Available for NS7

The purpose of this RPM is to create a rpm of the latest glpi version (>= 9.5.5) that is not available in EPEL. The last version of GLPI needs a version of php and mariadb not available in NS7 so we need to use nethserver-rh-mariadb105 and nethserver-rh-php73-fpm as dependencies.

GLPI is the Information Resource-Manager with an additional Administration- Interface. You can use it to build up a database with an inventory for your company (computer, software, printers…). It has enhanced functions to make the daily life for the administrators easier, like a job-tracking-system with mail-notification and methods to build a database with basic information about your network-topology.

The principal functionalities of the application are :

1) the precise inventory of all the technical resources. All their characteristics will be stored in a database.

2) management and the history of the maintenance actions and the bound procedures. This application is dynamic and is directly connected to the users who can post requests to the technicians. An interface thus authorizes the latter with if required preventing the service of maintenance and indexing a problem encountered with one of the technical resources to which they have access.

GLPI can be connected with a software agent like fusion inventory or ocs inventory

1-You need to install my repository, see how to do it

2- remove glpi if it is installed

rpm -e --nodeps glpi nethserver-glpi

To install glpi 10

rpm -e --nodeps nethserver-glpi-latest

3-You can install glpi

yum install nethserver-glpi-latest

To install glpi 10

yum install nethserver-glpi-10-latest

go to https://IP/glpi

once installed you have some default users

Default logins / passwords are:

• glpi/glpi for the administrator account
• tech/tech for the technician account
• normal/normal for the normal account
• post-only/postonly for the postonly account

config show glpi 
  glpi=configuration
    Name=glpi    #Change the web alias eg https://IP/othername
    access=private     #restrict the web access to private or public
    status=enabled     #Enabled or disabled the glpi web access

Example

config setprop glpi access public

After a change you must use the event

signal-event nethserver-glpi-latest-update

The config file is in /etc/httpd/conf.d/glpi.conf

The logo image file for the initial login page is located at /usr/share/glpi/pics/login_glpi.png

Please read the user documentation and the system administrator guide, this software must be configured for your needs.

Glpi can authenticate users from the mysl database but also with an email server (with imap/pop) or with a LDAP server.

The following example allows to connect to the samba AD containers of the NethServer. You have a documentation from the project, but in French

You must adapt the filter following your needs, below some examples

Connexion filter (all users) : (&(objectClass=user)(objectCategory=person))
Connexion filter (all enabled users) :(&(objectClass=user)(objectCategory=person)(!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)))

You can authenticate a user through an imap or pop credentials, this authentication method is simplest and you cannot do a mass importation of users. If the credentials are true for the mail server, then the user is allowed to use GLPI.

GLPI needs the latest mariadb available hence it use mariadb 10.5, to connect to the database you must use a linux socket or the port 8105 with the user glpi. It is a specific server instance, there is only the glpi database running on it, the backup of that database is integrated to pre-backup-data and post-restore-data

/opt/rh/rh-mariadb105/root/bin/mysql --socket=/run/rh-mariadb105-mariadb/glpi-mysql.sock 

or

/opt/rh/rh-mariadb105/root/bin/mysql -h127.0.0.1 -P8105 -uglpi -p$(cat /var/lib/nethserver/secrets/glpi)

Glpi comes now with a console that you use to debug and check the health of glpi : see the documentation

[root@ns7loc13 ~]# /opt/rh/rh-php73/root/bin/php /usr/share/glpi/bin/console
