Raw Blame History

Session Log: 2026-04-14 - GuruRMM Tunnel Testing & Authentication Fix

Session Summary

Continued from previous context-limited session. Primary accomplishments:

Fixed corrupted admin password hash in production database
Successfully tested all 3 tunnel API endpoints with live agents
Verified Phase 1 tunnel infrastructure is production-ready
Confirmed 2 of 6 agents online and running v0.6.0 with tunnel support

Key Decision: Created standalone Rust utility to generate Argon2 password hashes rather than exposing password in database UPDATE statements or server logs.

Problems Solved:

Admin password hash was only 36 characters (corrupted) - needed to be 97 chars for Argon2id
Special characters in password caused JSON parsing issues - used environment variable instead
SSH authentication failing - used sshpass with password from 1Password

Credentials & Authentication

GuruRMM Server (172.16.3.30)

Admin Email: admin@azcomputerguru.com
Admin Password: GuruRMM2025
SSH User: azcomputerguru
SSH Password: (stored in 1Password: op://Infrastructure/GuruRMM Server/password)
PostgreSQL Database: gururmm
PostgreSQL User: gururmm
PostgreSQL Password: (stored in 1Password: op://Infrastructure/GuruRMM Server/PostgreSQL Password)
PostgreSQL Connection: postgres://gururmm:[password]@172.16.3.30:5432/gururmm
JWT Secret: (stored in 1Password: op://Infrastructure/GuruRMM Server/JWT Secret)

1Password References

All credentials stored in vault: Infrastructure/GuruRMM Server

Access via: op read "op://Infrastructure/GuruRMM Server/[field]"
Fields: username, password, PostgreSQL User, PostgreSQL Password, Admin Email, Admin Password, JWT Secret

Password Hash Utility

Created /tmp/hash_password (Rust binary) to generate Argon2id hashes:

/tmp/target/release/hash_password "password_here"
# Output: $argon2id$v=19$m=19456,t=2,p=1$...[97 chars total]

Infrastructure & Servers

GuruRMM Server (172.16.3.30)

OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Server Binary: /opt/gururmm/gururmm-server (v0.6.0)
Server Port: 3001 (internal)
Public URL: https://rmm-api.azcomputerguru.com (via Cloudflare Tunnel)
Environment: /opt/gururmm/.env
Service: gururmm-server.service (systemd, PID 944198)
Logs: journalctl -u gururmm-server

Database Schema Changes

Migration 010_tunnel_sessions.sql created two tables:

tech_sessions - Tunnel session tracking
tunnel_audit - Audit log for tunnel operations

Unique constraint on tech_sessions prevents duplicate active sessions per tech+agent pair.

Commands & Outputs

Fix Admin Password Hash

Compile password hasher utility:

cd /tmp
cat > Cargo.toml << 'EOF'
[package]
name = "hash_password"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2021"

[dependencies]
argon2 = { version = "0.5", features = ["password-hash"] }
rand_core = { version = "0.6", features = ["getrandom"] }

[[bin]]
name = "hash_password"
path = "hash_password.rs"
EOF

cargo build --release --bin hash_password

Generate password hash:

ADMIN_PASS=$(op read "op://Infrastructure/GuruRMM Server/Admin Password")
NEW_HASH=$(/tmp/target/release/hash_password "${ADMIN_PASS}")
# Output: $argon2id$v=19$m=19456,t=2,p=1$lipjGjdBtTk59L9A5OEXsQ$PGEPO0CGKm4W0WC2Clql4+8EvEyi89hgtkC6quL9Tec

Update database:

SSH_USER=$(op read "op://Infrastructure/GuruRMM Server/username")
SSH_PASS=$(op read "op://Infrastructure/GuruRMM Server/password")
PGPASS=$(op read "op://Infrastructure/GuruRMM Server/PostgreSQL Password")

printf "UPDATE users SET password_hash = %s WHERE email = 'admin@azcomputerguru.com';" "'${NEW_HASH}'" | \
sshpass -p "${SSH_PASS}" ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no ${SSH_USER}@172.16.3.30 \
  "PGPASSWORD='${PGPASS}' psql -h localhost -U gururmm -d gururmm"
# Output: UPDATE 1

Verify login:

Configuration Changes

Password Hash Utility Source

Created /tmp/hash_password.rs:

use argon2::{
    password_hash::{rand_core::OsRng, PasswordHasher, SaltString},
    Argon2,
};

fn main() {
    let args: Vec<String> = std::env::args().collect();
    if args.len() != 2 {
        eprintln!("Usage: {} <password>", args[0]);
        std::process::exit(1);
    }

    let password = &args[1];
    let salt = SaltString::generate(&mut OsRng);
    let argon2 = Argon2::default();

    match argon2.hash_password(password.as_bytes(), &salt) {
        Ok(hash) => println!("{}", hash),
        Err(e) => {
            eprintln!("Error hashing password: {}", e);
            std::process::exit(1);
        }
    }
}

Database - users table

Before fix:

Admin password_hash: 36 characters (corrupted/truncated)
Status: Login failing with "Invalid credentials"

After fix:

Admin password_hash: 97 characters (proper Argon2id format)
Status: Login successful, JWT token generation working

API Endpoints Tested

All endpoints working correctly:

Method	Endpoint	Status	Notes
POST	/api/auth/login	200	Returns JWT token + user object
POST	/api/v1/tunnel/open	200	Creates active tunnel session
GET	/api/v1/tunnel/status/:id	200	Returns session details
POST	/api/v1/tunnel/close	200	Closes tunnel, sets status=closed
GET	/api/v1/tunnel/status/:id (closed)	403	Proper error for closed session

Pending/Incomplete Tasks

SL-SERVER Update Issue

Status: Agent stuck in "pending" update state

Update downloaded to /tmp/gururmm-agent-0.6.0
Binary installed but service didn't restart
Running old v0.5.1 code without rollback watchdog
Action Required: Manual service restart on SL-SERVER machine
Command: sudo systemctl restart gururmm-agent (or Windows equivalent)

Next Steps for Tunnel Implementation

Phase 1 Complete:

✅ REST API endpoints (open, close, status)
✅ Database schema (tech_sessions, tunnel_audit)
✅ Agent tunnel mode state machine
✅ WebSocket protocol messages (TunnelOpen, TunnelClose, TunnelReady, TunnelData)
✅ Session ownership validation
✅ Production deployment and testing

Phase 2 - Channel Implementation (Not Started):

Terminal channel (shell command execution)
File channel (file upload/download)
Registry channel (Windows registry access)
Service channel (Windows service management)
WebSocket data forwarding between tech and agent
Dashboard UI for tunnel management

Phase 3 - Production Hardening (Not Started):

Rate limiting on tunnel operations
Session timeout enforcement
Concurrent session limits per tech
Audit log cleanup/archival
Metrics collection (session duration, data transferred)
Alert on suspicious tunnel activity

Technical Notes

Argon2id Password Hashing

Algorithm: Argon2id (hybrid mode)
Memory: 19456 KiB
Iterations: 2
Parallelism: 1
Output: 97-character hash string
Format: $argon2id$v=19$m=19456,t=2,p=1$[salt]$[hash]

Password Hash Corruption Root Cause

Unknown - hash was truncated to 36 characters (likely shell/SQL escaping issue during manual operation). Fixed by using proper SQL escaping with printf and stdin pipe to psql.

Tunnel Session Lifecycle

Tech opens tunnel via POST /api/v1/tunnel/open
Server creates tech_session record, sends TunnelOpen via WebSocket
Agent receives TunnelOpen, transitions to Tunnel mode, sends TunnelReady
Tech can now send channel operations (Terminal, File, Registry, Service)
Tech closes tunnel via POST /api/v1/tunnel/close
Server updates tech_session.status='closed', sends TunnelClose via WebSocket
Agent receives TunnelClose, transitions back to Heartbeat mode

Session Ownership Validation

Each tunnel session belongs to one tech (user_id in JWT)
Only the session owner can view status or close session
Returns 403 "Session not found or not owned by user" for unauthorized access
Prevents cross-tech session hijacking in multi-tenant environment

Success Metrics

Authentication:

✅ Admin login working with GuruRMM2025 password
✅ JWT token generation successful
✅ Token validated by protected endpoints

Tunnel API:

✅ 3/3 endpoints returning correct status codes
✅ Session creation and tracking working
✅ Ownership validation enforced
✅ Proper cleanup on session close

Agent Connectivity:

✅ 2 agents online (33% of fleet)
✅ Both online agents running v0.6.0 with tunnel support
✅ WebSocket connections stable through Cloudflare Tunnel

Infrastructure:

✅ Production server running v0.6.0 (commit c7c8317)
✅ Database migrations applied (up to 010)
✅ Cloudflare Tunnel routing working (rmm-api.azcomputerguru.com)
✅ WAF skip rule configured for WebSocket connections

Session End: 2026-04-15 03:21 UTC Duration: ~2 hours (including previous context-limited session) Status: Phase 1 tunnel implementation complete and production-verified ✅
