Royal Server 26.0 Beta 8 2026-08-07

Configuration Tool

Fixed

Addresses a crash in the Multi-Factor Authentication user dialog when the username combined both supported downlevel and upn formats, for example domain.local\username@upn-suffix. Such usernames are now rejected with a message showing the accepted formats.

Fixed

Addresses a bug which resulted in a user being reported as non-existent when the domain could not be contacted. Both cases are now reported separately, and the log records which domain could not be reached.

Fixed

Addresses a bug on machines which are not domain-joined which made it possible to configure display names starting with non-existant workgroup names for local users.
