Is it possible to share the relay port with multiple installations?

In 5.0 we've added a hidden "ScreenConnect Router" service. To "install" it, simply go to registry HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services and copy the "ScreenConnect Relay" key to a key "ScreenConnect Router". Then it'll appear as a start-able service (reboot required?).

It's configurable in the web.config:

Code:

<configuration>
 <configSections>
  <section name="screenconnect.routing" type="Elsinore.ScreenConnect.RoutingConfigurationHandler, Elsinore.ScreenConnect.Server" />
 </configSections>
 <screenconnect.routing>
  <listenUris>
   <listenUri>tcp://+:80/</listenUri>
   <listenUri>tcp://+:443/</listenUri>
  </listenUris>
  <rules>
   <rule schemeExpression="http" actionType="issueRedirect" actionData="https://$HOST/" />
   <rule schemeExpression="ssl" actionType="forwardPayload" actionData="https://localhost:8043/" />
   <rule schemeExpression="relay" actionType="forwardPayload" actionData="https://localhost:8041/" />
  </rules>
 </screenconnect.routing>
 <location path="Host.aspx">



    * The protocol in each listenUri is ignored (tcp is just specified as kind of a dummy value)
    * You can use "schemeExpression", "hostExpression", "portExpression", "pathExpression", and "queryExpression" for filtering... They are all regular expressions
    * You can substitute $SCHEME, $HOST, $PORT, $PATH, and $QUERY into actionData
    * You will see schemes "ssl", "http" and "relay" come through (we don't know that "ssl" is "https")
    * SSL will use SNI to parse the hostname out of the client hello handshake
    * This cannot share port/ips with IIS/HTTP.SYS, but it can forward data to IIS/HTTP.SYS
    * In the case above the ScreenConnect RelayListenUri was relay://+:8041/ and the WebServerRelayListenUri was https://+:8043/
    * You'll need RelayAddressableUri and WebServerAddressableUri entries
    * Your listenUri entries will likely specify distinct IPs so you don't have to bind on all adapters
    * We use this same method for our cloud hosting, but we have dynamic rules ... and we don't do forwardPayload with HTTPS; our web servers bind to the public hostname directly on 443

Yes; to enable it, edit /etc/init.d/screenconnect and replace 7 with 0 or 15 in the line:
Code:
mono "$screenconnectPath/Bin/Elsinore.ScreenConnect.Service.exe" startservices 7 "$signalPID" "$signalNumber" >> "$logFilePath" 2>&1 </dev/null &

here is my /var/log/screenconnect

Code:

Event (2014/11/04 03:36:48.510 +00:00, ScreenConnect Router, Information): Successfully started service.


Here is my section of the routers

Code:
<configSections>
<section name="screenconnect.routing" type="Elsinore.ScreenConnect.RoutingConfigurationHandler, Elsinore.ScreenC$
</configSections>
<screenconnect.routing>
<listenUris>
<listenUri>tcp://+:80/</listenUri>
<listenUri>tcp://+:443/</listenUri>
</listenUris>
<rules>
<rule schemeExpression="http" actionType="forwardPayload" actionData="http://localhost:8040/" />
<rule schemeExpression="ssl" actionType="forwardPayload" actionData="http://localhost:8040/" />
<rule schemeExpression="relay" actionType="forwardPayload" actionData="https://localhost:8041/" />
</rules>
</screenconnect.routing>


I also have the following in web.config

Code:
<add key="WebServerAddressableUri" value="http://198.58.122.106/"></add>
  <add key="RelayAddressableUri" value="relay://198.58.122.106:443/"></add>


If I run the exact same config on a windows machine it works perfectly.

Another thing to note is that when starting the service in linux I get a lot of mono processes spawned.

I can also see that the correct ports are listening.

UserPostedImage

Also to note, I did a tcpdump on port 80 and can see the traffic coming in. I can also tcpdump port 8040 but see none of that traffic. That tells me the actual routing is not working correctly.

add this to your web.config to get some tracing:
Code:

<configuration>
  <system.diagnostics>
    <trace autoflush="true" />
    <sharedListeners>
      <add name="Listener" type="System.Diagnostics.ConsoleTraceListener" />
    </sharedListeners>
    <sources>
      <source name="Router" switchValue="All"><listeners><add name="Listener" /></listeners></source>
     </sources>
  </system.diagnostics>
...

also, this won't work:

... but it shouldn't adversely affect you because i assume you're testing the web with just http over port 80.

Yeah right now I am just trying to get port 80 working to start.

In the web.config, the configSections element has to be the first child element of the configuration element.

All right, it turns out there's a bug in mono that stops this from working. At first we thought we could just pull in a fix, but it turned out to not be that simple, so for now the router just works on Windows.

First a "shout out" to Steven Dove from ScreenConnect Support in Florida. He pointed me in the direction of this post in order to solve an issue I had brought to his attention. He was very helpful and was willing to spend the time necessary to assist with implementing this resolution in our environment. Great customer service... made me feel like the success of our business is important to the team at ScreenConnect!

Anyway, we ran into an issue this past weekend where all of the ScreenConnect services (including the new ScreenConnect Router service) terminated unexpectedly and did not restart. Thus... nothing was able to reach our ScreenConnect until the services were restarted.

After poking around through the Event Logs it appeared that the cause of the services shutdown was related to the ScreenConnect Router service. I contacted Steven through our earlier ticket to request assistance.

It turns out that Steven experienced the same thing on one of his "test" systems within a 1/2 hour of when our installation shut down:

Quote:
Thanks for the reply. Looking at the server I setup, I had the same thing happen this weekend about 20 minutes before yours. I'm going to create a new ticket and send that up to our development team to get more insight on what might have caused the problem. Please let us know if it happens again!


So... since this hidden feature was introduced here on the forum, the development team asked that I post the issue on the forum in order that it might be supported. Ok... no problem, here goes:

Anyway, this past Sunday morning I was unable to connect to our ScreenConnect portal. So, I logged into the ScreenConnect server and found that all of the ScreenConnect services were not running. It appears as if they were all terminated at 4:51am…

Here is a screenshot of an applicable section of the Application log from Event Viewer:

Also, the System log shows:

So, since it looks like the shutdown of our SC services may have had something to do with the ScreenConnect Router service I have attached the details of the above events in two .txt files in the reply to the ticket that Steven worked on for your viewing pleasure… It should be on file in the SC ticketing system.

This is the first time that this has happened, but… I just want to make sure that if something is misconfigured or there is a glitch in the “router” that we are able to resolve it so that it doesn’t happen again.

Let me know if you need any further info. Thanks for your help!

All right, we've added handling to keep it from crashing; chances are it's just a malformed header or something. That'll be in the next 5.3 prerelease.

After upgrading from 5.2.8724 to 5.3.9074 the "ScreenConnect Router" service would no longer start. Here is what I did to fix the issue:

In REGEDIT...

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ScreenConnect Router

MODIFY "ImagePath"

from: "C:\Program Files (x86)\ScreenConnect\Bin\Elsinore.ScreenConnect.Service.exe"

to: "C:\Program Files (x86)\ScreenConnect\Bin\ScreenConnect.Service.exe"

(Bottom line: remove "Elsinore.")

Hope this info is helpful to someone!

First off if it's a no no to post a reply to this since it's been so long and I need to open a new one please let me know.


So I installed ScreenConnect about a month ago on my Windows 8.1 computer and for the most part everything has been working great. I however have a few computers where it has the slowest connection in the world to when trying to use SC relay over port 8041. Not sure if that is the issue but the ScreenConnect support logged in to the computer using port 443 and it seemed to be working just fine for them. I have SSL set up with my installation and I also have all port 80 traffic redirected directly to port 443 so that if someone forgets the https they don't get a connection error. I would like to use the screenconnect router/shared relay function in order to set up the relay on 443 as well. I've tried following the instructions in this forum and every time I do it breaks my installs and I have to delete the new code I added in order to get everything working again. I also will of course need to change the current unattended clients via a remote reinstall to the new relay port and not lose them. I have about 260+ computers on unattended access right now and it would be a real big pain in the butt to have to add everyone again without just simply hitting the reinstall from directly inside of SC. Hopefully this is enough information. Please let me know if any more information is required.

Hmm, when it "breaks your installs", do you see any sort of error message? Anything ScreenConnect-related in the Windows Event Log?

You could add some tracing (mostly the same as earlier in the thread, but slightly different for Windows instead of Mono):
Code:
<configuration>
<system.diagnostics>
<trace autoflush="true" />
<sharedListeners>
<add name="Listener" type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener" initializeData="trace.log" />
</sharedListeners>
<sources>
<source name="Router" switchValue="All"><listeners><add name="Listener" /></listeners></source>
</sources>
</system.diagnostics>
...



As for changing the unattended clients to call back to the new port, we have a help article about that.

They get logged to trace.log (which you probably want to change to be an absolute path, since I'm not actually sure where that would end up).

Another option would be to run the services interactively, which will create a window that you can right click on to enable tracing and is also where the messages will appear:
start C:\…\Bin\ScreenConnect.Service.exe interactive

I contacted SC support and requested help with setting up the "hidden" router functionality but I was told it's not officially supported and that I need to ask for help in the forum! So here I am.

I have a Windows 2008 R2 server with SC and the Apache webserver installed. I currently have SC webserver listening on port 443 and the relay listening on port 80 of the same IP address. Apache web server is listening on ports 80 and 443 of all other IP addresses that are setup on this server.

I want to share the same IP address with the SC webserver and relay and use port 443 for both. I would also like to have the SC webserver HTTP traffic automatically redirected to HTTPS.

Below is what I currently have in web.config:
Code:

<add key="WebServerListenUri" value="https://sc.mysite.com:443/" />
<add key="RelayListenUri" value="relay://10.0.0.2:80/" />


Can someone, who has accomplished this, please share their redacted settings with me?

Thanks,

Jeff

Ok. I found some notes that we made (I'm glad we made them because it would have been difficult to remember the procedure!).

DISCLAIMER: These are the notes of what worked for us. Your mileage may vary... And... my notes may be incomplete (though I hope not).

That said, here is a (best effort) recap of what we did to get it working. I hope you find it helpful:

Copied the existing SSL Cert from 443 to 8043 (you will need to do this when replacing the cert as well).

To get Cert Hash for SSL on 443, run "netsh http show sslcert" and note the hash.

To remove a Cert from a port: "netsh http delete sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:{portnumber}" where {portnumber} is the port.

To add a Cert to a port on Windows 7+ or Server 2008 R2 +: "netsh http add sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:{portnumber} certhash:{certhash} appid={00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}" where certhash is the certificate hash from the first step, or the fingerprint from certificate manager.

Next, we added the following to web.config (after backing it up) between <configuration> and <location path="Host.aspx">

<configSections>
<section name="screenconnect.routing" type="ScreenConnect.RoutingConfigurationHandler, ScreenConnect.Server" />
</configSections>
<screenconnect.routing>
<listenUris>
<listenUri>tcp://+:80/</listenUri>
<listenUri>tcp://+:443/</listenUri>
</listenUris>
<rules>
<rule schemeExpression="http" actionType="issueRedirect" actionData="https://$HOST/" />
<rule schemeExpression="ssl" actionType="forwardPayload" actionData="https://localhost:8043/" />
<rule schemeExpression="relay" actionType="forwardPayload" actionData="https://localhost:8041/" />
</rules>
</screenconnect.routing>

we also changed these web.config appsettings:
<add key="WebServerListenUri" value="https://+:443/" />
<add key="RelayListenUri" value="relay://+:80/" />

to this:
<add key="WebServerListenUri" value="https://+:8043/" />
<add key="WebServerAddressableUri" value="https://support.yourdomain.com/" />
<add key="RelayListenUri" value="relay://+:8041/" />
<add key="RelayAddressableUri" value="relay://support.yourdomain.com:443/" />


We also created the "ScreenConnect Router" service by exporting the ScreenConnect Relay service in the Registry (HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ScreenConnect Relay) and then modifying the .reg file changing the two "Relay" entries into "Router" then saved and imported that registry entry into the registry and rebooted the server.

The last step to getting it all working was the Windows Firewall - we had to ensure that Edge Transversal was allowed for the SC ports in the firewall. We added new Windows Firewall entries for this to ensure that ScreenConnect would not change these values when it's services were restarted. The ports used are 80 and 443 for traffic to hit the server, and 8041 and 8043 for traffic to itself (which is seen as unsolicited routed traffic, requiring Edge Transversal).

Tested it all working both internally and externally. Of course the clients trying to connect over port 80 and are failing are still going to fail and will require manual re-installation of a freshly downloaded unattended client installer - but we tested the relay working over both port 443, and port 80 with existing clients already able to connect.

You should be able to prevent that by adding RelayAddressableUri first: see this help page.

@Mark, thanks so very much for taking the time to share that information :-)

Unfortunately, even after following your instructions to the letter, it's not working. I cannot access the web page using https://support.mysite.com. I have to use https://support.mysite.com:8043

Code:

Router Warning: 0 : Unable to parse URI from 58 byte handshake after using 3 parsers

Any ideas?

UPDATE:
I think I got it working.

I changed from:
Code:

<rule schemeExpression="ssl" actionType="forwardPayload" actionData="https://localhost:8043/" />
<rule schemeExpression="relay" actionType="forwardPayload" actionData="https://localhost:8041/" />

To:
Code:

<rule schemeExpression="ssl" actionType="forwardPayload" actionData="https://10.0.0.2:8043/" />
<rule schemeExpression="relay" actionType="forwardPayload" actionData="https://10.0.0.2:8041/" />


I don't know why "localhost" doesn't work. Does anyone think using the local IP address of the server instead of "localhost" will cause any negative side effects?

When upgrading this setup to version 6.0, you will get an error mid-upgrade that says it can't start the services citing your permissions as a potential cause. The problem is the 6.0 installer is putting two new location settings in at the to of the web.config file, and the <configSections> tag needs to be the first tag after <configuration> for it to work. To resolve this, open the web.config file mid-upgrade (while you have the option to retry or cancel) and then just move sections needed back to the top of the file, just after the first tag, then save and click 'retry' on the installer.

Thanks for proactively posting this workaround Steven... I'm sure it will save us lots of time and frustration when we update to 6.0!

I have what I believe to be some odd ScreenConnect Router behavior. Running Windows Server 2008 R2 and coexisting with IIS. I have one IP for IIS and one for SC. All bindings behave correctly except port 8043. Port 8043 seems to want to bind to the IIS IP regardless of web.config settings. When I direct the rule referring to 8043 to the IIS IP, everything works as expected. Netstat shows only the IIS IP listening to port 8043. Perhaps this is expected? If not, what steps may I take to troubleshoot / correct it?

The relevant part of <configSections> from web.config
Code:

<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="screenconnect.routing" type="ScreenConnect.RoutingConfigurationHandler, ScreenConnect.Server" />
</configSections>
<screenconnect.routing>
<listenUris>
<listenUri>tcp://192.168.0.26:80/</listenUri>
<listenUri>tcp://192.168.0.26:443/</listenUri>
</listenUris>
<rules>
<rule schemeExpression="http" actionType="issueRedirect" actionData="https://$HOST/" />
<rule schemeExpression="ssl" actionType="forwardPayload" actionData="https://192.168.0.20:8043/" />
<rule schemeExpression="relay" actionType="forwardPayload" actionData="https://localhost:8041/" />
</rules>
</screenconnect.routing>


The relevant part of <appSettings> from web.config
Code:

  <add key="WebServerListenUri" value="https://+:8043/" />
  <add key="WebServerAddressableUri" value="https://screenconnect.domain.tld/" />
  <add key="RelayListenUri" value="relay://+:8041/" />
  <add key="RelayAddressableUri" value="relay://screenconnect.domain.tld:443/" />


The relevant part of netstat -an output. There is no entry missed for 0.0.0.0:8043, it only bound to the .20 address (which is IIS). .26 is SC.
Code:

Proto	Local Address		Foreign Address	State
TCP		0.0.0.0:8041		0.0.0.0:0		LISTENING

The wildcard address for WebServerListenUri looks like the problem; does it work if you change that to 192.168.0.26 as well?
Otherwise, you could check the Event Viewer, under Windows Logs > Application, source "ScreenConnect Web Server", and see if there are any errors being logged there.

I changed web.config as you suggested:
Code:

<add key="WebServerListenUri" value="https://192.168.0.26:8043/" />


The result is the web server fails to start. Below is the interactive output from the service. The Windows event log contains the same error for the ScreenConnect Web Server.
Code:

All right, it turns out you have to use netsh (add iplisten) to properly restrict it to a single IP address; the web server uses http.sys, the same as IIS, while the router and relay don't.
If you already did that for IIS, that's probably restricting the web server to .20 as well. So it might just be a question of deleting that.

Another thing that could be helpful to get more information is netstat -ano, which shows the process ids; IIS and web server will be 4 (system process) and router/relay will be different.

I had to add a listen address with netsh to keep IIS from binding all NICs on ports 80 and 443.

Oh yeah, it's not per-port… I guess it would defeat the purpose to add .26 as a listen address, so perhaps add a third one for the web server?

So I attempted to make this change over the weekend (this worked fine in my test environment on-prem server) but didn't work for our production with 600+ sessions. We are running 6.0.11622.6115.

The routing service seemed to work well (with trace logging enabled I could see it forwarding) but the web server service either returned 500 Internal server error and then after around 15 minutes a Server too busy error. We are running the latest 6.0 Here is our config (the configSection went right to the top otherwise services wouldn't start);

Our existing ports are 443 for the web server and port 80 for the relay (these then change to 8043 and 8041 respectively with the routing config changes).

Code:
<configSections>
   <section name="screenconnect.routing" type="ScreenConnect.RoutingConfigurationHandler, ScreenConnect.Server" />
 </configSections>
 <screenconnect.routing>
  <listenUris>
   <listenUri>tcp://+:80/</listenUri>
   <listenUri>tcp://+:443/</listenUri>
  </listenUris>
  <rules>
   <rule schemeExpression="http" actionType="issueRedirect" actionData="https://$HOST/" />
   <rule schemeExpression="ssl" actionType="forwardPayload" actionData="https://10.51.4.xxx:8043/" />
   <rule schemeExpression="relay" actionType="forwardPayload" actionData="https://10.51.4.xxx:8041/" />
 </rules>
 </screenconnect.routing>
...
  <add key="WebServerListenUri" value="https://+:8043/" />
  <add key="WebServerAddressableUri" value="https://connect.tld.com.au/" />
  <add key="RelayListenUri" value="relay://+:8041/" />
  <add key="RelayAddressableUri" value="relay://connect.tld.com.au:443/" />


With Trace logging on the web server I could see it returning 500 Internal server errors. Netstat showed right ports being utilised. Any ideas? Thanks.

You're forwarding to the external IP, so it's probably getting blocked by a firewall or something; try using "localhost" rather than "10.51.4.xxx".
(Edit: I was mistaken, it is an internal IP)

You can also add <customErrors mode="Off"/> in <system.web> to see what the actual internal server error is.

Hi Alexander, I've tried some more tonight on getting this going. Setting localhost or 10.51.4.xxx (which is the IP of the local machine) makes no difference.

Web Server Trace Log shows;
WebServer Information: 0 : [/] Got context
WebServer Information: 0 : [/] Got context
WebServer Information: 0 : [/] Got context

The Router trace log also shows as if it is working;
Router Information: 0 : Parsed original URI 'ssl://connect.tld.com.au/' out of 279 byte handshake
Router Information: 0 : Using rule to process URI: ssl://connect.tld.com.au/
Router Information: 0 : Performing action ForwardPayload 'https://10.51.4.xxx:8043/'...
Router Information: 0 : Connected to echo end point '10.51.4.xxx:8041'; starting forwarding...
Router Information: 0 : Parsed original URI 'relay://connect.tld.com.au/' out of 348 byte handshake
Router Information: 0 : Using rule to process URI: relay://connect.tld.com.au/
Router Information: 0 : Performing action ForwardPayload 'https://10.51.4.xxx:8041/'...
Router Information: 0 : Connected to echo end point '10.51.4.xxx:8041'; starting forwarding...
Router Information: 0 : Parsed original URI 'relay://connect.tld.com.au/' out of 348 byte handshake
Router Information: 0 : Using rule to process URI: relay://connect.tld.com.au/
Router Information: 0 : Performing action ForwardPayload 'https://10.51.4.xxx:8041/'...
Router Information: 0 : Connected to echo end point '10.51.4.xxx:8043'; starting forwarding...
Router Information: 0 : Connected to echo end point '10.51.4.xxx:8041'; starting forwarding...

But it seems like the web server is just stuck and doesn't want to complete requests. Web Browser both IE and Firefox simply keep cycling trying to hit the page.

So far I have been unable to get it to give me a 500 response but have added in the customErrors tag.

Can you access https://10.51.4.xxx:8043/ directly?
