Autoregistration with PSK fails...

[TonyTheTiger]

Im trying to setup Autoregistration with PSK on Zabbix for Windows, but Autoregistration keeps failing as soon as i enable PSK.
I have setup PSK under "Administration/General/Autoregistration"

Adding hosts with Autoregistration works fine without PSK.
Adding a host manually with PSK works fine.

On my Client side this is what i have.

zabbix_agentd.conf looks like this:
# This is a configuration file for Zabbix agent service (Windows)
# To get more information about Zabbix, visit http://www.zabbix.com
LogFile=C:\Program Files\Zabbix Agent\zabbix_agentd.log
Server=11.11.11.11
Hostname=ADFS-server01
TLSConnect=psk
TLSAccept=psk
TLSPSKIdentity=ElevenPSK
TLSPSKFile=C:\Program Files\Zabbix Agent\psk.key

This is what i see in the logs.

zabbix_agentd.log looks like this:

Any HELP would be greatly appreciated!!!

Ps. First time Zabbix setup, so be gentle... plz

Conditions: Host metadata contains windows

You don't have any metadata configuration in your agent, so your autoregistration action cannot match.

Suggested way to proceed:

1. Stop the agent
2. Delete the host in Zabbix
3. Add HostMetadata=windows in the agent configuration
4. Start the agent

Autoregistration needs an active agent, meaning ServerActive configuration in the agent.

Ohhh, i misunderstood that article as being about the active agent as in "Zabbix agent 2"...
ill try that tomorrow when im back at work, thx...

Arghhh.... Still dosn't work...
I now added the "ServerActive=11.11.11.11" to my conf file on the client but now i just get another error, now my log file looks like this:

My server has a Autoregistration actions configured looking like this:

Configuration/Actions/Autoregistration actions:
Name: Windows Server AutoReg
Conditions: Host metadata contains windows
Operations: Add to host groups: Windows Servers
Link to templates: Windows by Zabbix agent


What i don't get is from the log file if i understand it right the request to the server works fine, but the server answer back to the client that it has no host that correspond with the name PATCH01-DRIFT, but isn't that how it should be as what im trying to do is asking the server to make that host on it self?
Or did i misunderstand something?

Again, any HELP would be greatly appreciated!!!
