Topic: Which FTP server do you use for virtual domain/user hosting?

Hi, all.

We are tring integrate a FTP server with iRedMail LDAP solution, please tell us which FTP server do you use/prefer for virtual domain hosting.

Update:

  • Integrated pure-ftpd-1.0.21 with iRedMail-0.5.0 (-current). Use exist mail user as ftp user, seperate FTP data base directory as /home/ftp or whatever you want, but it can't be the same as mail storage base directory. Document is ready. 2009.06.07

Re: Which FTP server do you use for virtual domain/user hosting?

Hi,
I prefer PureFTPd. It works with sqlAuth without problems for me.

But I don´t need ftp on a (dedicated) mailserver - just Postfix, Dovecot, ClamAV, Amavis, Spamassasin or deamons like Razor or DCC should running on it.

MySQL is runnung on a centralized auth server (pureFTPd, Apache with sqlAuth and Postfix/Dovecot);
Webmail comes from a dedicated webserver.

Re: Which FTP server do you use for virtual domain/user hosting?

After do exactly follow howtoforge, I couldnot login to pure-ftpd-ldap with my current virtual postfix account. It says login authentication failed. I used Ubuntu 9.04 Server.

By the way, the configuration pure-ftp-ldap in Ubuntu 9.04 is much more difference to CentOS or RH. We have no /etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf and /etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd-ldap.conf.

You'll install pure-ftpd-ldap by

apt-get install pure-ftpd-ldap

The 1st configuration file is replaced with /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/CreateHomeDir, just do like this to set "CreateHomeDir   yes"

 echo yes >/etc/pure-ftpd/conf/CreateHomeDir

The 2nd one is replaced with /etc/pure-ftpd/db/ldap.conf, do the others like howtoforge.

Finally, I found there has no ftp-account (with uid=1000, gid-1000) to start pure-ftpd-ldap deamon. The system always uses " ... -u 1000 ..." when you do "/etc/init.d/pure-ftpd-ldap start". I tried create that ftp account (by usermod -o -uid 1000 -gid 1000) but no difference.

How can I insert the PureFTP attributes in iredadmin or do a batch job? I want a FTP info will be inserted while create new email account. It'll be perfect if you add an option on iredadmin (not copy from an existed account)

Wait for your help.

Thanks.

We already integrate pure-ftpd account info in iRedMail-x.y.z/tools/create_mail_user_OpenLDAP.sh.

For example, you can find below info in create_mail_user_OpenLDAP.sh:

# ------------------------------------------------------------------
# -------------------- Pure-FTPd Integration -----------------------
# ------------------------------------------------------------------
# Add objectClass and attributes for pure-ftpd integration.
# Note: You must inlucde pureftpd.schema in OpenLDAP slapd.conf first.
PUREFTPD_INTEGRATION='NO'
FTP_STORAGE_BASE_DIRECTORY='/home/ftp'

Set 'PUREFTPD_INTEGRATION' to 'YES', and then new users created with this script will include FTP related objectclass and attributes.

I mean through iredadmin.

How about my pure-ftpd-ldap, please!

Re: Which FTP server do you use for virtual domain/user hosting?

Yes, you should check pureftpd log file.

And i think the error was caused by incorrect permission on /home/ftp/, it can't create ftp home directory for user.

Sorry, but I already set loglevel 256. If it's not that log, where can i find it? (all log files are default dir) wink
Here is all in my /var/log/openldap.log (just renew and login with the same user)

It seems bind dn or password are incorrect (err=49).

Re: Which FTP server do you use for virtual domain/user hosting?

I can use the dn and pw to login to phpldapadmin and find all object, so it is right.
I did compile an other pure-ftpd-ldap but no difference.

I think the problem from other service (i removes appamore already). I'll search in Ubuntu area for it and discuss later.

Thanks.

Re: Which FTP server do you use for virtual domain/user hosting?

Maybe there's something error in user authentication, such as PAM module or something else.

Re: Which FTP server do you use for virtual domain/user hosting?

follow this page http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-List … 02944.html

1. Syntax error in attributetype description
The attributetype description 'FTPStatus' in the pureftpd.schema that ships
with 1.0.21-11ubuntu1 has a syntax error. The word "SYNTAX" is there twice and
should only be there once:

attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.6981.11.3.7 NAME 'FTPStatus'
DESC 'Account status: enabled or disabled'
EQUALITY booleanMatch
SYNTAX SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.7 SINGLE-VALUE )
^^^^^^
The typo invalidates the schema and slapd won't start.

2. Setting either FTPStatus TRUE or FALSE always disables logins. The Syntax rule for FTPStatus only allows to set TRUE or FALSE. pure-ftpd however expects either "enabled" or "disabled". If FTPStatus is present and neither "enabled" or "disabled" are given, pure-ftpd always assumes "disabled", which effectively disables logins if the Admin sets FTPStatus =TRUE as required by the SYNTAX definition.
Patrick Koetter

I'll try first

No, It doesn't effect! Sorry sad

Re: Which FTP server do you use for virtual domain/user hosting?

I have do it in ubuntu 9.04 and have no any problem.

I think your problem is

LDAPDefaultUID 1001   
LDAPDefaultGID 1001 

the vmail  uid and gid is 1000

check the /etc/passwd

Re: Which FTP server do you use for virtual domain/user hosting?

Solved! smile

I'm not sure if it's a problem of pure-ftpd=ldap (Ubuntu package). You can not write any comment behind a directive, like this

LDAPDefaultUID 1001      # <- UID of 'vmail' user, in file /etc/passwd

The # <- UID of 'vmail' user, in file /etc/passwd shouldn't be there.

I'm going to become an assmin after this.

Thanks for all.
