RadMacLab software allows the identification of Macintosh computers using the MAC address, making it easier to manage them with Radmind. This software helps simplify device management processes with its targeted functionality.
The module is short for Radmind Macintosh Administrator, or Radmind Mac Address Lab Administrator. Its purpose is to identify machines via their mac addresses, set machine IP information, and name machines individually. It is a functionality that existed with Assimilator but was lacking in many lab administrators' workflow.
RadMacLab has two components: the server component, which uses PHP and mysql on Apache, and the client component, consisting of two shell scripts written in PHP. These scripts could also be easily written in another shell script if needed.
It is important to note that this system requires SSL certificates for Radmind, which must be created by the user. RadMacLab does not automate or assist in creating SSL certificates. To use RadMacLab effectively, it is crucial to run radmind with "-w 2", which authenticates both client and server. If you require more documentation on this, please consult the TLS cookbook in the radmind documentation section.
To summarize, RadMacLab is a powerful and efficient management module for macintosh computers. With its centralized database, it simplifies the process of identifying and managing machines. It requires SSL certificates to function correctly, which the user needs to create beforehand. Overall, it is an essential tool for lab administrators looking to streamline their workflow.
