Windows Terminal Server 2008 R2 SP1 and 1password 6 Beta.

XuMEPA

Hi!
My English is awful, forgive me.
We want to use 1Password on Terminal Server 2008R2 SP1. We want to use 1Password for teams. Yesterday I've installed 1Password 6 Beta for Windows and update it to version 6.0.183. Today in the morning I've run 1Password on terminal and Program propose me update it to version 6.0.184. I've pressed update but then I've thought that this is bad idea, if update requires reboot all users will be disconnected, so when windows UAC asked me to run .msi file I've pressed cancel. After that when next user that have tried to run 1Password from Start button have seen next screen.

But when user start application from installed folder C:\Program Files (x86)\1Password 6\AgileBits.OnePassword.Desktop.exe program crashed.

When I've closed my copy of the program, other user can start program from installed folder normally.

I am disappointed. I have a few questions.
1)Is it possible to use 1Password 6 Beta on terminal?
2)What limit for users numbers? https://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/64990/terminal-server-support - here I found that limit for 1Password 4 is 10. Will this number increased?

Hi @XuMEPA,

Thanks for writing in and your English is fine.

1Password 6 Beta is a beta program, which is why it is in the Windows Beta forum.

Would it be possible to get the logs from that crash, so we can see why it crashed? We suspect someone else updated 1Password at the same time and that caused the crash, canceling the install should revert back to the previous install. We'll test this and see if we can reproduce it.

You can get the logs from Event Viewer, use Custom View > Administrative Events and sort it by date, try to go back to the time that you recall seeing 1Password crash due to the cancellation.

Is it possible to use 1Password 6 Beta on terminal?

1Password 6 Beta hasn't been officially tested on servers, it is only tested against client OSes.

During the initial install, we do provide two options for installing 1Password 6, everyone or local. I suspect if you configure it to be local, it will work individually for each user. This would also mean the updates will work separately.

2)What limit for users numbers? https://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/64990/terminal-server-support - here I found that limit for 1Password 4 is 10. Will this number increased?

To be clear, there is no limit on how many users can use 1Password on your server but there is a limit of how many concurrent users can use the 1Password browser extensions.

The limit of 10 users is correct for the extensions, it is the range of ports we have available for the extension to connect to localhost. Because it is on the server, the localhost is the same for all users and we only have ten ports to share.

We have some ideas on how to work around this for the future but due to how extensive the change it might be, it won't be a quick wait. We do apologize about this.

Hi @MikeT!
Thank you for your answer.

When I've installed 1Password 6 Beta version 6.0.173, I didn't see option that let me choose local or everyone installation. Did you add this option in latest release? Can I use 1Password 4 instead 6 Beta for 1Password Teams?

;@XuMEPA: Like most setup screens, it's easy to just click through without looking:

Just reinstall the app for each user account and choose "Just me". I hope this helps! :)

XuMEPA

Hi @brenty !
Thank you for your advise. I will try reinstall today.

@XuMEPA just a heads up, there is a fresh fix to allow multiple users on terminal services to run app concurrently. It should be out with next update, which i hope to be able to do soon.

I'm very glad to hear it.

Can I somehow make an automatic install app with "Just me" option using group policies etc. ?

@XuMEPA unfortunately, this isn't a default you configure on your own, but something we'd need to change in the install package.

SergeyTheAgile

@XuMEPA while I don't have complete solution right now, I can give you a hint where to look for

msiexec /i AgileBits.OnePassword.Desktop.msi MSIINSTALLPERUSER=1 ALLUSERS=2

that will open setup with "Just me" selected

Here you can find more details about available properties and more details about command line opitons.

I didn't test yet, but I believe you can do something like msiexec /passive /i AgileBits.OnePassword.Desktop.msi MSIINSTALLPERUSER=1 ALLUSERS=2 or /quiet instead of /passive

XuMEPA

Thank you guys for your advices. I will try and post results here.

Hi @XuMEPA,

Keep in mind that you need the next update (185d) for the concurrent users issue, so you might experience some crashes at the moment if there are multiple concurrent users using the same app.

XuMEPA

Hi guys!
Is limit of 10 concurrent users in browser extension persist?
Today I've tried to connect more than 10 users, but eleventh user can't connect app and browser extension.

MikeT

Hi @XuMEPA,

Yes, the original connected users have to be logged out or terminate the Helper to disconnect from the localhost ports. We only have a predefined range of ten localhost ports for the 1Password extensions.

We're hoping to avoid using the localhost ports in the near future but we don't have anything to share at the moment.

XuMEPA

Hi @MikeT!
Thank you for your answer.

MikeT

You're welcome!

XuMEPA

Hi @MikeT! Can you please tell me when you will avoid localhost ports limitation in 1password extension? I hope from October 7 you can share some information.

AGAlumB

There isn't a way for us to avoid that limitation. It's built into the current extension, so it will require something entirely different. We don't have anything to announce at this time.

XuMEPA

Hi @brenty! Thank you for your answer.

AGAlumB

You're welcome. I'm sorry I don't have better news for you now. It may be a while. We'll need to make some big changes, and probably take the opportunity to improve other things as well.
