Upload Inventory to FlexeraOne without using a Beacon
Hi,
just wanted to ask if someone ever tried to upload .ndi files directly to FlexeraOne without using a beacon?
So basically something like this:
FlexNet Agent generates inventory -> ndupload.exe uploads generated .ndi file to https://data.flexnetmanager.eu/ManagesoftRL
Has anyone experience with this?
Best regards,
Max
The agent will fail to upload directly to Flexera One. It has to go through the beacon as the beacon has the authentication settings needed for Flexera One to accept the file.
Where are the the auth-settings stored? Is it the UUID of the beacon and the encrypted password?
Kind regards,
Max

________________________________Yes, the authentication settings are contained in the config for the beacon and then stored in the registry. While it is possible to configure the agent to use authentication, it is not possible to configure it to use the beacon authentication as you also have to decrypt the password.
So can you confirm that the authentication from beacon to F1 is based on username(UUID of the beacon) & (encrypted) password?
Kind regards,
Max

________________________________Yes, that is how the beacon authenticates to Flexera One
