Install the Apache SSL components:

A server.crt file is automatically created for your server in /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt. That file needs to be copied to C:\Program Files\OCS Inventory Agent\cacert.pem. A login script that will do that is:

@echo off
REM Check if CA file exists
if exist "C:\Program Files\OCS Inventory Agent\cacert.pem" goto CA_END
REM CA file does not exist, install it


The Windows agent can be downloaded from here.

Once downloaded, unzip the archive. Then run the OcsAgentSetup program. The installer allows you to specify your server options and then installs the agent as a Windows service.

I noticed that the agent doesn't necessarily contact the server right away - it seems to wait until the machine's scheduled update time, which could be hours from when you install it. Force the agent to contact the server right away with:




The OS X client is availabel from Codejanitor

The packaged installer can be downloaded here, however it has the server IP hardcoded into it. You'll have to edit /etc/ocsinventory-client/ocsinv.conf with your server address.

Download the latest agent from the OSC Inventory NG website:

The agent requires a variety of Perl modules. On a RedHat/Fedora distro, you might be able to install them with:

yum install perl-XML-Simple
yum install perl-Compress-Zlib
yum install perl-Net-IP
yum install perl-LWP
yum install perl-Digest-MD5
yum install perl-Net-SSLeay


OCS Inventory NG has client agents for variety of operating systems including Microsoft Windows, Linux, *BSD, Sun Solaris, IBM AIX, HP-UX and MacOS X.

The MacOS X client doesn't support package deployment like the Windows and Linux clients do, but that's ok - Apple Remote Desktop can do that.

Open your favorite web browser and point it on URL “http://administration_console/ocsreports” to connect the Administration server. Unless you screwed something up, you should be able to connect to it.

On this machine, with MySQL installed with yum and nothing modified, the login information was:

Ensure MySQL InnoDB engine is activated on your database server. Open /etc/my.cnf and ensure there is no ligne “skip-innodb” or this line is commented (begins with ‘#’)

Download the source tarball:

Run the setup program:

Not necessary with CentOS 5.x

CentOS Installation
For the server, I used Centos 4.4 as it has a single server-only install CD. For simplicity, I used the "minimal" package configuration option. After CentOS has installed and you've rebooted the machine, update what's there:

Then start installing the software we'll need for OCS Inventory-NG:
