Greetings,
I've installed a RU Server, one Host and one Viewer. Host authorizations have been enabled for Single Password and "Custom server security". Overall, everything works as expected. However, I've noticed two issues:
1- From Viewer Connection (right click drop down menu), if I apply a change to Host's remote settings, the Host "service" stops and does not restart, unless started again manually. Note, the Host is a VM on a Windows server 2008.
2- Viewer to Host connection via Windows works. However, connection from either iOS/Android App to the same Host fails.
Log shows connection from the App to RU Server (ID server) is "OK". However, connection to Host (which has been assigned an Internet ID) has failed.
Any thoughts or comments is appreciated!

Hello Mo,
Thank you for your message.
Hope that helps.
Thank you for your message.
The issue might occur because of a Windows Server and its security policies. The service might not always restart properly on a Windows Server if there are any security policies are set that might prevent it from starting. Before we proceed troubleshooting, please try to follow this guide: https://www.remoteutilities.com/support/kb/host-service-won-t-start/the Host "service" stops and does not restart, unless started again manually
Please refer to our knowledge base article on common issues and their solutions when you cannot connect over the Internet using an Internet-ID connection.However, connection from either iOS/Android App to the same Host fails.
Hope that helps.

Thanks Polina!
I resolved the Host service issue by modifying the Recovery procedure. Changed it to restart again after failure. It's working now.
Regarding the Apps, neglected to mention that I've enabled the Pin Code option on the RU Server. However, there is no Pin Code field the Apps. Could the connection failure be related to Pin Code?
Thanks.

Hello Mo,
No. Whether your enable PIN code on the server or not doesn't affect your ability to connect from the mobile client.Could the connection failure be related to Pin Code?
