order to view this video.  You can also download the ISO here.

    Finally, the stage 1 Linux image is customizable for your environment  - download the tools here: vPro Expert Center.

    Hi!

    All these years I always hear how wonderful vPro / AMT is. Now as a small business customers I am looking for a simple way to receive e-mail alerts, e.g. as soon as a system fan of an vPro PC or AMT enabled server fails. So far I have not found any such program. Is their any such software available without having to spend a lot of money for some overkill enterprise monitoring solution?

    Thanks in advance.

    Problems integrating Open MDTK 1.28

    $

    Hi!

    I'd like to integrate Open MDTK into one of our company applications. I generated the "Manageability Stack.dll" from the Source and added it into my C# application. I then tried to connect to the system and get the current power state with this code:

    AmtSystem sys = new AmtSystem(this.__Hostname, 16992, this.__Username, this.__Password, false, false);
    
    System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("[AMT] Connecting to " + sys.HostName);
    sys.Connect();
    while (sys.State == AmtSystemObjState.Connecting)
    {
    }
    if (sys.State == AmtSystemObjState.Connected)
    {
    	System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("[AMT] Connected!");
    	this.__Response = sys.Remote.GetSystemPowerState().ToString();
    	sys.Disconnect();
    }
    else
    {
    	this.__Response = "Error on connect;";
    }

    But the code never enters the connected state. And the strange thing, if I run the code in Release, I get a ton of these (with different field names, sorry for the German):

    Eine Ausnahme (erste Chance) des Typs "Intel.Manageability.Exceptions.CimPropertyException" ist in Manageability Stack.dll aufgetreten.
    In Intel.Manageability.Exceptions.CimPropertyException ist eine Ausnahme vom Typ "Manageability Stack.dll" aufgetreten, doch wurde diese im Benutzercode nicht verarbeitet.
    Zusätzliche Informationen: Logic error:
    no such field name: DDNSPeriodicUpdateInterval

    The code breaks @CimData.cs in GetField(). I guess it has something to do with the asset management.

    What am I doing wrong? The binary software from the installer works, so it has to be my code. Am I missing an assembly?

    Kind Regards,
    Christian

    Hi.  We have an Intel S1200BT based system and we are unable to access Intel AMT on TCP ports 16992 or 16993.  We're able to access the BMC web interface on port 80, use the Java based remote console (port 7578), perform IPMI requests, and access the SMASH-CLP console, but for some reason AMT seems to have its WS-Management ports disabled?  A basic telnet connection attempt to ports 16992 and 16993 results in "Connection refused".

    This system is in a hosted environment and we've never physically seen or configured it.  Is it possible the hosting provider has not configured AMT correctly?  What is required to enable Intel AMT?

    Thanks in advance.
