Account upgrading

[iago]

Here is a packet log of my attempt to upgrade (I'll post the important packets at the end of this):
http://www.javaop.com/~iago/upgrade.txt

For some reason, Battle.net doesn't respond to SID_AUTH_ACCOUNTUPGRADEPROOF.  Any idea why?  Isn't it supposed to send SID_AUTH_ACCOUNTLOGONPROOF back? 

Here are the important packets:

I send SID_AUTH_ACCOUNTLOGON:

..... and get no response.  Any clue why?  My only thought was that they don't have it implemented, which seems silly..

[Skywing]

You experienced this on real Battle.net? On what circumstances? (server, product, ...)?

While support for upgrades is implemented on various recent Battle.net clients, the server continues to request that everybody use the old-style logon protocol.  I'd be very interested if you've found a case in which the server wants you to perform an actual upgrade.

Edit: Looked at your packet log.  IIRC, for War3 accounts, the upgrade packets have a meaning other than that the account really needs to be upgraded.  I recall somebody else (Spht perhaps?) running into this situation before, but I don't remember what the exact reason was.

You might try logging in with the official client to see what it does.  I don't have my notes on the War3 handler for that particular message here to check.

[iago]

I created the account using a bot and SID_CREATEACCOUNT2 and the SHA1 of my password.  I did this on all 4 realms, although I don't know the specific servers. 

When I then connected using a regular login (SID_AUTH_ACCOUNTLOGON) and that account, it gives me the "this account must be upgraded" response. 

I was doing it as Warcraft 3, when I tried sending SID_AUTH_ACCOUNTLOGON with Starcraft, I was disconnected. 

I more or less wanted to make sure I implemented it correctly, so it was an contrived situation.  You never know when they might move D2 or SC or any of those clients to NLS (unlikely, but who knows?)

When I tried with the official client, I got the message, "Warcraft 3 cannot login with that account type" or something similar.  It never got past SID_AUTH_ACCOUNTLOGON, it gave up after that point. 

[Skywing]

Ah - I would recommend a local Battle.net server which understands SRP.  That was the solution I used for testing it.  It also lets you verify it against a Blizzard client as a nice bonus.

I'll look into adding a message to enable a "developer mode" on BNLS to always return zero from all randomized calculations in case anyone wants to use it to verify implementations.

Ahem, I was the one who tried with the client =p

I'm actually not sure how the values were derived, it was a friend of mine who did it.  But the fact that it matched the change password packet seemed logical enough. 

And yeah, that would be a neat feature.. although this is the only thing I haven't implemented (besides WoW, but I don't see that as being terribly likely), and I'm reasonably sure it's right

Ahem, I was the one who tried with the client =p

True, but that wasn't particularily relevant to the conversation, so I left it out.

Please, this would be a wonderfull feature, All* of my research for Upgrading accounts has come from BNLS considering I have never encountered it in the wild. Addition of such a feature will help me greatly in conferming JBLS compliance with BNLS.

I would like to point out that I discovered this some time ago and maybe the other topic might help

[iago]

Yeah, you "discovered" it the same way I do it.  And for the record, I didn't do it by accident, I figured it out myself :-P

And no, it doesn't help, I actually tried doing the upgrade but without success..

[Barabajagal]

I don't usually bump old topics like this, but is that method (using createaccount2 with war3) still a capability? I'd like to get upgrading implemented in my bot, and need a way to test...

[iago]

As far as I know, there's no way to test.

Back when I was playing with this (and I might have said so in this thread, I don't remember), if you tried logging on with NLS but used the old way to create an account, it would create it and kick you off. If you then tried to log into that using NLS, it would request an upgrade. I don't remember if it was actually possible to upgrade, though.

So:
- Connect as Warcraft 3
- Create an account the way you would on OLS (SID_CREATEACCOUNT(2?))
- Reconnect as Warcraft 3
- Send SID_AUTH_ACCOUNTLOGON with that username

It should send you an upgrade request, if nothing's changed.

I vaguely remember that this didn't quite work, but give it a shot.

Yay, I'm IPBanned from Asia now. Way to go me.

Yea it is; I was just able to do it now (by changing the call to 0x53 to call 0x3D instead, and have it logon immediately after with 0x53 and not 0x3A):

[4:48:15 PM] [BNET] Proving account upgrade..

It doesn't respond still.

Yay, I'm IPBanned from Asia now. Way to go me.

I got IP'd a few times, however its not as bad as an IPBan for messing up 0x51 badly.


I just tried the account with the client.
Here's the client's response:
"The account specified is not supported by WarCraft III.

Please select 'Create New Account' and choose a new name and password."

Great, looks like its not implemented. Don't create your accounts with 0x3D on WarCraft III.

[Barabajagal]

Oh, my IP was cause I sent LogonResponse2 right after createaccount2...
And... what do you mean it's not implemented?

Only problem I've got is how to generate the ACCOUNTUPGRADEPROOF send packet... I'm trying to use BNLS to figure out exactly what to send it, but every time I send 0x08, I get disconnected.
