pgpool authenticatin issues

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

 

I am running postgresql 8.3.11 and pgpool II 3.0

I am trying to get pg_pool to run on a development server.  Any userid defined with ‘trust’ level

Access works fine, but having issues with ids defined with md5 level therefore requiring a password.

 

Reading the pgpool doc (http://pgpool.projects.postgresql.org/pgpool-II/doc/)

I see that in order to enable md5 access I need to use the pg_md5 function to initialize the /usr/local/etc/pool_passwd file:

 

Login as DB user and type "pg_md5 --md5auth " user name and md5 encrypted password is registered

  into pool_passwd. If pool_passwd does not exist yet, pg_md5 command will automatically create it for you

 

I have set my postgres database password as ‘steben’

I bolden my comments here simply for clarity.

My attempt to follow the directions above results in:

 

[postgres@festiva data]$ pg_md5 --md5auth

Usage:

 

  pg_md5 [OPTIONS]

  pg_md5 <PASSWORD>

 

  --prompt, -p    Prompt password using standard input.

  --md5auth, -m   Produce md5 authentication password.

  --help, -h      This help menu.

 

Warning: At most 32 characters are allowed for input.

Warning: Plain password argument is deprecated for security concerns

         and kept for compatibility. Please prefer using password

         prompt.

 

So I try putting my password in first:

 

pg_md5 steben --md5auth

2011-02-08 16:33:44 DEBUG: pid 27217: num_backends: 0 total_weight: 0.000000

 

This gives the following result:

[postgres@festiva etc]$ less pool_passwd

 

postgres:md553b0e3d546770470d94e0e0bb3b5d24f

 

But when I use the –p switch on pg_md5 I get a different result:

[postgres@festiva etc]$ pg_md5 -p

password: (I enter “steben” here)

Could you shed any light as to what I’m doing wrong?  Thank you,

# pgpool Client Authentication Configuration File
# ===============================================
#
# The format rule in this file follows the rules in the PostgreSQL
# Administrator's Guide. Refer to chapter "Client Authentication" for a
# complete description.  A short synopsis follows.
#
# This file controls: which hosts are allowed to connect, how clients
# are authenticated, which user names they can use, which databases they
# can access.  Records take one of these forms:
#
# local      DATABASE  USER  METHOD  [OPTION]
# host       DATABASE  USER  CIDR-ADDRESS  METHOD  [OPTION]
# hostnossl  DATABASE  USER  CIDR-ADDRESS  METHOD  [OPTION]
#
# (The uppercase items must be replaced by actual values.)
#
# The first field is the connection type: "local" is a Unix-domain socket,
# "host" is a plain TCP/IP socket since pgpool currently doest not support
# SSL connection. "hostnossl" is also a plain TCP/IP socket.
#
# DATABASE can be "all", "sameuser", a database name, or a comma-separated
# list thereof. Note that "samegroup" like in PostgreSQL's pg_hba.conf
# file is not supported, since pgpool does not know which group a user
# belongs to. Also note that the database specified here may not exist in
# the backend PostgreSQL. pgpool will authenticate based on the database's
# name, not based on whether it exists or not.
#
# USER can be "all", a user name, or a comma-separated list thereof.  In
# both the DATABASE and USER fields you can also write a file name prefixed
# with "@" to include names from a separate file. Note that a group name
# prefixed with "+" like in PostgreSQL's pg_hba.conf file is not supported
# because of the same reason as "samegroup" token. Also note that a user
# name specified here may not exist in the backend PostgreSQL. pgpool will
# authenticate based on the user's name, not based on whether he/she exists.
#
# CIDR-ADDRESS specifies the set of hosts the record matches.
# It is made up of an IP address and a CIDR mask that is an integer
# (between 0 and 32 (IPv4) that specifies the number of significant bits in
# the mask.  Alternatively, you can write an IP address and netmask in
# separate columns to specify the set of hosts.
#
# METHOD can be "trust", "reject", "md5" or "pam".  Note that "pam" sends passwords
# in clear text.
#
# OPTION is the name of the PAM service. Default service name is "pgpool"
#
# Database and user names containing spaces, commas, quotes and other special
# characters must be quoted. Quoting one of the keywords "all" or "sameuser"
# makes the name lose its special character, and just match a database or
# username with that name.
#
# This file is read on pgpool startup.  If you edit the file on a running
# system, you have to restart the pgpool  for the changes to take effect.

# Put your actual configuration here
# ----------------------------------
#
# If you want to allow non-local connections, you need to add more
# "host" records. In that case you will also need to make pgpool listen
# on a non-local interface via the listen_addresses configuration parameter.
#

# TYPE  DATABASE    USER        CIDR-ADDRESS          METHOD

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local   all            mavmail                       md5
local   all            postgres                      md5
local   all            msteben                       md5

# IPv4 local connections:
host    all            mavmail         127.0.0.1/32  md5
host    all            mavmail     192.168.1.221/32  md5

# PCP Client Authentication Configuration File
# ============================================
#
# This file contains user ID and his password for pgpool
# communication manager authentication.
#
# Note that users defined here do not need to be PostgreSQL
# users. These users are authorized ONLY for pgpool 
# communication manager.
#
# File Format
# ===========
#
# List one UserID and password on a single line. They must
# be concatenated together using ':' (colon) between them.
# No spaces or tabs are allowed anywhere in the line.
#
# Example:
# postgres:e8a48653851e28c69d0506508fb27fc5
#
# Be aware that there will be no spaces or tabs at the
# beginning of the line! although the above example looks
# like so.
#
# Lines beginning with '#' (pound) are comments and will
# be ignored. Again, no spaces or tabs allowed before '#'.
