Hi, Some time back we have faced necessity of mass authorization of our VPN-clients which were connected to our server using mpd, through a MySQL-database. Thus I have made patch for mpd-3.10 for the built-in support mysql authorizations.
May be code is not very clean and well styled, but it works! It works on our servers for about 3 or 4 weeks without problems, so I decided to send it here, to hear what guru thinks about that, and also someone else can will find this thing useful to itself. Patch adds 5 new configuration directives: mysql_hostname defines a host, where mysqld is running set bundle mysql_hostname localhost mysql_database defines a database to use set bundle mysql_database users mysql_username and mysql_password defines a mysql user and password with enough privileges to make sql request, specified in mysql_sql set bundle mysql_username someuser set bundle mysql_password somepassword and mysql_sql defines an sql expression, which will be passed to mysql server to get credential for login, which is substituted instead of "%s". Expression should return one row with three fields: login, password and optionaly ip address (or NULL or empty string), just like a format for mpd.secret set bundle mysql_sql "SELECT login, password, INET_NTOA(ip) FROM users WHERE login='%s' AND active=1 LIMIT 1" MySQL authentification is used when all these directives are defines, if one of them is missing - usual mpd.secret is used. That's all. I wait with impatience for comments. -- Best regards, Vadim A. Shklyaev mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
