View 8 Replies View RelatedServer :: Firefox - Unable To Access VsFTPd Directory. Connection Times Out After Authentication
Apr 13, 2011Seismicmike here. My first post. I'll try to be as clear and concise as possible. For the sake of this post, I'm going to use 1.2.3.4 as a place holder for my public IP. On my web server, I would like to be able to access the /var/ftp directory through a web browser. I have successfully done so with Google Chrome, but I cannot access the directory in Firefox or IE. Both FF and IE ask me for authentication but then time out attempting to load the directory.
I suspect that there may be something up with switching to passive mode and/or that this issue may be more with my configuration of Firefox and not with the server (seeing as how Chrome works). Another possibility may be related to SSL. When I connect with FileZilla, I have to use the FTP over Explicit SSL/TLS option in order to connect. In any case I still would like to fix it. I would also like to avoid having to install FireFTP if at all possible.
Steps to reproduce (not that you can without my actual IP =J):
* Open Chrome
* Go to ftp://1.2.3.4
* Enter username
* Enter password
[code]....

Jan 17, 2011I need to make a choice on what authentication protocol I want to use for Authentication and Authorization. I was looking at Radius and then literature suggested that Diameter was a better protocol. Keep in mind I need this on a hetrogeneous setup ( linux & windows together). Diameter seemed like a good fit until I discovered that the open source code no longer seems to be maintained ( C/C++).
I was also looking at Kerberos as an option though there is alot overhead with the server. SSL/TLS or EAP? I am looking for simple but secure and am new at the security protocols.
Ubuntu Security :: Firefox Update Do Not Have The Authority To Install
Mar 22, 2010I just got a pop up that said that there is a Firefox Ubdate that I do not have the authority to install. It gives a link of www.firefox.com to go to for the latest firefox. I checked the Update manager. No update. All of Mozilla links in google say Mozilla. I feel sure this is an attempt to install malware. It came up when I went to cnet and I guess I shoule include a picture of it. Does anybody have any experience with this?
I went on to read cnet and the first article was about major add servers serving up adds that automaticly install malware. I guess this was a case of that. I had addblocker disabled at the time but noscript active. Looks to me like having noscript saved me an infection. Be careful out there.

Apr 15, 2010Since yesterday firefox (Namoroka) has been constantly freezing; prior to yesterday it worked perfectly. I've tried un-installing and re-installing, but that didn't fix it. I even tried un-installing Namoroka and installing firefox 3.5 (via apt-get install firefox-3.5), but somehow I continue to get firefox 3.6 (aka Namoroka). Anyone know how to resolve my Namoroka issues or how to install the seemingly more stable 3.5 version? I don't know if this makes a difference, but I originally had installed ubuntu and then installed kde (kubuntu-desktop) desktop on top of it. And yes, I've checked my sources.list to make sure mozilla-daily repository is not listed.

Ubuntu Security :: How To Disable Apt Authentication Check
Apr 3, 2011having a slow internet connection, I bought the all maverick repository on DVDs, copied the files on a usb drive and modified the apt sources file to consider the local repository only:
Code:
# deb file:/var/www/ubuntu_local/ ./
deb file:/var/www/maverick/dvd1/ maverick main universe restricted multiverse
deb file:/var/www/maverick/dvd2/ maverick main universe restricted multiverse
deb file:/var/www/maverick/dvd3/ maverick main universe restricted multiverse
[code]....
Even though I am reasonably sure it is safe, this local repository is not authenticated and I can only install package through the command line or synaptic, the Ubuntu Software Centre giving an error message "Requires installation of untrusted packages"...I thus would like to disable the apt authentication check for this local repository.
Ubuntu Security :: HOTP Authentication At Login?
Jun 25, 2011Does anyone know if/how its possible to integrate HOTP authentication into GDM login manager? Basically what I want to do is have it ask for the password of the account, then another prompt come up asking for the code for the account.
I know how to set it up, but I'm know if modifying the PAM module for requiring OATH/HOTP authentication will make this happen or if it will just break the system...and this is one thing I don't want to have to fix.

Security :: Web Client Authentication Through PKI And CACs?
Jul 9, 2010I'm working on a work project related to Web (Client) authentication and DOD Common Access Cards. But I'm having difficult getting the details about what happens on the CAC side of things.
I familiar with the PKI system as it applies to e-mail. (Correct me if I err, of course.) If you want to sign an e-mail (i.e., so it can be authenticated by the receiver) you use your private key to add a digital signature to the message. Then, the receiver uses your published public key to determine if the digital signature is valid, i.e., was created using your private key (even though the receiver never actually has access to your private key).
So... my questions:
1) When a person with a DOD CAC visits a CAC-enabled web site, and the server grants access after the CAC is inserted, is the authentication process fundamentally the same as what happened with the e-mail authentication?
2) If the private key is used in this process (it would have to be, correct?) is the signature created on the CA Card electronics (i.e., the private key remains on the CAC)? Or is the private key copied onto the computer, which uses it to create the signature?
Fedora Security :: Ssh Authentication Slow From Remote?
Aug 17, 2010My server is connected to the Internet for ssh on port 22 with root logon disabled, a single non-dictionary word user name allowed, and pki authentication only (about as secure as I can make it). I've previously run fc5 and 9 servers using the same sshd config since 2006 and had no security troubles, so I'm happy, but.. After the fc13 install and configuration, logins from a host on a remote network are taking about 1m 30s to complete! A (partial) console output for ssh -vv appears below. The lines marked with "**" were the lines after which significant pauses happen. This is fully repeatable.
Code:
debug1: Next authentication method: publickey
debug1: Offering public key:
debug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply
