Title: login with nxencpasswd not working
Post by: Woody on January 13, 2020, 11:12:19 PM

Hello,
i want to encrypt my database password with nxencpasswd. At first i executed this command:


# nxencpasswd netxms 'k081vv3C$UKe7z!ysP4Yf408^4m78SGF'
gyuWboDpO52LQYPeHCQ6LlksHezjf3cJmhb5/VpmgJE=

Than i edited my /etc/netxmsd.conf to this:

Code Select


## Option #3 - MySQL:
DBDriver=mysql.ddr
DBServer=10.10.11.20
DBName=netxms
DBLogin=netxms
DBEncryptedPassword=gyuWboDpO52LQYPeHCQ6LlksHezjf3cJmhb5/VpmgJE=

Now i started netxmsd service and got this error:

Code Select


2020.01.13 20:57:49.856 Log file opened (rotation policy 2, max size 16777216)

I hope someone knows what the problem is.
Thanks in advance!

On my system this encoded password is different:

Code Select

➜ ~ nxencpasswd netx 'k081vv3C$UKe7z!ysP4Yf408^4m78SGF'
STeHwaoRxKBJIy3cwcleEAcdrDERe/54rbusH9c57kA=

Do you use prepackaged binaries or do you compile netxms yourself?

I made a mistake in my previous post. I corrected my old post. This is why your encoded password is different. I installed NetXMS from packages.

nxencpasswd does not support passwords longer than 32 symbols, you have 33:

Code Select

➜ orig git:(master) ✗ nxencpasswd netxms 'k081vv3C$UKe7z!ysP4Yf408^4m78SGF'
gyuWboDpO52LQYPeHCQ6LlksHezjf3cJmhb5/VpmgJE=
➜ orig git:(master) ✗ nxencpasswd netxms 'k081vv3C$UKe7z!ysP4Yf408^4m78SG'
gyuWboDpO52LQYPeHCQ6LlksHezjf3cJmhb5/VpmgJE=
➜ orig git:(master) ✗ nxencpasswd netxms 'k081vv3C$UKe7z!ysP4Yf408^4m78S'

Okay, thank you very much! :D Now it's working.
Can you change this limitation in future releases of NetXMS, because many passwords are longer than 32 symbols. When you see it from security perspective, you shouldn't limt the password length with such a "low" limit. Now 32 symbols are quite "okay", but I think in future this limitation could be critical.

Hi,

I just increased maximum password length for nxencpasswd in 3.2 branch.

Best regards,
Victor
