MeshCentral Server Migration - Creating Duplicate LDAP Accounts
We have copied an migrated an IDENTICAL Mesh Central installation to another Linux server. The LDAP environment has the same groups, users and permissions. Yet when we login with the same user as before it ignores the existing user and creates a new one.I've created an issue on Github because it seems this is a bug but was wondering if anyone else on this group may have run into this and has an idea of what the problem might be...

Remote connections to GCE VM machines
You can use it to ssh to instances that don't have external IP Addresses. You can also use it to connect to remote destkop for windows vm's.
- Simplest way to place existing public GCE VMs behind IAP and only allow our internal users?

Zero-Trust RDP and SSH Access to VMs on Google Cloud
This sounds like a deal breaker for some use cases: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/iap-desktop/wiki/Trou... "Because of the way IAP Desktop tunnels RDP connections, it always uses NTLM for authentication and can't use Kerberos." There may be environments that lose the security benefits of Kerberos over NTLMv2 (e.g., mutual authentication) because they've been forced into a new compliance mandate that dictates adoption of Zero Trust in all available contexts.

Is it possible to use IAP Desktop to interact with Ubuntu desktop compute engine VM?
Just googled it and found this… so maybe I was wrong (not about RDP but wrong that the tool doesn’t support it)? https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/iap-desktop/wiki/Connecting-to-linux-instances
