[Prometheus-library] question regarding auth - running qmail, vpopmail, courier-imap

[Nick B. <ni...@em...>]

I've got pimp setup and can login as root and as a real user on the box, but
i cannot login to a virtual domain "box".  It's entirely possible that this
is a problem with courier-imap not authenticating correctly.  I'm not sure -
still investigating...

Also, another question,

on a successful login as root or real user, it takes quite a long time
(20-30 seconds) to get from the login page to the "logged-in" page.  any
thoughts?

Overall, I'm impressed with the cleanness of pimp - simple and sweet.

Thanks in advance,

--Nick

This is a known "feature" / bug that will be fixed in the
next release.

[Prometheus-library] error when logging in

[Arjan K. <ak...@wi...>]

Hi,

I downloaded and installed, 
and had install.php3 set the mysql databases on a remote server.
(I must use a different server for now)
That all worked like a charm, but when I tried to login using root and
changme for a password it somehow fails and leaves me with a blank
loginscreen. (no errormessages found anywhere)

I also checked all the config file and made sure it looks for te right
server to mysql connect to.. 
(and off course made sure prouser is allowed to access mysql on that
server)

I'm out of ideas here.

greets,
Arjan Koole

Re: [Prometheus-library] Doubt about UnixPasswordFile() behaviour

[ZeroDiVide <ze...@ze...>]

In order for /etc/shadow to be readable via the webserver (php) it'd
have to have access fro the nobody user as for if this is php shell
script it'll still need access.

I have no write features built into that class.

The shadow file support is not in also, but might be in the next release.

[Prometheus-library] Doubt about UnixPasswordFile() behaviour

[Alejandro M. H. (ViewPoint) <ale...@vi...>]

Hi:

Im trying to write a script using  the prometheus library to change the
password of a unix user via a web browser. So first I need to know is the
user and password are Ok.

The problem is that using the following code (as in the example code):

$returns = $passwd_obj->GetPasswordEntry( $find_user );

if ( $returns[ 0 ] == 1 ) {
    // The user was found
   $found_user = $returns[ 1 ];
echo(  $found_user->passwd  );
}

I always get an X for a password:

username       password        uid       gid
 viewpnt                x                501       501

I know that this is the correct value according to /etc/passwd, the question
is, Is there a way I can get the encrypted passwd according to /etc/shadow.

I already tried :
$passwd_obj->uses_shadowed_passwords = 1;
$passwd_obj->uses_shadowed_passwords = True;
$passwd_obj->shadow_file ="/etc/shadow";

But always with the same resut.
I'm new to the prometheus library (I just found it) and to php in general,
so if sombody knows a better way to change a password via a web browser, I`m
all ears.

Just a note:
in
http://prometheus.zerodivide.net/api/docs/index.php3?api=1&docs=1&def_file=U
nixPasswordFile
In table:                Member variables ( 6 ) -
it says:                shadow file
it should say:     shadow_file

¡ I read the documentation ! and I would like to save the trouble of finding
this subtle trouble to people like my that like to "cut and paste"

Re: [Prometheus-library] Session problems with a new prometheus install

[ZeroDiVide <ze...@ze...>]

Sessions don't use cookies within prometheus. I leave it up to the
programmer to choose whether or not to use it. I may actually add it as
a additional feature for the session library. But i'm resisting it.

As for the counter not incrementing. I dunno i'd have to bet somthing
is dorked in either the retrival or set. So turning on debugging
mode and looking into the pages source for the comments that are 
generated would be the way to go.

Turning debug mode on is pretty simple :

// Replace $session_obj with whatever the current instance of the
// object is.
$session_obj->debug->On();

[Prometheus-library] Session problems with a new prometheus install

[Michael W <mi...@de...>]

I installed prometheus according to directions...  I am trying the example
Session counter page from prometheus' webpage and the counter always comes
across as 1.  It doesn't increment...  Any ideas why?  Also, I told my
browser to prompt for cookies, but I don't get prompted...  I see the
sessions db being updated, but I don't see the result in the browser..  I
don't get any error messages or anything, just the counter always shows as
1.

I would assume that the prometheus-library is to be found in
/usr/local/www/htdocs/prometheus/prometheus-library ?

If not you'll probably find that there is a issue in 2.0 that
didn't allow :

$PROMETHEUS_LIBRARY_BASE = '/myinstall path';


to work correctly.

[Prometheus-library] Help for newbie

[Dietmar S. <di...@as...>]

Hi there !

I 've just found prometheus  and I installed it as described (I think so
!).

I downloaded the examples.

When I try the examples I get :


Fatal error: User_Db is not a class in
/usr/local/www/htdocs/prometheus/example_5.php3 on line 22


Oh, of course I renamed the example to .php3

Can anybody tell me what's wrong ?


Best regards

Dietmar
