Mysql – Make ProFTPD only auth against MySQL (no PAM)

authenticationftpMySQLproftpd

I have successfully setup ProFTPD to use mod_sql for authentication. But I can still login with linux user's credentials, even though I've set AuthPAM off. How can I make ProFTPD to not use PAM?

Best Answer

Use both AuthPAM and AuthOrder, like this:

AuthOrder       mod_sql.c
AuthPAM         off

here's the answer for my problem:

apparently the SQLAuthenticate directive was the problem. it was set to:

SQLAuthenticate users userset

i've changed this to

SQLAuthenticate users

now authentication is fast as hell.

i've found a howto on the proftpd site, that explains why this configuration may cause problems:

Debian – bind proftpd only to localhost

Did you try using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost. Maybe /etc/hosts has something strange in there.

Failing that, the ProFTPd FAQ suggests using the Allow and Deny options, or run it from xinetd, or enable the tcp wrappers module and set that up.

Or of course you could use iptables.
