People auto-reconnecting after kick/ban

[warpedmonkeys]

Hi,

Since update 1.2.5, whenever I kick/ban someone from my server, they will automatically reconnect after 10 seconds (the same time as the auto-reconnect feature). Same thing happens on the latest snapshot. It's like the client thinks he disconnected. Obviously everything was perfect with mumble 1.2.4. I reverted back my client to 1.2.4 and I don't auto-reconnect anymore. Here are some info that might help:

- Server is hosted by CommandChannel

- Server version 1.2.4

- Clients are all Windows machines running either Win7 or Win8.1

- Clients are all running mumble 1.2.5 or the latest 1.3.0 snapshot

Is this happening to someone else? If it's only me, I'll try contacting CC support team.

I just checked my server, Murmur 1.2.4, with Mumble 1.2.5. I kick, obviously the client reconnects. But, I ban- the client attempts to connect, but cannot.

I hate to ask, but are you just kicking them? You have to actually ban them, as they are not the same thing. I assume you're doing it right, because it works with one client version and not the other, but I just have to ask.

Also, I tried Win 7 and 8.1, with expected results of both actions. So, not a bug in Murmur or Mumble, probably.

In older versions of Mumble the client did not reconnect after a kick (without ban). I have the same problem on a private server. It first happened in the 1.2.4 development snapshots.

So this is probably a bug.

@warpedmonkeys: Does your client log also say "[16:58] Server connection failed: The TLS/SSL connection has been closed." after "You were kicked from the server: ." ?

Based on Nate's response, it seems like you're just kicking the users. I've never been kicked, so I didn't know it wouldn't auto-reconnect in 1.2.4 and earlier.

Try banning them instead, and seeing what happens.

Yes sorry, bad explanation from me. Obviously when I ban them, they cannot reconnect, but as soon as I remove them from the ban list they will reconnect.

@natenom: Here's what happens:

[4:13:16 PM] You were kicked from the server by SuperUser: Test.

[4:13:16 PM] Server connection failed: The TLS/SSL connection has been closed.

[4:13:26 PM] Reconnecting.

The problem is that I have a certain number of slots for my server which is perfectly fine normally, but people have the weird idea that the AFK Channel is a place where you can stay when you go on vacation. I used to kick them to solve this issue. Banning isn't really an option for me, usually people don't stay friends very long when they get banned.

I know it's a bit of a hassle, but you could set the ban duration to expire at a certain time. Maybe there's a way to set a default 4 hours or something? I've never seen it.

Should I add this to the github issues tracker?

[Natenom]

Yes, please :)

Hi, this has been fixed in the snapshots for quite a while but still hasn't made it in the stable release. Any plan on having it before 1.3.0 ?

Thanks
