I checked relay system using IP address it working gr8, but I want to implement user based authorization in relay server. but no idea where to make changes in sendmail.mc.. and my outlook asking for password again and again..whats role of openssl in user based authentication ?

Aug 22 23:47:34 amd64 postfix/smtpd[22298]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms
Here's this section of dovecot.conf:
auth default {
mechanisms = plain login
passdb pam {
}
[Code]....
I'm using postfix with unix accounts for a while now and I just realized today that SASL authentication, instead of working only with the USERNAME, it also works if the username is followed by ANYDOMAIN.COM
So, let's say I have the following UNIX users: tim, mike, john. If I set the Outgoing Username:[URL]..(where whatever.com can be any name you can think of) IT WORKS, even though it shouldn't, it should only work with tim, mike and john without any domain name. Does anyone know what might cause this and what's the workaround to this problem?
I am running the following on CentOS 5.5 (Final)
dovecot 1.0.7
saslauthd 2.1.22
When I send an email via TLS I see the following log entries.
Code:
Oct 14 11:53:06 ns2 postfix/smtpd[11372]: connect from unknown[172.16.1.159]
Oct 14 11:53:06 ns2 postfix/smtpd[11372]: setting up TLS connection from unknown[172.16.1.159]
[Code]....
What I'm really curious about is there is an intial TLS connection with a 256 bit cipher, but then.. The last entry states "sasl_method=PLAIN" - so surely this is not encrypted? Or am I misunderstanding how it works?
I am re setting up a server of mine running red hat enterprise Linux server 6 and I had all of this working befor but for some reason I had troubles getting sasl to work and now when I login my smtp server I get an error stating that my username or password is incorrect though I am sure I am entering both correctly. Would anyone know what could be happening? I have been spending days on the web looking for the solution and only went from sasl not working when started as a service to this. For some reason I can't use Pam with saslauthd and had to use shadow instead of which from what I hear I get to use better methods of secure authentication with smtp
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been faithfully following the postfix/sasl/etc install docs from [URL] and seem to have hit a minor snag with SASL authentication for SMTP. KMail cryptically leaves me with a generic auth fail notice and tailing the mail logs gives me

If I am running a script, let's say a install script. Is there a way to make Su repeat authentication rather then just returning "Authentication failed" and continuing the script?

The OS version: OPEN SUSE 11.3 Server installation (NO-GUI)
I've been using Ubuntu since 6.04, not a linux guru by any means but can usually get myself out of trouble.
So, the issue... I installed 8.04 on my mother's laptop some time back as she was having trouble keeping Win 2000 running (she has a low spec no-name generic laptop btw). I live in Autsralia and she in England, i thought i could better support her if she was running Ubuntu... All has been well with 8.04 but with the new LTS release (10.04) i thought i'd talk her through the upgrade... Did the online upgrade via Update Manager, all seemed to go OK but when she went to log on after restart she got an error saying 'authentication failed' even though we are 100% sure we have the user name and password correct... Tried to do a ctrl+alt+F1 to by pass the GUI log on but couldn't get the terminal session to open up, just got a black screen - no command prompt.
So... thought OK re-install... downloaded the ISO, burned and sent her a CD in the post... talked her through the re-install, all seemed to go well (again) - BUT, after restart, couldn't log in "authentication failed" again...
So, remember i'm trying to talk a novice through all this... any thoughts!?!
If i can get her to log in i can then support her via some kind of remote sesion or other screen share... and it wont cost me a small fortune in international calls!!! But if i can't get a log in, i'm dead in the water!?
I have just installed Fedora 15 on my laptop, Now i am trying to install some programs like .... skype, drivers to my printer etc but i get this message: Failed to obtain authentication.... when the installer is trying to solve dependensies...
I have tried to log in as su but i cant that ether due to fail password or username... that is the message i get at the log inn screen.
I'm wasting hours on this problem: I'm setting up an always-connectable VNC server loaded via xorg.conf.
This is what I did: yum install vnc-server
I wanted to install it on a secondary computer in my house for web browsing and little-to-nothing more.
How can I fix or get around the error 'Authentication failed' when attempting to login?
I just installed openSUSE. The installation seemed to go well. After installation, everything loaded up and I was using the OS with no problems.
I restarted the computer to change my boot sequence in the BIOS. Then I got to the openSUSE login screen. I was presented with three options:
1. my username - When I enter in the password I specified during the OS installation it says "Authentication failure"
2. Automatic Login - just says "Permission denied"
3. Other... - Nothing seems to work here
How can I login?

I have been used NX client on windows 7 connected to ubuntu with NX client/node/server with no issues. The matter started when I have formatted Ubuntu and reinstalled NX, from that NX connects but shows a key error as follows:
NX> 203 NXSSH running with pid: 4328
NX> 285 Enabling check on switch command
NX> 285 Enabling skip of SSH config files
[code]....
I just finished following the instructions found here to install FreeNX on my ubuntu 10.04 server. It went smoothly, just used the default keys.Once I had that all set up I scrolled down and followed the instructions to set up the client and that went fine as well.My problem is with actually using the program.When I try to log in I get the error "Authentication failed for user tony" (my username). Do I need to change anything in the configuration other than setting it to use gnome and putting in the host address?oes it make a difference that my ssh settings only allow rsa login? I logged into the server with ssh to see if that helped but it did not. I even tried using the ssh key with the FreeNX Client but that did not work
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to setup Postfix along with dovecot on RHEL4. I have done the necessary settings in dovecot.conf, yet I am not able to log into the POP3 server. The error I can see through WireShark/Ethereal is "Err- Authentication failed" Some of the important settings in /etc/dovecot.conf are
disable_plaintext_auth = no
auth_mechanisms = plain
auth_userdb = passwd
auth_passdb = pam
auth_user = root
The users/passwords are setup on Linux file system without MQSql or any other database. SASL etc is not configured at all.
i am using fedora 12(32 bit),when i tryed to uninstall program pidgin from system->administration->add/remove programs i got an error message saying tat YOU FAILED TO PROVID PROPER AUTHENTICATION,so i was jst wondering if we can sign in as root through gui.the problem with my pidgin app was that whenever i tryed to start that application, it appears for like 4-5 sec and then disappears! so i thought of reinstalling the pidgin.

If your machine is connected to the Internet, you'll probably want to disallow ssh password authentication (which is advised but not mandatory). Edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and change/add the following lines:
PasswordAuthentication no
AllowUsers nx
Don't forget to restart the sshd daemon after making that change: service sshd restart I already have PasswordAuthentication yes in my file as I need it to login to the server through ssh. Do I just skip that line and only add AllowUsers nx mynxuser at the end? Also, I followed the rest of the manual and when I tried the client on Windows it failed: I put in a user and password to login but shouldn't it be using the key instead? I think the problem is related to the above due to:

I apologize first because I do not know if this is the right section for my problem, but I could not find anything more suitable. I have an Asus 900 with Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10:04 In a nutshell: I realized today, trying to install a new program with Ubuntu Software Center, that I can not anymore authenticate myself as root. Of course I have not changed the password, but the old one is not anymore accepted ("Authentication failed").
The interesting thing is that I can install programs without problems (using the same old password) with the package manager in Administrative Tools (synaptic). Here, the authentication works well. Opening a terminal, I can use sudo to run any command by providing my password, with no problem at all. Following some guides found on the web, I reset the root password (supplying the same one as before) and everything went well. Only .... nothing has changed! Ubuntu center software authentication always fails.
What could have happened? Maybe I did some mistake by editing /etc/sudoers to solve another problem some days ago. Ubuntu told me that my username was not in the sudoers file, so I resolved it by adding to /etc/sudoers the line myusername ALL = (ALL) ALL
I checked the contents of the file and, apart from this line added, it is as it was before (I compared with that on another PC with Ubuntu). Can anyone make some sense out of it? Starting from the fact that the package manager does function ... but software center does not.
I spend all day, trying to make bluetooth working with my phone Nokia 2600. First, i try'it with bluez-utils 3.7, and later with 3.9, but i no luck. So, what i have.

Then i try pairing with my phone, using "auth", but here i got error: HCI authentication request failed: Input/output error

I'm extremely new to SuSE Linux. I wanted to move away from Windows and so I decided to reload my Desktop with SuSE linux.I have had no trouble until now. I'm trying to connect to my work VPN connection. From my laptop (which unfortunately is Vista) I'm able to connect without any issues. However, when I tried out the KVPN application on my SuSE linux, it just doesn't work. I get the error:
Authentification has failed.
As a side note, when I type ping google, the packets are received 100% but when I ping my company address, no packets are received. Hope this info is useful.
the laptop of my friend runs ubuntu through wubi. The system suddenly freezed and she restarted it manually. After doing a check disk and automatically repaired some packages(unfortunately she doesn't remember what exactly, only just inode information appeared), she can't log in as when she types her username and password the answer is authentication failed. We tried to change the password through recovery mode but nothing happened.
1. Do you have something to propose to solve the login problem?
2. If not how can i access and back up her ubuntu documents through windows?
I'm trying to restrict command line ssh and yet keep NoMachine working, so I followed this post [URL]... and tried adding this to /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

I want to use nomachine, instead of freenx, and well it isn't working. SSH server works and all, because freenx works., same for neatx. But I hear with nomachine you can see the main display of the computer? Is this true? Well one way to find out, but whenever I try to login I get: Authentication failed for user x. I don't know why, neatx and freenx worked, even x2go, but not this.
