After the assimilation over this dialog you can administrate existing Debian systems with m23. The client must be started up completely and reachable over the network for smooth assimilation. Now you have to enter only three values:
- Client name: This is the name the client should be known by the m23 server. It is advised, but not required to enter the hostname of the client.
- IP Address: This is the (temporary) IP address of the client
- Name of the Ubuntu user (only for assimilating Ubuntu systems. Keep empty for Debian): Enter here a username that is known to the system and that is allowed to log in via SSH and execute commands via sudo as root with the same password. This is only needed on computers installed with Ubuntu or with disabled root logins.
- Root password or password of the Ubuntu user: This is the current root password of the client or the user password on Ubuntu systems. You can leave empty this field too if you prefer manual intergration.
The client uses a dynamically assigned IP (DHCP): Make a check at this option if the system you would like to integrate is retrieving its network settings via DHCP
Click on ”Assimilate” afterwards. The assimilation is done in the background.
