Hello Richard,

I just upgraded, but the situation seems even worse. Some of the user can login and some get the "password invalid", same as before, but now I cannot login anymore with "wayk-admin", I get the error you see in the attached image.
I forgot to mention that I am running Wayk Bastion on Windows Server 2019.

Hello Diego,

I'm sorry to hear that. We will help you with that. First, could you send us your server logs. You can run these 2 commands :

> docker logs den-server > den-server.log
> docker logs den-lucid > den-lucid.log

After, you can send me the 2 logs file. I will have a look and try to understand what is going on.

Best regards,

Hi Francois,

I sent you a DM.

Hi,

Here is a conclusion of what we found after many exchanges in case it could help others.

You can validate which version are installed with the command Get-Module WaykBastion -ListAvailable -All Depending how you installed and update the powershell module, you can have module in Users folder or Program Files folder. Here is an example of what you could have, version 2020.3.4 in Users folder and 2021.1.0 in Program Files folder :

PS C:\Users\wayk-admin> Get-Module WaykBastion -ListAvailable -All


    Directory: C:\Users\wayk-admin\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules

No version should be installed in a user folder. In the previous example, version 2020.3.4 is installed in the user folder and 2021.1.0 is installed in Program Files folder. It means that depending how you start the Wayk-Bastion, it will launch a different version. If you use the Windows Service, it will launch 2021.1.0 since the service use the Program Files folder. If you launch it with your user 'wayk-admin', it will launch 2020.3.4.

To avoid such situation :
#1 - Always open powershell as Administrator (elevated mode)
#2 - Always install the powershell module with the parameter -Scope AllUsers

> Install-Module -Name WaykBastion -Scope AllUsers

It will force the installation in Program Files folder.
#3 - If you have version installed in your user folder, you can uninstall them with that command

> Uninstall-Module -Name WaykBastion -AllVersions

If you are not sure of your installation and you have issue with that, don't hesitate to contact us, it will be a pleasure to help you.
