WAPT 2.5.2 released: What features does it offer?
Security reinforcement
Performance optimization
Security is central to the objectives of version 2.5.2.
To this end, SSL authentication of the client is now configured by default. This measure reinforces server security by protecting API points. This change has the added benefit of simplifying WAPT installation and configuration.
Bandwidth and processor power are precious resources, and version WAPT 2.5.2 tackles their optimal use. Downloading inventory updates from the agent to the server is now more atomic, reducing unnecessary consumption. The aim is to improve overall operational efficiency for large fleets.
Main updates
Default client certificates
In this version, WAPT is configured by default to work with client certificates. It is no longer necessary to activate “verify_cert” as in previous versions. This simplification brings a clear gain in terms of ease of use and enhanced security.
Websocket protocol update
When updating to 2.5.2, it is important to note that the websocket protocol becomes incompatible with WAPT version 2.4. This will result in a “DISCONNECTED” period during the WAPT agent update. This update is performed automatically within two hours of being assigned to all computers.
End of support for filtering reverse proxies
The new version of WAPT does not support reverse proxies (WAFs) performing TLS interception or TLS termination. If a reverse proxy is used in front of the WAPT server, it must be configured as a simple TLS transfer proxy based on SNI (Server Name Indication).
Dark mode and Graphic reporting
The dark mode (dark mode) is now supported on Linux and macOS, offering an alternative visual experience.
In addition, WAPT introduces native graphical reporting capabilities. Users can create pie charts (see image below) based on selected data directly in all console grids.
For more advanced visualization needs, the Grafana solution remains a recommended option, with the option of contacting Comitari for personalized advice.
Some fleet administration features
WAPT 2.5.2 now offers some basic fleet administrative management functionalities that combine well with operational management, WAPT’s strong point.
Customized audit information, such as purchase, expiry and warranty dates, can now be entered into the WAPT database, facilitating the supervision and monitoring of IT assets.
In conclusion, WAPT version 2.5.2 represents a significant advance in the field of IT asset management. With its commitment to security, optimized performance and new features, WAPT continues to position itself as the solution of choice for companies looking to streamline their IT operations.
