Re: cannot authenticate to MSSQL database from BASE

["Billy Marshall" <Billy.Marshall () state co us>]

tad,
 
To test MSSQL basic connect using ADOdb is:
 
include('/path/to/set/here/adodb.inc.php');      
$db =& ADONewConnection('odbc_mssql');
$dsn = "Driver={SQL Server};Server=localhost;Database=northwind;";
$db->Connect($dsn,'userid','password');

or if you prefer to use the mssql extension (which is limited to mssql
6.5 functionality):          $db =& ADONewConnection('mssql');
         $db->Execute('localhost', 'userid', 'password', 'northwind');

not sure if my earlier message was delivered....
I have placed the connect.php file you attached in the "base" folder on
the IIS server.
I have adjusted the authencitation info (password, etc...) for our SQL
server:
$serverName = "SERVER-B";
$usr="snort";
$pwd="mypassword";
$db="snort";

And then I attempted to test by going to
http://SERVER-C/base/connect.php ; this is the reponse I got:
"Fatal error: Call to undefined function sqlsrv_connect() in
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\base\connect.php on line 11"
In my scenario, SERVER-B is the MSSQL server and SERVER-C is the IIS
server.
Am I using the connect.php DB connection test file as you anticipated?

Thanks,
Tad.

You might be able to use the attached .php file to test the DB
connection and users credentials to the remote MSSQL database.

Subject: [Snort-users] cannot authenticate to MSSQL database from BASE



Hi,



I have managed to get Snort 2.9.2 working on Windows 2008 R2 Servers.

The generated data from Snort is being placed in an mssql database.



My setup is as follows:

- Snort on a SERVER-A

- Database (MSSQL) on SERVER-B

- Web Portal (IIS7) on SERVER-C



But I am baffled as to how I can access the Snort data from the
database.

I have installed and configured base, adodb, and php on IIS7 and all
indications are that the installs/configurations are correct.

When I access the "base" site from a browser: http://SERVER-C/base , I
get the following error:



------------------------------------------

Warning: mssql_connect() [function.mssql-connect]: Unable to connect to
server: SERVER-B in C:\WinIDS\adodb\drivers\adodb-mssql.inc.php on line
556

Error connecting to DB : snort@SERVER-B

Check the DB connection variables in base_conf.php 
= $alert_dbname : MySQL database name where the alerts are stored 
= $alert_host : host where the database is stored
= $alert_port : port where the database is stored
= $alert_user : username into the database
= $alert_password : password for the username

------------------------------------------



I have verified numberous times that the dbname, host, port, user and
password information are entered correctly in the base_conf.php file.

I have also tried changing hostname with IP and resetting the password
on the database instance with no luck.

I looked into the SQL server logs and it shows encryption is required
for this communication. The exact error message in the mssql logs is:

"Encryption is required to connect to this server but the client
library does not support encryption; the connection has been closed.
Please upgrade your client library. [CLIENT: 192.168.15.111]"



Client with IP 192.168.15.111 is SERVER-C.

My question is, how do I configure authentication encryption to access
this database from Base?





Thanks,



Tad.
