Sorry Eugene, what do you mean by DM? Direct message? How can I send you this token?

TheLumberjack · February 11, 2026, 3:36pm

yes...
yes-dm

Eric · February 11, 2026, 3:40pm

Thank you but when I click on ikoby, I don't have the Message button.

Eric · February 11, 2026, 3:44pm

This is what I see

TheLumberjack · February 11, 2026, 3:47pm

that's frustrating. I'll see if that's some sort of discourse permission and follow-up

TheLumberjack · February 11, 2026, 3:51pm

Can you see these?

And:

??? I hope?

Eric · February 11, 2026, 3:56pm

No, I don't see "My messages"

TheLumberjack · February 11, 2026, 3:59pm

i've DM'ed you here to see if that unlocks whatever is going on . thx

ekoby · February 11, 2026, 4:57pm

Eric, I DM'd you the result of my test. everything looked OK

ekoby · February 12, 2026, 3:21am

Eric, I believe I found the cause of the issue you're reporting.

It manifests only on Linux and is caused by a third party library incompatibility between our addon and nodejs runtime.

I'll publish a new version tomorrow

Eric · February 12, 2026, 4:12am

Eugene,

This is very good new! I'll be wainting for the update.

Thanks!

I guess the file is here:

//https:github.com/openziti/ziti-sdk-nodejs/releases/

Then I have done a few things:

as I use nodejs 25.6.1, I have downloaded this file

https://github.com/openziti/ziti-sdk-nodejs/releases/download/0.26.0/ziti_sdk_nodejs-v0.26.0-node-v141-linux-x64.tar.gz

I have unzipped it in ~/testSdk/node_modules/@openziti/ziti-sdk-nodejs
I have created a package.json file:

{
  "name": "ziti-sdk-nodejs",
  "version": "0.26.0",
  "main": "Release/ziti_sdk_nodejs.node"
}

Now trying to enroll passing the token file name to ziti.ziti_enroll;

ekoby · February 13, 2026, 2:58pm

node 18 is no longer supported as it does not get security updates

you shouldn't need all of this manual stuff. You can use any of the current node LTS releases (20,22,24), or latest(25).

The install should succeed

Eric · February 13, 2026, 4:47pm

I'll try again tomorrow from scratch and tell you.

Eric · February 14, 2026, 5:45am

Hi Eugene,

Here all all the steps I did:

Remove all the node versions installed
Install nodejs v24: got version 24.13.1

I did nothing manually there.

The signature shown above is identical to the third block in the token.

Let me just show my code again:

const fs = require('fs');
const binary = require('./node_modules/@mapbox/node-pre-gyp');
const ziti = require('@openziti/ziti-sdk-nodejs');   
const result = ziti.ziti_sdk_version();
const path = require('path')

require('assert').notEqual(result,"");

console.log("using ziti version: " + ziti.ziti_sdk_version())

const ziti_Enroll = async (jwt_path) => {
    console.log("JS ziti_Enroll() entered");
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        //const jwt = fs.readFileSync(jwt_path, 'utf8').trim();
        let rc = ziti.ziti_enroll(
            jwt_path,
            (data) => {
                if (data.identity) {
                    return resolve(data);
                } else {
                    return reject(data);
                }
            }
        );
    });
};


(async () => {

    let jwt_path = process.argv[2];

    let data = await ziti_Enroll(jwt_path).catch((data) => {
        console.log('JS ziti_enroll failed with error code (%o/%s)', data.status, data.err);
    });

    if (data && data.identity) {
        console.log("data.identity is:\n\n%s\n", data.identity);
    }

    process.exit(0);

})();

my package.json file:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "@mapbox/node-pre-gyp": "^2.0.3",
    "@openziti/ziti-sdk-nodejs": "^0.26.0"
  }
}
