Ser Version: ser 0.8.11rc4 (i386/linux) – Downloaded from http://iptel.org/ser/tarball

 

After downloading the .tgz on August 23:

 

  1. Installed latest version of MySQL
  2. ran: make all
  3. ran: make install
  4. performed steps outlined in Dan Austin’s HOWTO to enable MySQL authentication in ser.cfg
  5. Added user/s
  6. Restarted ser

 

I noticed that users not in the database could still register with ser.

 

FHI - There seams to be a discrepancy between Dan Austin’s HOWTO and the INSTALL document on http://iptel.org. Dan’s only mentioned uncommenting /usr/lib/ser/modules/mysql.so where the INSTALL document mentions loadmodule "/usr/local/lib/ser/modules/auth.so" as well. The reality is, there is a third line namely loadmodule "/usr/local/lib/ser/modules/auth_db.so". Regardless, I tried all variations.

 

Just to be sure, I re-installed the MySQL module: make include_modules=mysql install
 
Any ideas why my test users can still register without authentication? Why my users with valid accounts added via serctl seem to register rather than authenticate?
 
Thanks,
