Ubuntu Servers :: Can't Seem To Get Authentication To Work Properly?
Aug 23, 2010
I have set up an apache 2 server, but can't seem to get authentication to work properly. I have set up this in my apache2.conf:
Code:
<Directory /var/www>
AllowOverride AuthConfig
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www>
AuthType Basic
[Code]...
I have created the passwords file with htpasswd and defiantly have the right password for bob. However, when I try to log in the box just comes up over and over again and never authenticates. What am I doing wrong? I'm a newbie, so please bear with me if I've missed something really stupid.

On Ubuntu server 10.10, with a relay smtp server with authentication via postfix; I keep getting 535: Incorrect authentication data. I'm sure my username and password is correct. Heres how I set up postfix: I created a file called smarthosts.conf in my /etc/postfix/ directory that contains the following:
[Code].....
my server uses plain text authentication on port 25. I would like to use security like SSL, but this particular server is unsecured.

My first post here. I've been using Ubuntu to run our internal mail server for a while now on Ubuntu server 9.04 and ISPconfig 2. I've read a lot of threads on poeple that have difficulty connecting to their server using SSH from outside the LAN and it is not the same problem I have. Well, not entirely the same.
My problem is that my authentication fails from outside the LAn, but I can connect to the SSH port from outside my LAN. The other threads pointed towards checking the router port forwarding etc, but I can see my SSH log in asking for my username and password. So, at this stage I know the port forwarding worked, otherwise I wouldn't even see the log in prompt.
Has anyone see this before where you can connect, but the authentication fails? I can use the correct username and password from inside the LAN, but using the same credentials from outside fails.

I try to install a server based on Ubuntu. It will provide many different services as SMTP, IMAP, Jabber, SVN(via Apache),maybe a groupware and some other web applications.I'm looking for a way of authenticating the same set of users (a user essentially has a username, a domain it is belonging to and some passwords) against all of the services.What is the most flexible and elegant way? I need a method which is not too bloated (mysql or ldap would be okay) and is easily applyable to all those services and all services which maybe will come later.
I've read some documentation about sasl, mysql-authentication, ldap-authentication, pam, cyrus, apache, ... and i'm somewhat confused now about the proper way.For now I suspect MySQL to be the best method for that, but i'm not sure about the flexibility for embedding it into all the services.

Ever since installing 10.04 my fonts won't work. I've installed MS True Type every possible way I can and they still won't work.
After installing they seem fine in all applications, except on the internet. Both FF and Chrome can't seem to read (MSTT) fonts, at all. Every website I open fonts are displayed the same as before I install MS True Type.

I've just installed Ubuntu Server for the first time with the goal as setting it up as a proxy server for our Apple computers here since I can get neither ISA of OS X Server's firewall to play properly. So far I have the machine authenticating against our OS X OpenLDAP server and multiple NIC's setup ready to be connected to the outside world. My question is does anyone have a preference on what proxy I should be using? So far my search efforts seem to of turned up Squid Proxy as a favorite among Ubuntu users but I can't seem to work out how to get it authenticating against my OpenLDAP server.

I have set up a Ubuntu server to handle Dan's Guardian for protection of the children. I need next to set up a centralized file server and some kind of authentication method.
We are dual booting the computers just now since we need to use "Rosetta Stone" language software and they will not release a certain plugin for Linux according to our assigned help person. We also use pure Windows XP in some classrooms for now, and will do so until the school's children gets used to Ubuntu.
So, what is the best authentication method for a mixed environment? Where might I find a Ubuntu "howto" on the method?
What is the best way to set up a file server? Howto? Can the box running Dan's Guardian also be the authentication box and file server? (it is our newest box, only 2 years old and has a large hard drive)

To begin, this is the thread that I always use to set up my Ubuntu boxes for AD authentication:
[URL]
I've had this 10.04 server running for about three months with AD authentication running on it perfect. I have multiple Samba shares that authenticate from AD as well. For some reason, this week it decided to completely stop accepting any authentication from AD.
I checked all of my config files, they are all untouched. I have restarted the machine multiple times. I have unjoined and rejoined the domain on the Ubuntu server. I have no audit failures in my security logs on the domain controller.
Output of /var/log/auth.log whenever I try to log on via an AD user:
Code:
Nov 4 11:58:50 caribbean sshd[1869]: Invalid user justin from 10.3.17.12
Nov 4 11:58:50 caribbean sshd[1869]: Failed none for invalid user justin from 10.3.17.12 port 54738 ssh2
Nov 4 11:58:51 caribbean sshd[1869]: pam_winbind(sshd:auth): getting password

i am taking another stab at this. The last time i attempted it, it seemed like everyone had a different way to do it, but nobody could give me an answer on how to do it...
I currently have a Domain Controller Running sme server and a domain controller, using ldap as a backend. I have two file servers runing ubuntu 10.04. My overall goal is to have it so when i create a username on the domain controller, it is then automatically copied over to the fileservers. This way everyone will have their own username and password to access the fileservers and ill be able to track what people do on the fileservers.
The next necessity is for me to be able to apply permissions to the folders on the fileserver based on the users that are created on the domain controller.

I am running a ubuntu server and want to host a web application (php/mysql based) however I dont want to use usernames and passwords for authentication. I'd like to use a client certificate. The military uses similar technology using the CAC card to provide the certificate for authentication.
not sure if this would be done using the apache modules or if php would be a better place to play with this

I have found a login script I want to use for a website I am making. I have followed the instructions on here but don't know how to actually use the .php files properly. I open the .php file in my browser and it gives me the option of downlaoding it. How do I get it to work? I know you normally need to provide options to a php script, as far as I have seen, but I don't know how to.

When I am upgrading, installing something or doing something that requires me to be Authenticated by using my password I just type it in and hit enter. However, each time I just click return after typing in the password it does not work. The window accepts my password but thats it and the window just sits there until it times out a few mins later. For this to work properly I have to type the password and then use the mouse to click the Authentication button. Why is this? Is there a way to solve this so I can just type in my password and click return like I do with everything else?

I am trying to install some packages in a ubuntu 8.10 server, however, apt-get doesn't work (I get several 'not found' errors). Is there any way to do that? I know this version is probably not supported anymore but I can't just format a customer server because it's OS is outdated...I just can't put my sources.list on it because I am on ubuntu 10.10 and it would download updates for the wrong OS probably causing a huge damage on the old one.

I just installed kubuntu 9.10 on my new PC (HP Pavillion). I'm new to ubuntu, I had some experience before with mandriva.Most things work properly but there is a strange problem with the mouse (USB), and more precisely with that little wheel which stands between the two buttons. Turning it when the pointer is on some web page (using firefox) I expect the page to scroll. So I turn the wheel in one direction and the page scroll up. Good!I tried with other programs (konqueror, kmail)... and still the same happens, I can only scroll to the top.

My system is
Code:
We use courier mail server for pop3 mailboxes, and postfix for in/out mail delivery
Code:
Now Pop3 users, could not authenticate with there username/pass
It does not work now, and I have this message in my log file
Code:
I could see in my postfix.main
Code:
And I could successful run query from mysql
Code:
I tried to change the password for this user, insert new user to the same tables, but no success to authenticate
I suppose that the problem is authentication of courier mail demon (which in my mind ) should work with mysql 'mail' database in the way is postfix work
Code:
I could not find any reference with courir demon to mysql database username,password to authenticate users..
So, my quetions is, if it's possible to tracert mysql db to find out if courier demon 'asking' for authentication, or is there any error with this, and which configuration file should be checked, in order to find out what authentication method is courier mail demon use for.

I would like to configure Squid and DansGuardian that way, that it's a Proxy with Authentication via Website. That means: A new Notebook gets about DHCP the Network-Information like IP-Adress etc.. When he now tries to open a Internet connection it should check if he's authenticated and if not he should get (if this try is from a browser) a login screen in http. It should also not be possible to have internetconnection without being logged in. The clients are Windoze, Mac and Linux. My question now. What programms/deamons are there for doing this authentication. Would you decide for another Programm instead of Squid?
