ocsinventory-agent [2.2] SSL Error

Question

I'm in the process of setting up a Linux Mint Sara workstation and am trying to install the OCS Inventory Agent.  I was using 2.11 but was getting the below error:

[Wed Jul 13 13:15:11 2016][error] Cannot establish communication : 500 SSL_verify_mode must be a number and not a string

My ocsinventory.conf contains:

ca=/etc/ocsinventory/cacert.pem
logfile=/var/log/ocsinventory-agent/ocs.log
server=https://theocsdomainhere.com/ocsinventory
debug=1
ssl=0
tag=workstationtag
basevardir=/var/lib/ocsinventory-agent

So, I grabbed 2.2 off of the website and am getting the same errors.

perl -v

This is perl 5, version 22, subversion 1 (v5.22.1)

Any suggestions would be welcome,

Doug

Hi,

If you want to use ssl inventory you have to set ssl=1 in ocsinventory-agent.cfg file, https://theocsdomainhere.com/ocsinventory url and copy the certificate of the server in /var/lib/ocsinventory-agent/https\:__theocsdomainhere.com_ocsinventory directory. Without this prerequisites ssl inventories don't run correctly.
