Component and version

Steps to reproduce

  1. Log in to NethLink and check the user's NethLink device info in the wizard (Configurations → Preferences → Users → Info): version and "Last access" are populated
  2. Update NethLink to a newer version (or simply close it), keeping the saved session
  3. Open NethLink again: it logs in automatically with the saved token
  4. Check the NethLink device info in the wizard again

Expected behavior

NethLink version, OS and "Last access" reflect the client currently running and its latest start.

Actual behavior

Version and "Last access" still show the values of the last manual login (e.g. old version 1.5.2 after updating to 1.5.3, old timestamp). Presence and SIP user agent are updated correctly, since they come from the SIP registration, not from the heartbeat.

The POST /user/nethlink heartbeat is sent only during an interactive login. When NethLink starts with a saved, still valid token, the auto-login only validates it with /user/me and skips the heartbeat. The same happens on resume from sleep and on socket reconnect.

Suggested fix or workaround

Workaround: log out and log in again from NethLink.

Fix: send the heartbeat also when the auto-login reuses a saved valid token (app start, resume from sleep, socket reconnect), without blocking the login if the heartbeat fails.

    Test

    PR: NethServer/nethlink#250

    Setup: NethVoice >= 1.7.10, a user with a NethLink device, NethLink build from the PR, access to the wizard (Configurations → Preferences → Users → NethLink device → Info).

    Test Case 1 - Start with saved session

    • Log in to NethLink, note version and "Last access" in the wizard Info modal
    • Close NethLink completely and wait at least one minute
    • Reopen NethLink: it logs in automatically without asking credentials
    • Reload the Info modal: "Last access" is updated to the new start time

    Test Case 2 - Client update with saved session

    • With a saved session on an older NethLink (e.g. 1.5.2), install the PR build without logging out
    • Open NethLink: it logs in automatically
    • Reload the Info modal: "NethLink version" shows the new version, OS and "Last access" are updated

    Test Case 3 - Resume from sleep

    • With NethLink logged in, put the PC to sleep and resume it
    • Reload the Info modal: "Last access" is updated to the resume time
    • NethLink is still logged in and calls work

    Test Case 4 - Manual login (regression)

    • Log out and log in again with credentials (also with 2FA if enabled)
    • Reload the Info modal: version, OS and "Last access" are updated as before

    Test Case 5 - Expired token

    • With an expired saved token, open NethLink: it re-logs in automatically with the saved password
    • Reload the Info modal: "Last access" is updated

    Test Case 6 - Heartbeat failure does not block login

    • On a server without the middleware heartbeat endpoint (or with the endpoint failing), open NethLink with a saved session
    • Auto-login completes normally, no error shown to the user
