[CentOS] mysql authentication in proftpd
Hello list, I was able to get passive mode worked out. I'm really glad I was able to do this. I'm able to log into the ftp server, list directories, enter subdirectories and upload/download files. However my next task is to enable virtual users using mysql. I have installed proftpd-mysql and enabled the sql modules in the config. I found a good article on how to do this here: http://www.khoosys.net/single.htm?ipg=848 I set everything up according to this article, and authentication with the test user I have stored in the user table is failing. [root@LCENT05:~] #/usr/bin/ftp -d mydomain.net Connected to snjh.net (xx.xx.xx.xx). 220 FTP Server ready. Name (snjh.net:root): jfuser ---> USER jfuser 331 Password required for jfuser Password: ---> PASS 530 Login incorrect. Login failed. ---> SYST 215 UNIX Type: L8 Remote system type is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files. I setup a debug log session and this is what I've found: 192.168.1.30 (189.15.88.64[189.15.88.64]) - dispatching PRE_CMD command 'USER jfuser' to mod_tls 192.168.1.30 (189.15.88.64[189.15.88.64]) - dispatching PRE_CMD command 'USER jfuser' to mod_core 192.168.1.30 (189.15.88.64[189.15.88.64]) - dispatching PRE_CMD command 'USER jfuser' to mod_core 192.168.1.30 (189.15.88.64[189.15.88.64]) - dispatching PRE_CMD command 'USER jfuser' to mod_delay 192.168.1.30 (189.15.88.64[189.15.88.64]) - dispatching PRE_CMD command 'USER jfuser' to mod_auth 192.168.1.30 (189.15.88.64[189.15.88.64]) - dispatching CMD command 'USER jfuser' to mod_auth 192.168.1.30 (189.15.88.64[189.15.88.64]) - dispatching POST_CMD command 'USER jfuser' to mod_sql 192.168.1.30 (189.15.88.64[189.15.88.64]) - dispatching POST_CMD command 'USER jfuser' to mod_delay 192.168.1.30 (189.15.88.64[189.15.88.64]) - dispatching LOG_CMD command 'USER jfuser' to mod_sql 192.168.1.30 (189.15.88.64[189.15.88.64]) - dispatching LOG_CMD command 'USER jfuser' to mod_log 192.168.1.30 (189.15.88.64[189.15.88.64]) - dispatching PRE_CMD command 'PASS (hidden)' to mod_tls 192.168.1.30 (189.15.88.64[189.15.88.64]) - dispatching PRE_CMD command 'PASS (hidden)' to mod_core 192.168.1.30 (189.15.88.64[189.15.88.64]) - dispatching PRE_CMD command 'PASS (hidden)' to mod_core 192.168.1.30 (189.15.88.64[189.15.88.64]) - dispatching PRE_CMD command 'PASS (hidden)' to mod_sql_passwd 192.168.1.30 (189.15.88.64[189.15.88.64]) - dispatching PRE_CMD command 'PASS (hidden)' to mod_sql 192.168.1.30 (189.15.88.64[189.15.88.64]) - dispatching PRE_CMD command 'PASS (hidden)' to mod_vroot 192.168.1.30 (189.15.88.64[189.15.88.64]) - mod_vroot/0.8.5: vroot registered 192.168.1.30 (189.15.88.64[189.15.88.64]) - dispatching PRE_CMD command 'PASS (hidden)' to mod_delay 192.168.1.30 (189.15.88.64[189.15.88.64]) - dispatching PRE_CMD command 'PASS (hidden)' to mod_auth 192.168.1.30 (189.15.88.64[189.15.88.64]) - dispatching CMD command 'PASS (hidden)' to mod_auth 192.168.1.30 (189.15.88.64[189.15.88.64]) - USER jfuser (Login failed): No such user found. It looks like authentication is bypassing mod_sql altogether and selecting mod_auth instead. The only authentication method I have enabled in the config is mod_sql so I'm not sure why this is occuring. Here is the authentication section of my config: # Use pam to authenticate (default) and be authoritative #AuthPAMConfigproftpd #AuthOrdermod_auth_pam.c* mod_auth_unix.c AuthOrdermod_sql.c This is my sql login section: # SQL login SQLConnectInfo ftpdb@db1 proftpd secret Which I have verified does work from the ftp server: [root@VIRTCENT08:~] #mysql -uproftpd -psecret -h db1 Welcome to the MySQL monitor.

Re: [CentOS] mysql authentication in proftpd
Hi Tim, > I have installed proftpd-mysql ... I do not know the answer. On Centos 5.x I use as FTP sever the standard server VSftp. It has always worked problemlessly. For client I use Filezilla. That too just works. I do not understand why you are involving 'sql modules'. Are you trying to transfer MySQL data to a remote server? I use SSH (I think it is) from with Gnome to transfer some date between servers. Best regards, Paul Centos 5.3, 5.4, 5.5 and 5.6 with VSftp, FileZilla, MySQL etc. - They just work for me. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
