I noticed when updating from 8.0.7 to 8.0.10 that I can no longer connect to the gateway through an ssh tunnel. That is, I ssh from my local workstation with port forwarding for 8088 to an Ignition server that I cannot connect directly to port 8088 on (ssh me@remote\_ign\_server -L 8088:localhost:8088) and when I connect to [http://localhost:8088](http://localhost:8088) I get a connection refused.

Closer examination reveals that ignition is closing the socket right after it connects - I can telnet to localhost 8088 on the ignition server and have a successful HTTP conversation:

[me@ignition\_server ~]$ telnet localhost 8088  
Trying 127.0.0.1…  
Connected to localhost.  
Escape character is ‘^]’.  
HEAD / HTTP/1.0

HTTP/1.1 302 Found  
Date: Fri, 03 Apr 2020 14:01:47 GMT

But when I try to do the same on my workstation the connection closes right after it opens:  
me@PC:~$ telnet localhost 8088  
Trying 127.0.0.1…  
Connected to localhost.  
Escape character is ‘^]’.  
Connection closed by foreign host.

Are you sure nothing about your or the server environment changed?

I was able access a fresh 8.0.10 install over an SSH tunnel with no issues.

Hi Kevin

I just tried to reproduce it again step by step and found the issue - one of my colleagues was working with another machine behind the ssh gateway and was using the same port I was using for tunneling the ignition gateway! I would have had no idea if I hadn’t asked him if he was seeing the same problem.

Thanks for checking on your end.
