Click `here for a PDF version `_ of the complete documentation. **WAPT is a software and configuration deployment tool** that may be compared to Microsoft :abbr:`SCCM (System Center Configuration Management)` (now called :abbr:`MECM (Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Management)`), Ivanti :abbr:`UIM (Unified Endpoint Manager)`, IBM Bigfix, Tanium, OPSI, PDQDeploy, or Matrix42. WAPT exists in two flavors, :ref:`WAPT Discovery and WAPT Enterprise `. ############# Main benefits ############# **For System Administrators**: * Install software and configurations silently. * Maintain up to date an installed base of software and configurations. * Configure software at the system and user level to reduce the load on support teams. * Remove unwanted or out of cycle software and configurations silently. * Reduce your need for support by your IT teams, whose reaction times are often long because of their workloads. * Reduce as much as possible the consumption of bandwidth on remote sites to preserve it for productive uses. **For IT Security Officers** * Pilot the software installed base to converge to a security standard acceptable to the organization. * Prepare your enterprise for the coming `GDPR `_ and help your DPO keep his register of data processing, because you two will become close colleagues. * No longer tolerate machines operating in *Administrator* mode. * No longer tolerate users downloading and running software binaries from their home directory. * Start applying :abbr:`SRPs (Software Restriction Policies)`, also known as *Applocker* or :abbr:`WDAC (Windows Defender Application Control)` to improve application level IT security. * Reduce the level of exposure to software vulnerabilities and `lateral movement attacks `_. * Bring up audit indicators for a better knowledge of the state of installed IT devices and their global security level. * Be prompt to deploy updates to react to cyber attacks like `Wannacry `_ or `notPetya `_. **For End-Users** * Have installed software configured to work well in the context of your Organization and trust that they will work correctly. * Give :term:`Users` more autonomy to install software safely and reliably. * Have better working and more predictable professional systems because of standard software configurations. .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :caption: Presenting WAPT wapt-concept.rst wapt-enterprise.rst .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :caption: Installing WAPT install-requirements.rst install-debian.rst install-ubuntu.rst install-centos.rst install-windows.rst .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :caption: Basic WAPT configuration wapt-configuration.rst .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :caption: Advanced WAPT configuration wapt-advanced-configuration.rst wapt-replication.rst wapt-security.rst .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :caption: Upgrading WAPT server waptserver-update.rst .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :caption: Backing up the WAPT Server waptserver-backup.rst waptserver-restoring.rst .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :caption: Uninstalling the WAPT agent wapt-remove-agent.rst .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :caption: How to use WAPT? wapt-usage.rst wapt-console-usage.rst wapt-console-usage-advanced.rst wapt-usage-advanced.rst wapt-command-line-interface.rst .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :caption: Creating WAPT packages wapt-create-packages.rst .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :caption: The WAPT console in detail wapt-console-detailed.rst .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :caption: Enhancing your productivity with WAPT wapt-use-cases.rst .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :caption: Frequent problems and questions wapt-common-problems-and-questions.rst install-waptserver-with-ansible.rst .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 :caption: Using the WAPT server APIs wapt-api.rst .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 :caption: Appendix tranquil-it-contacts.rst wapt-glossary.rst wapt-security-principles.rst wapt-software-best-practices.rst wapt-release-strategy.rst wapt-security-bulletin.rst wapt-changelog.rst wapt-license.rst wapt-license-3rd-party.rst
