How to debug NServiceBus ServiceControl instance

Question

I've installed the ServiceControl Management Utility and I'm trying to add an instance.

I would like to run the instance under a service account because we use SQLServer transport but pmthe installation page I get the error "Invalid password".

The account is hosting another windows service on the same machine.

I've tried other admin accounts and creating the instance through the UI and Powershell scripts.

I'm 200% sure the password is correct.

Is there anyway I can increase the logging to determine what is failing?

Strangely, I can change the service account under the initial install and it works.. I was eventually able to get the service running using an SQL login but I would prefered to use integrated security and not keep the username and password in the connection string.

A patch that addresses this bug has been released. See - https://github.com/Particular/ServiceControl/releases/tag/1.7.3. Thanks Kye for making us aware of the issue

Answer 2

This is code that does the validation.

public bool CheckPassword(string password)
       {
           if (Domain.Equals("NT AUTHORITY", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
           {
               return true;
           }
           var localAccount = Domain.Equals(Environment.MachineName, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase);
           var context = localAccount ? new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Machine) : new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain);
           return context.ValidateCredentials(QualifiedName, password);
       }

So in a multi-domain environment it might run into trouble.
