Automatic password in 0.63.0.1 19/08/2013

Chris Zanoni - Thu 22/08/2013 19:03:46 CEST +0200

In Kitty .63.0.1 19/08/2013, I set an automatic password for login, and when I start a session, te session window says "Send Automatic Password" and then after a few seconds I get "Access denied". After retyping the password and retyring several times with no luck, I searched your forums for a solution. I found a post from a person who was having this problem under .62. (www.9bis.net/kitty/?action=forum&id=0162&zone=en‎) and there was a link to a beta of .62.2.3. .62.2.3 WORKS!

If I type a new password into a new entry in .63, it doesnt work. If I then immediately open .62, load that entry i created in .63 and open it, it works. If I then go BACK to .63 and load and open that same entry (without any other changes), .63 uses the automatic password correctly.

What I found is that if I only enter the password into .63, kitty.sav does NOT have a "Password"="...." line. But when I then use that entry in .62, .62 has added a "Password"= line to kitty.sav.

I downloaded kitty from the main link here on your site: http://www.9bis.net/dm/downloadmanager.php?domain=downloadbestsoft&name=kitty.exe

I will keep using .62.2.3 until I see things have changed.

Thanks for the great putty extension! It makes my life a LOT easier :

Can you try that special build: https://www.9bis.net/kitty/data/beta/kitty.exe

Hi,

I got the same problem with KiTTY Portable. Is there a special build for me to try?

Thanks.

Cyd - Fri 23/08/2013 19:42:30 CEST +0200

This build should work in portable mode too

With kitty 0.63.0.1 facing the same problem - both normal and portable kitty version.It?s working with interactive password typed, user+password stored results in closing the session in the moment of opening. I?ve tried to get some information in putty.log but nothing useful is logged:
=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= PuTTY log 2013.08.24 16:24:55 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=
Using username "root".
Nothing more was logged. - I?ll keeping keep 062.2.2 in use which works fine with the stored passwords.
(p.s. thanks a log for great work on kitty!)

Yes there is a known issue with password saving in 0.63.0.1.
Already fixed but not officially available.
You can get a beta version here: http://www.9bis.net/kitty/data/beta/kitty.exe
Next official release in the next week.

Frank - Mon 26/08/2013 09:34:55 CEST +0200

Even Beta Version has same issue.
Can you provide a link to download old Version 0.62 again ?

Cyd - Mon 26/08/2013 10:51:12 CEST +0200

Sorry, but I am not able to reproduce your issue.
On my side it works fine either in classic mode or portable mode.

Peter - Mon 26/08/2013 17:29:32 CEST +0200

Same problem. User+PW functionality broken with 0.63

Chris Zanoni - Mon 26/08/2013 17:38:16 CEST +0200

This second link seems to work fine. To confirm, I removed the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\9bis.com tree from the registry, deleted the entire kitty directory from the c:\users\czanoni\application data, nd then restarted it. I added a new entry, added the username and password, saved it, then opened it, and it works fine.

Thanks for the timely fix!

Hello,
On my side, it's impossible to use the "automatic password" function : Kitty (v0.63.0.2) crashes each time I try to start a new session.

bne - Thu 29/08/2013 13:57:37 CEST +0200

every version from 0.63.x crashes if i store the password under "data"
i removed the registry entries
i removed the portable .ini

if i load the session and remove the password, it work?

Hi Cyd,

I am also getting the APPCRASH when using the automatic password in 0.63.0.x - When I use it to connect to Solaris 10 Hosts, Linux hosts & FreeBSD hosts it works fine. But as soon as I connect to a Solaris 11.1 host I get the APPCRASH. Solaris 11.1 host logs: fatal: Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer.

When I use 0.62.2.3 it works fine.

If you need me to run Kitty in debug, please explain to me again how to do it? :)
Then I will send you the info

Thanks
Daniel

Hello!
> impossible to use the "automatic password" function : Kitty (v0.63.0.2) crashes each time
just the same for all 0.63 subversions. XP SP3

so, still work on 0.62 -- it rocks

Cyd - Tue 03/09/2013 13:27:22 CEST +0200

Can someone tell me if that beta build (https://www.9bis.net/kitty/data/beta/kitty.exe) fixes the password issue ?

Daniel - Tue 03/09/2013 13:33:09 CEST +0200

Hi Cyd,

You are a genius. The beta works for me :D - now I can connect to all my hosts including solaris 11.1 hosts :)

Thanks
Daniel

Cyd - Tue 03/09/2013 13:54:05 CEST +0200

Thanks for your report.
0.63.0.3 will be ready very soon.
I'm just finishing to work on an issue in he folder filter.

Shahab - Wed 04/09/2013 15:13:08 CEST +0200

Hi Cyd,
This beta works for me too. All hosts are HPUX 11.31. I'm running Windows 7 32 Bit with AD. Thanks a lot for your work :)

Peter - Wed 04/09/2013 17:12:03 CEST +0200

KiTTY 0.63.0.2. 03/09/2013-20:07:45(GMT) (post fromCyd - Tue 03/09/2013 13:27:22 CEST +0200)
works perfekt again with also with stored passwords, checked on Linux, HP-UX 11.11 Solaris 10.
Many thanks for the quick fix.

Oleg - Tue 10/09/2013 19:35:30 CEST +0200

Hi Cyd!
automatic password works in 0.63.0.3, thanx a lot! But now the following issue: doesn't work copy-prev-word (M-_) within tcsh (term linux). Instead of the last worв I see a dot char (.)
0.62 - works quite allright. Please, make it work again!

Oleg - Tue 10/09/2013 19:36:35 CEST +0200

I forgot to add: I use portable version

Oleg - Tue 10/09/2013 19:51:53 CEST +0200

I beg your pardon =), but I should add one more remark: In order to work correctly copy-prev-word (Atl+Shift+_) I have to select the session name, press Load button, and then open it. If I skip loading -- there'd be symbol `_' instead of the last word from the previous cmd.

Cyd - Tue 10/09/2013 21:12:07 CEST +0200

Just disable meta bit setting.

Oleg - Thu 12/09/2013 23:56:21 CEST +0200

> meta bit setting
Thanx! now it works like a charm! Really good work!
