@smartkid808 Oh dear... On a safe network, you can run "node meshcentral --user [username]", quickly clean things up and start the server again.

To clarify, when you say "You can't login" - You try to login and are stuck at the "Login token" screen? You only have Google Authenticator setup before? Any more details appreciated.

Just published MeshCentral v0.2.7-p with improved support for hardware keys. Now supports U2F (need browser support) and OTP (USB key acts as a keyboard). Much better than yesterday's version. New blog here.

@FATeknollogee (Auto-update broken) There was a few versions a month back where auto-update was broken. Otherwise, MeshCentral has to be running in a way that allows it to write it's own files. This said, it auto-update should generally work - If it does not consistently and it should, file a issue on GitHub.

Published v0.2.7-o with support for Yubikey's, USB authentication keys. Probably more fixes to do, but it seems to work.

FYI. On latest version of MeshCentral, if you enable 2 factor authentication you also get the option to generate and use one-time tokens now. Good backup in case you drop your phone.

Latest blog on MeshCentral: https://meshcentral2.blogspot.com/2019/01/meshcentral2-os-support-browser-tabs.html. Lots of improvements, but obviously, still a lot more to do. If you don't want to read it all, just look at the pictures

@JaredBusch Just released MeshCentral v0.2.7-b, you can now hold SHIFT and click on a device to open it in a different tab on the browser. Also, many more bug fixes.

@scottalanmiller I think RDP support on Linux would be possible if I added Guacamole within MeshCentral. Even on Windows, ClickOnce is not friendly, causes anti-virus warnings and may go away.

@scottalanmiller 0.2.6-k fixes a nasty bug in the MeshAgent that caused data corruption when lots of data was flowing at a high rate. The big deal about that release is that you can now do RDP over the Internet using the ClickOnce application. You need Windows on both sides to do it + Use IE or a ClickOnce add-in for FireFox/Chrome. Hit the "RDP" link at the bottom of a device page to trigger it.

MeshCentral trick: Set a session secret in the config.json like this:

{
  "settings": {
    "SessionTime": 60,
    "SessionKey": "MyReallySecretPassword"
  }
}

This way, when the server restarts/updates, you don't need to log back in each time. By default, the session secret is generated on server start so everyone needs to login again because browser cookies can't be decoded anymore.

Published Meshcentral v0.2.6-j with support for two-factor login using Google Authentication or any compatible app. Also, if an SMTP server is setup, the server will now require email verification before you can create a device group. This way, users don't start adding devices without a password recovery option. Lastly, did a bunch of improvements when the server is running with Windows domain authentication.

@manxam Yes, the old Meshv1 had 2 files. With MeshCentral v2 we got the policy file added inside the Windows executable without breaking the authenticode signature. So, just the one exe now.

@scottalanmiller I think you will notice the much faster start time of the agents on smaller devices.

Just posted a blog on latest MeshCentral news. One thing I wanted to do for a while now is document the internals of MeshCentral. You may need for technical competence, but the first version of the document is here. - Enjoy.

@scottalanmiller With Windows IoT the kernel is a bit different, but it's possible we could support it. The main issue we got in the past was that we had to strip out a lot of agent features to make it work. Really no way we could with WinCE, it's too insane to get the development tools and do that work for that one.

@syko24 For SMTP setup. When the server is started, it will perform a check of the SMTP server to make sure it's working. When running the server manually you should see the line "SMTP mail server... working as expected". If not, you should see an error. Can you try and report back what you see? - Thanks.

@bnrstnr No WinCE support in MeshCentral. People still use that? I have not used WinCE since my last Nav system in my old car and my HP PocketPC a long time ago.

@StuartJordan Just fixed that problem. Published v0.2.5-m a few minutes ago.

@scottalanmiller Script... or set "SelfUpdate" to true in settings section of MeshCentral's config.json. It's supposed to update sometime between midnight and 1am, but I got to check that code again. I may be updating in UTC time or something.

"settings": {
  "SelfUpdate": true
},

@FATeknollogee Is it not possible MeshCentral is being run twice? If port 80, 443 and 4433 are already taken by one instance of MeshCentral, running it again will take ports 81, 444 and 4434.
