****For lazy people or new on Linux I suggest installing mc instead if vim for editing files, it is also good file manager
sudo apt-get install mc
Change Options>Config>UseInternalEditor>save
sudo mc (find file and use F4 for edit, F2 for save file) }
Connecting Agents
Agents must be installed with version < or = OCSserver version, for example for XAMPP on Windows OCSserver2.2 must use Agent 2.1.1.1
For presented in this Tutorial Linux OCSserver 2.4 must use Agent 2.3.1.1(is highest aviable at the moment) or below.
Installation of Agents on windows I use default settings, just uncheck field Validate certificates, Of course if choose it to be checked must generate certificate on OCSserwer and place it to a Agent config Folder (on windows 10 it is C:\ProgramData\OCS Inventory NG)
User and Password on Agent not need be used for simple HTTP connection, just ensure you entered right IP Your_server_IP:80(standard port for http)
