Wayk Now/Den and Macs

Disabled

Published 6 years ago

so we recently had a customer with a Mac and there were a few things we noticed.
1) the options window resizes all the time when switching categories, making it kinda annoying to control.
2) SRP cannot be disabled
3) cannot register to Wayk den (and therefore cannot group
4) ever since that mac is part of the den, the servers and clients page dont work anymore with both sites throwing this stacktrace:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'toLowerCase' of undefined

according to a little bit of poking around the browser dev panel it cannot extract the OS name for whatever reason from the wayk useragent:

"WaykNow/2020.2.0 (macOS; 10.13.6 17G14019)"

Hi My1

Thanks for the feedback. To take your points one by one:

1) Yes, this is annoying - it's already been fixed internally and will be in the next release
2) Yes, this was an oversight / lagging feature on macOS - that's also already fixed internally and will be in the next release
3) Machine registration will be available alongside unattended access
4) That's strange - I'll raise it with the web team and post back here

For your information, the 2020.2.1 is being prepared currently for an imminent release - I'll post back here with an update on that. macOS unattended access is reaching a late stage of development - I don't have a timeframe for it but you can expect news here before the end of the summer.

Thanks and kind regards,

Richard Markievicz

Hello again

Regarding point #4, we have a similar issue here. Can you verify if you have the latest Den version?

Thanks and kind regards,

dunno what the latest are...
but sure I'll run some updates (also is there maybe a chance of getting auto updates someday? (or at least an info if an update is available in the GUI)

Den Server Image
devolutions/den-server:2.4.0-buster
Den Picky Image
devolutions/picky:4.5.0-buster
Den Lucid Image
devolutions/den-lucid:3.7.2-buster
Traefik Image
library/traefik:1.7
Mongo Image
library/mongo:4.2-bionic

regarding registration and unattended, how are these even connected, I mean I always could SRD into a machine that isnt registered for unattended or anything, registration only seemed to:
a) on default den: add the machine to the dashboard
b) on custom den: make the machine groupable, which is quite nice for organization in all kinds of ways.

also talking about unattended, SRD should really be able to be switched off (ideally even by default) as (from my experience) many dont have secure passwords on their accounts if any at all, as they dont need any bonkers security (and the certainly would never expect their acc password to be able to let them in remotely)
nothing against SRD itself but the fact it relies on the OS accounts being properly secured makes it far from good especially for older people (of which we have no shortage in our clientbase)

Edit: ran Update-WaykDen twice and no new versions.
Edit 2: one reboot later and it works. apparently the cmdlet doesnt apply immediately after updating that.
