I am trying to setup a basic ldap server/client scenario. I downloaded openldap for windows and installed it. I am starting the server successfully with the command,
slapd -d 1
I tried to use various clients (commandline, LDAP Browser, phpLDAPadmin) to connect and do a search, it works with 'anonymous access' but it fails every time I try the same with root user/password and says 'failed to connect to ldap://localhost:389'. Same thing works if i connect anonymously.
What could be the problem ?
Here's my slapd.conf
ucdata-path ./ucdata
include ./schema/core.schema
pidfile ./run/slapd.pid
argsfile ./run/slapd.args
database bdb
suffix "dc=guessant,dc=org"
rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=guessant,dc=org"
rootpw secret
directory ./data
I am using Login DN as "cn=Manager,dc=guessant,dc=org" and password as "secret"
It has been fixed now .. problem was with PHP mcrypt and phpLdapAdmin. Apparantly there's an issue with PHP 5.2. and figured out that upgrading to 5.3 + or removing mcrypt usage, would fix it. I chose the later, for the timebeing atleast

I have just installed MariaDB 10.4 using Home Brew. I was finally able to set the root password, and I am now trying to enable network access.
I think have added the correct directive:
bind-address=0.0.0.0
The thing is, is it to the correct my.cnf? I have tried adding it to /usr/local/etc/my.cnf as well as to a my.cnf I found in various Cellar directories.
It doesn’t seem to work. I get the message
Host … is not allowed to connect to this MariaDB server
even when I try from the local machine.
Am I setting the directive in the wrong file, or is there something else I should be doing.
Check that your user have the privilege to access the database from remote by running:
SELECT User, Host FROM mysql.user
Check also that you don't have the skip_networking configuration property set.
Read also the following documentation page: Configuring MariaDB for Remote Client Access
I builded MariaDB 10.4 using GitHub source on CentOS 8.
(https://mariadb.com/kb/en/get-build-and-test-latest-mariadb-the-lazy-way/)
But mariadb-secure-installation is not working.
There is no error when running it. But nothing works. For example, changing the root password or deleting an anonymous account does not work.
What should I check?
thank you.
I figured out why.
https://serverfault.com/a/897341
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/authentication-plugin-unix-socket/
In MariaDB 10.4.3 and later, the unix_socket authentication plugin is installed by default, so if you do not want it to be available by default on those versions, then you will need to disable it.
there are two solutions.
disable unix_socket authentication
# /etc/my.cnf.d/server.cnf
[mariadb]
...
unix_socket=OFF
# or
disable_unix_socket
...
set client to use TCP protocol
# /etc/my.cnf.d/client.cnf
[client]
protocol=tcp
or using '-h' option
# mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u root -p
I use JDBC and Spring Boot 2.2.2 to connect to a MariaDB instance. The login fails with this message:
Caused by: java.sql.SQLInvalidAuthorizationSpecException: Could not
connect to
address=(host=server.company.domain)(port=3306)(type=master) : Access
denied for user 'user'#'server.company.domain' (using password:
YES)
When I run mysqldump -u"user" -p"password" -h server.company.domain dbname this works just fine !
Both the dump and the Spring Boot application are run from the same machine (the database server itself)
user and password used are identical
there are no special characters in the password or the user (only lower/uppcase characters and digits)
the jdbc connection string looks like this: jdbc:mariadb://server.company.domain:3306/dbname
I already tried to use localhost instead of the server name
when I change jdbc url, user and password the same application is able log in to my development mariaDB
It seems like you are having trouble with MariaDB, not spring-boot itself.
I suggest you to follow this links: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/configuring-mariadb-for-remote-client-access/, and come back if it didn't solve your problem, with what you tried, and what didn't work.
I ran a short SHOW GRANTS; via the mysql command which is able to connect to the database. The output gave me this:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'user'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD 'nonono' REQUIRE SSL WITH GRANT OPTION
The relevant part is REQUIRE SSL: connections to that server need to be done encrypted.
When I checked the files in /etc/my.cnf.d/ I found a file containing (amongst others) these lines:
[server]
ssl=1
ssl-cert=/path/to/certificate/cert.pem
By googling a bit I found this link which describes how to set the JDBC driver to use ssl. It also explains to you why you perhaps should think twice before setting trustServerCertificate to true.
My spring.datasource.url now looks like this:
jdbc:mariadb://server.company.domain:3306/dbname?useSSL=true&trustServerCertificate=true&serverSslCert=/path/to/certificate/cert.pem
To put it short: Access denied for user doesn't tell the complete story. It makes you think that your password might be wrong but you are denied for other reasons.
Part of an install includes a postgres database install. The database is running and the App that uses it is connecting fine.
I want to use the postgres install for some of my own reporting needs. I've got a fair way to getting to the database but I am stumped at the last bit.
I can do a psql -h /path/to/socket but get
psql: FATAL: authentication failed for user "postgres": invalid authentication method.
I have gone in to the pg_hba.conf and the only lines not commented are:
local all all trust
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust
host all all ::1/128 trust
As far as I can see this should mean any local attempt at connection would be trusted and therefore OK.
I've tried with specifying different users (root, me, etc) and always get the same reply. Any ideas how I can access the server?
I got my new lion machine. Ran the PostgreSQL installer from the PostgreSQL site for Mac and i have no multiple apps installed. One of them is "pgAdmin III.app". When I open it there is already one server connection available. localhost:5432
Whenever I try to connect to the server with a doubleclick the programm asks me for a password. I have no idea what to enter. It's not my admin password, it's not "postgres", it's not "localhost", it's not empty.
I just can't seem to connect to the server. Even when I check the properties of the localhost server the password field seems empty. However I'm not allowed to leave the password field empty.
Any idea what to do? I really need to setup postgres?
On my Mac OSX Lion, PostgreSQL configuration files are stored under /Library/PostgreSQL/9.0/data/
Haven't tried it on OSX, but on Ubuntu you can login as the system user 'postgres' to the default database 'postgres' without a password with
su postgres -c psql
You can then (re)set the password of the database superuser 'postgres'.
You can also edit the configuration file pg_hba.conf (don't know where it is located on a default OSX installation, on Ubuntu it is /etc/postgresql/8.4/main/pg_hba.conf) and grant access to the default database without authentication
# TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD
host postgres postgres 127.0.0.1/32 trust
After editing pg_hba.conf you must reload the configuration with
pg_ctlcluster 8.4 main reload
You can then connect with pgAdmin and (re)set the password, but don't forget to change the authentication method back to md5 again...
here's a better answer (works in OSX HighSierra): the account used is the one you're logged onto OSX with, therefore, the password is your password!
A similar question has been asked a short time ago. The steps described there should be appropriate for Lion also.
Postgresql: password authentication failed for user "postgres"
