--------------------------------
Summary: Windows Images may be registered with the wrong KMS host
Key: VCL-611
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-611
Project: VCL
Issue Type: Bug
Components: vcld (backend)
Affects Versions: 2.3
Reporter: Aaron Coburn
In the Windows::Version_6.pm:activate() subroutine, the function returns TRUE
if the windows image has already been activated. This will result in an
activated windows OS, but it will be registered with the incorrect KMS host
under the following conditions:
If there are multiple affiliations using a common infrastructure at, for
instance, campus A.
AND
if campus A runs a KMS server on a network on which (port 1688) broadcast
requests from VCL images are received and accepted
Even though the VCL clears all activation records during the capture process,
when a windows image (owned by campus B) boots up, it will still send a
broadcast request on port 1688, and KMS activation happens automatically,
albeit with campus A's KMS. Then, when the VCL checks the OS whether windows
has been activated, it sees that it has and it proceeds no further. Thus, the
image from campus B is registered under campus A's MS license agreement.
But by putting this block:
if($self->activate_kms || $self->activate_mak){
...
}
before this block:
if($license_status && $license_status =~ /licensed/i){
...
}
then everything works as it should.
