@bmfmancini, if you can update lib/api_device.php and include/global.php and test again. The remote_agent.php was being denied a session due to a setting in global.php, which caused this error.

Hey Larry so far this is looking good in the Lab no errors popping up however my lab only has a few devices so not a large scale
would this only come up under a certain condition on my lab v1.2.12 before the update was applied I ran autom8 no backtrace errors came up

However I still went ahead and applied the new commits just to make sure nothing else broke

I will apply this to our production system soon which is where I saw the original issue

Thanks !

[bmfmancini]

This looks good as well!

Thanks
