Meshcentral: Router: Quick mapping buttons grayed out?

[MordyT]

Not sure when this started. Mesh Router related.
Mesh: 0.5.49

All the "RDP", "HTTP", "SSH" quick buttons are grayed out. However, you can do a map manually with no issue.

@Ylianst - possibly is related to last post in #1309 ?!?!?!

@MordyT - I have the same issue, not sure what your setup is.

[MordyT]

@vitko-bg Maybe. I have (in each domain) a user in the managealldevicegroups that is local to mesh and in the primary domain I have both a local user and a SSO user there.

No users (admins, local, SSO, etc) have the quicklinks working.

[Ylianst]

The buttons are normally grayed out when your account does not have "Remote Control" rights to the devices. That is the permission required to perform traffic forwarding. If you have some detail as to how the permissions are granted (thru a user group?) I will debug this.

[MordyT]

The account is a member of a user group. That user group is a full administrator on a mesh device group.

If I manually add a specific user to a specific device as Remote Control, the button lights up right away.

[Ylianst]

Excellent, I see the same problem now. Working on it.

[Ylianst]

Ok, fixed it. Will be in the next version of MeshCentral, however since the problem is with the MeshCentral Router only, you can get the latest version here.

@Ylianst your link to meschcentral router is incorrect, this one is working http://info.meshcentral.com/downloads/MeshCentral2/MeshCentralRouter.exe

[Ylianst]

Thanks @peteranv, fixed my link.

[MordyT]

New router does fix the buttons grayed out. However, I'm facing an issue on some PCs (even with old router) where the router can launch normally, but when launched from the webapp we get this error. Only on some machines - is there a dependency missing on those machines?

[Ylianst]

Thanks for the report. I am pretty sure I found the problem and fixed it, you can try the latest MeshCentral Router here. Let me know if it works. The updated MeshCentral Router will be in the next version of MeshCentral v0.5.51 when it comes out.

[MordyT]

@Ylianst
Progress. Login works, but clicking the RDP icon crashes it with a similar message (Invalid URI: The hostname could not be parsed).

Strange how it works well on some of our PCs and others have this error.

[Ylianst]

One more version of MeshCentral Router here. This one should fix the Invalid URI exception, let me know if it works.

[MordyT]

Tried the latest version, I'm still getting this when clicking the RDP button:

I have another user who reported getting this when trying any RDP from router:

[Ylianst]

HA!! Ok, I see the problem now. Thanks for posting the details, will work on this.

[Ylianst]

I just did a quick, end of day fix... new MeshCentral Router is here. Let me know if it works now.

[MordyT]

@Ylianst My team is telling me that the newest version has fixed all reported issues. I'll close this for now and let you know if the issue returns.

THANK YOU!
