First Service OpenZiti

Hello everyone,

I am new to this, I have managed to install OpenZiti on an AWS instance through the quick guide with Docker Compose.

I am creating my first service through ZAC but I cannot make my client computer have access to port 3389 of my Windows server.

I have done it with the OpenZiti guide and through the quick option in the ZAC. From NetFoundry I managed to connect to the server via RDP but on my own server I can't get it to work. I don't know if it's a problem with the server that doesn't allow it to work or if I'm configuring it incorrectly.

Thanks in advance, I hope you can help me, I am stuck with this and I don't know what else to do.

Hi @AnthonyBasdfg welcome to the community and to OpenZiti.

Do I understand you correctly, you setup cloudziti and were successful with rdp, now you're looking to host your own OpenZiti instance but you're not successful with rdp?

Are you using the ziti admin console to manage your overlay or are you using the ziti cli? Are you able to enroll an identity in your desktop edge? Have you looked at all the logs to see if there are any errors reported?

We'll need a bit more information from you to really know where and how to troubleshoot next

Hello TheLumberjack, thank you for your prompt response,

Yes, you understood me correctly.

I am using the web administration console and I have registered my client and server computers as entities.

I just saw the logs and in ziti-ziti-controller-1 it tells me what following:

[ 14.572] INFO ziti/controller/network.(*Network).Run: {routerId=[IAtJ4O8.r]} changed router

And in the container ziti-ziti-edge-router-1:

I hope this can help you, thank you.

The first logs about the "first record does not"... are standard messages from port hits against the port on the controller. Since it has to be open to be reachable, port scans and all sorts of garbage requests are common, those are meaningless unless you see a ton of them from a single source you might want to block.

I would start with the policy advisor. From the controller CLI, you can issue the command as below.

ziggy@ip-10-19-253-128:~$ ziti edge policy-advisor services -h
checks policies/connectivity between services and identities

Usage:
  ziti edge policy-advisor services <service name or id>? <identity name or id>? [flags]

Flags:
  -i, --cli-identity string   Specify the saved identity you want the CLI to use when connect to the controller with
  -h, --help                  help for services
  -j, --output-json           Output the full JSON response from the Ziti Edge Controller
      --output-request-json   Output the full JSON request to the Ziti Edge Controller
  -q, --quiet                 Minimize output by hiding header
      --timeout int           Timeout for REST operations (specified in seconds) (default 5)
      --verbose               Enable verbose logging

This will help you make sure the policies are setup correctly for your endpoint to reach the service and have common edge routers.

If that is all OK, or if you find and fix something and it still isn't working, make sure your controller is logging events and take a look at the fabric.circuit events. This will tell you why the dial is failing, or if it is even happening.
