Josh Thompson updated VCL-611:
------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 2.6
> 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
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.6
>
>
> 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.
