Mremoteng: ERROR- Couldn't save connections file! Decryption failed. {0}

Concerns :

OS ver : Windows Server 2008R2 
mRemoteNG ver : 1.75.7010.21169

Happy after seeing that this bug has been fixed ( #529 ), I've started to installing today newest version of mRemoteNG, unfortunately I have this kind of issue below :

The mRemoteNG.log doesn't seem to handle any additional info :

On my last installation ( 1.75.7008.17907 ) everything worked like a charm.

Second issue I've noticed so far ( dunno if I can paste it here in other issue :) ). When I use option "Collapse all folders" list - this happens.

Restart of mRemoteNG is needed in this case.

PS. Where Can I find version 7009 to check if the same happens ?

Hi peanek,
I have the same problem, With both v1.75.7010 and PreRelease 1.75.7011.
Did you find the old version yet?

Thanks,
Alex

Hello Alex ,

All releases are available on : https://github.com/mRemoteNG/mRemoteNG/releases/

But I haven't tested 1.75.7009 till now...

Anyone know if there was some change in authentication type to SQL in version > 1.75.7008 of mRemote ?

I forgot to mention, my SQL ver is : Microsoft SQL Server 2014 - 12.0.2000.8 (x64)
Nothing has changed from the beginning of using mRemote ( more than few versions till now)

[peanek]

So , 1.75.7009.27822 portable is the same. Something has been changed in SQL authentication after this update ?

[AlexBarnas]

Maybe.
Im using Microsoft SQL Server 2014 - 12.0.5207.0 (x64)

Same "Couldn't save connections file! Decryption failed. {0}" error message on SQL Server 2016 (SP1) 13.0.4001.0 (x64) after updating to 7010 build.

I've found where the issue was and have fixed it. A fix will be released with 1.75.7011 in the next day or so

[tomerMP]

I had the same issue. Found this thread, downloaded and installed 1.75.7011, and the issue is no longer...
Thanks for the quick fix!!

PS - It also seems to have solved another (possibly related) issue where mRemote wouldn't load the contents of connection files I attempted to open. Obviously this was not simultaneous to SQL connection. Both seem to be solved by this version 1.75.7011.

Thanks

I'm running version 1.75.7011.26523 and I still have the "Couldn't save connection file! Decryption Failed. {0} error message when trying to make changes.

Guys, sparerd wrote that he found bug in encryption options few posts ago and will release fix in updated 1.75.7011 in days. So - be patient.

[sparerd]

v1.75.7011 has been released.
https://github.com/mRemoteNG/mRemoteNG/releases/tag/v1.75.7011

You may need to delete your user.config file if you are still seeing decryption failures
