jangle 1 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I have a VPN to my EMBY server and have configured users so LOCAL & REMOTE are invisible to the required group. I have configured LOCAL and REMOTE IP filters but the users still appear it was all fine but then with recent update seems to have failed. I have uploaded all configuration and log data proving it can see the IP 172.16.16.10 but fails to hide the required users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37009 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Hi, this looks like expected behavior based on your settings. Try checking the box to hide the user when connected remotely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jangle 1 Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 I have another user which is the Admin and this account isn't hidden, in fact everything is in reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37009 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Just look at the settings and you can easily see why. You've configured that user to be hidden on the local network, but visible when remote. Most people generally want the opposite, but in any event, the connection is a remote connection based on your network settings, and so that's why the user is not hidden.

jangle 1 Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 I think the USER image may have confused the issue, or I am confusing myself So people on the 192.168.100.x/24 are LOCAL. Connection on 172.16.16.x/24 are REMOTE The log file shows 172.16.16.10 making a connection which is remote over a VPN, but the USERS displayed are those on LOCAL. The setting for the LOCAL users says : Hide this user from login screens when connected remotely The setting for the REMOTE users says: Hide this user from login screens on the local network But that does appear to be the case the connect over REMOTE To me the system config is failing to recognise 172.16.16.0/24 as remote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37009 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 What do you mean users displayed on those are local? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jangle 1 Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 So when a REMOTE user accesses EMBY they should ONLY see users that are for REMOTE so not LOCAL. Users that are LOCAL therefore do not see ANY REMOTE users in the login list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37009 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 What do you mean users that are local? There is no such distinction. There is only the user setting to hide them from the login screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwhodges 1523 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I presume he means a client on a local address (operated by a putative user, of course, who is local in that sense). Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37009 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I think he's wrong about that. It is detected as remote but his screenshot in the first post indicates he has configured the user to be visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jangle 1 Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 Then I am confused. As far as I am concerned there are two options under the user configuration: 1, Hide this user from login screens on the local network 2, Hide this user from login screens when connected remotely So if I have a user LOCALLY (192.168.100.0/24) then I select setting 2, so they don't see the remote user account on the logon screen. If I have a REMOTE user (172.16.16.0/24) I select option 1. So REMOTE users can not see the Admin account etc. Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37009 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 If I have a REMOTE user (172.16.16.0/24) I select option 1. So REMOTE users can not see the Admin account etc. Option 1 has no effect on remote users, it only affects users on your local area network. So if I have a user LOCALLY (192.168.100.0/24) then I select setting 2, so they don't see the remote user account on the logon screen. Similarly, option 2 has no effect on local network connections. It only affects connections from outside the local network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jangle 1 Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 Exactly as I understand it and as the log shows the connection under 172.16.16.0/24 (172.16.16.10) was made but that REMOTE user was able to see ADMIN, why ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37009 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Exactly as I understand it and as the log shows the connection under 172.16.16.0/24 (172.16.16.10) was made but that REMOTE user was able to see ADMIN, why ? I've already explained this. That is a remote connection, and in your screenshot of the settings, you left the second checkbox unchecked. Try checking the box.

jangle 1 Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 I have mentioned this before the image for user was wrong. Here is the attached information of the configuration for the user. As advised REMOTE users can still see ADMIN with this configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37009 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Unfortunately that's not enough information. What users do each of those screenshots apply to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jangle 1 Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 The name of the image identifies the user? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
