[wpkg-users] Service "wpkgserver" is stopped

Hello,

i could be wrong because im totally swamped with other stuff right now 
but as far as i can remember you can't deploy a crypted password. 
Because password are encrypted based on the user and the system. even if 
you deploy it to a machine running the same system image it would be 
different. Because of this its not possible for wpkg-gp to decrypt the 
password correctly.

Your problem is now that you are not able to safely deploy it to all the 
systems because the script would be on every system readable by every user?

never faced this problem sadly. After we setup new workstations we do 
the first run of wpkg manually which then installs wpkg-gp through wpkg 
and encrypt the password after the service first started (after 
installation).


Maybe store the script on a temporary share and not locally? i bet 
someone else has a better idea tho.

Best Regards,

Nils
