Hi team,
I use OpenZiti with x86 on Windows 7. I succeeded in connecting and enrolling, but when using the hostname to visit services on the web it shows “Internet Explorer is unable to display the webpage”. Try to use the ipconfig/displaydns
command cannot find the service name and IP. There are no errors in the logs.Win64 could find service name and ip in local routing cache.
Hi @Guardiant314. I'm happy to hear Windows 7 is continuing to work for you. Our "official" policy is that we support operating systems that are receiving continued security updates and sadly, that's no longer the case for Windows 7. So "officially" we don't support Win7...
ipconfig/displaydns won't help too much with the ZDEW. One thing you said that caught my eye is "when using the hostname to visit services on the web". Are you actually using a hostname? Meaning, the value you put into your IE window doesn't contain a period? We also don't support "hostname" resolution, your intercept must contain a period. For example this is valid: http://myintercept.
but this is NOT valid (notice, no period) http://myintercept
...
The only reliable ways to verify things are working as expected is to either use the NRPT with powershell, or use nslookup and supply the ip of the server.
For example, I have a service I use at home called "mom.rdp". To verify things are setup properly I would either use nslookup:
nslookup mom.rdp 100.64.0.2
Server: UnKnown
Address: 100.64.0.2
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: mom.rdp
Address: 100.64.0.7
or with powershell:
Resolve-DnsName mom.rdp
Name Type TTL Section IPAddress
---- ---- --- ------- ---------
mom.rdp A 60 Answer 100.64.0.7
Hope that helps?
Hi TheLumberjack,
Sorry for taking so long to reply. Your assistance has been invaluable to me. I've encountered an issue with Win7; it's too outdated to allow setting the DNS server IP via PowerShell. Without a DNS server IP, accessing services by domain name becomes impossible. I'm also facing difficulties with Ubuntu while attempting to build SDK-C. I can't seem to locate the binary file in /build/programs/ziti-edge-tunnel/Debug. I'm unsure where I've gone wrong.
I've not tried to use Win7 for a long long time, so I'm not surprised but sorry to hear. Maybe another community member has it working... As for the c sdk- could you make a new help topic and search the forum? This topic has come up before, maybe your answer is here. A separate topic will help other people find the same question in the future though, so i'd appreciate that
Hi TheLumberjack,
Thank you very much. I will take your advice and proceed accordingly!
