Google has officially retired the reCAPTCHA 1.0 service, which we utilized for our Captcha service for unregistered senders.  This article contains the patches as well as the instructions to update to reCAPTCHA 2.0.  These are drop-in patches and do not require a version update.   2018 and later versions are already designed to use reCAPTCHA 2.0.




First, download the patch for your appropriate version:

2017(9.0)
2017 Plus(9.5)
2017 Plus SP1(9.6)


Next, follow the steps below to update your software to use reCAPTCHA 2.0.

-Copy the midmz.dll file into the WWWroot/Bin folder, overwriting the one that is there
-Copy the rest of the folders in the zip into the WWWroot/Templates folder, replacing the single file that each one contains in each destination.
-Start the web services.


Finally, configure your google account to use reCAPTCHA 2.0

-Go to: https://www.google.com/recaptcha and click on "Get reCAPTCHA" while logged in with a Google account.
It will list any sites you already have registered.
-In the "Register a new site" section, click on reCAPTCHA v2
-Enter a descriptive "label" and add the domain or IP address of your MOVEi Transfer server.
-Accept the terms of service.

Google's site will give you two keys, one public, one private.
- Save these and configure in your MOVEit server under Settings - Ad Hoc Transfer - Access - Unregistered Senders.
- Set "Can unregistered users send packages to registered users" to "Yes", select "Allow Unregistered Uses to answer a Captcha question" and enter the public and private keys. Also remember to add a "Remote Access Rule" at the bottom of the Unregistered Senders page.
-From the Sign On screen click on "Register and Send Files" and you will see the new v2 prompt that says "I'm not a Robot".
