Suggestion below at the end. In the latest CVS of v2.08, we find that the RRQAuth (AliasAuth) is working fine as below:- When we put a # in the gatekeeper.ini file like:- [Gatekeeper::Auth] #SQLPasswordAuth=optional;RRQ #SQLAliasAuth=required;RRQ,ARQ In the log file we get:- 2004/04/11 14:12:24.922 1 gkauth.cxx(2323) GkAuth Unknown auth #SQLAliasAuth, ignore! 2004/04/11 14:12:24.922 1 gkauth.cxx(2323) GkAuth Unknown auth #SQLPasswordAuth, ignore! As # is a comment character, the said lines should not have been considered at all! Hope changes in the code reflecting this point will lead to faster processing. In gatekeeper.ini if we have:- [Gatekeeper::Auth] AliasAuth=required;RRQ,ARQ default=allow [RasSrv::RRQAuth] MYEP1=allow default=deny and we set ROMEO as the alias of a NetMeeting client, we get the required denial in the log as below:- terminalAlias = 1 entries { [0]=h323_ID 5 characters { 0052 004f 004d 0045 004f ROMEO } } RasSrv.cxx(984) GK RRQ Received gkauth.cxx(1835) Gk RRQAuth condition 'deny' rejected endpoint default gkauth.cxx(469) GkAuth AliasAuth check failed RasSrv.cxx(1277) RRJ|192.168.0.51|ROMEO:h323_ID|terminal|securityDenial; if we set the allowed alias (MYEP1) as the alias in the Netmeeting Client, we get the required admission in the log as below:- terminalAlias = 1 entries { [0]=h323_ID 5 characters { 004d 0059 0045 0050 0031 MYEP1 } } RasSrv.cxx(984) GK RRQ Received gkauth.cxx(1884) Gk RRQAuth condition 'allow' applied successfully for endpoint 192.168.17.51:1720 gkauth.cxx(465) GkAuth AliasAuth check ok gkauth.cxx(465) GkAuth default check ok RasTbl.cxx(59) New EP|192.168.17.011:1720|MYEP1:h323_ID|terminal|4510_isogk1 RasSrv.cxx(1239) RCF|192.168.17.1:1720|MYEP1:h323_ID|terminal|4510_isogk1; Hence in the current instance we see that AliasAuth is working well in the current release. It would be nice if:- In Toolkit.cxx why not [RasSrv::RRQAuth] be appended to, from the SQLConfig section as another Query and make a bit of code for it as:- query = m_Config->GetString("SQLConfig", "SimplePasswordAuthQuery", ""); query = m_Config->GetString("SQLConfig", "AliasAuthQuery", ""); Regards, Ap.Muthu ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
