EQemu Login Server

Sylaei · #1 08-02-2009, 02:55 PM

I am unable to login using the eqemuloginserver. I have followed these instructions: http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=ValesEQ and http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/sho...0&postcount=41 from nosfentora. I can't find any error messages in any log files about the no user account or incorrect password. Obviously the error message itself is from Everquest and not the emulator.

Created a server with 774 and revision 859 on the db. Also I have tried logging in with both Titanium and SOF.

Thanks

Ok, I'm going to admit that I don't know much about encryption but the only way I was able to login was to set my password as '11111111'. I had to use 8, 7 wouldn't work for me. A password with 8 chars wouldn't work, and a password with 8 2's would not work.

I assume that it must be some kind of fluke that this worked for me, but I wanted to mention it in case there was some error with the encryption.

Just a guess on my part.

Wow, I must say I didn't toy with any password under 8 characters before, but first password I created for 6 characters (4 numbers and 2 letters) worked. Not sure why 8 characters (all letters) didn't work before, but I don't really care so long as it works now. Thanks for the idea.

Do you mean you put the pw in plain-text as '11111111'? If so, you need to run a query

Code:

update tblLoginServerAccounts set AccountPassword=sha('<your password') where AccountName='<your account name>'

I was able to log in if all ip's involved were internal ip's (ie 192.168.xxx.xxx) or localhost. I wasn't able to login using any external ip's, even with all the ports forwarded to the corresponding internal ip's.

haven't had much time to play with it of late.

Nos, I have had trouble in the past getting people to be able to log in from external addresses. I had to setup the eqemu_config.xml file with the dns name. I got the dns name from dyndns, so the dns name pointed to my ip on my router. I then had to modify the hosts file on each pc on the internal network with the internal address associated with the dns name. That was the only way I was able to get both internal and external addresses to work.

Continued from above (couldn't edit)

My issue stems from the everquest client not passing the correct username or password to my login database. I did use the query to enter the password so that the password is sha encrypted.

Since I have gotten an account to work I am assuming that the eq client is not handling the password/encryption in the same way that the we are adding it to the database. There may be something else I am forgetting or not realized I should have done.

Not entirely pertaining to what's being discussed now but: going to be changing how the securitylib works eventually for linux since the .so has been fairly problematic.

I never had a problem setting up a server using external ip's if using eqemulator.net to log in - only the newly-released login server. using eqemulator.net, i could log in locally or remotely w/o a problem.

like i said, i haven't had much time to play with it, but i'll try the dns approach as soon as i can.

Thanks!

Nos, Sorry I should have mentioned that at the time I was using minilogin and not the public server.

I have migrated to the eqemuloginserver but still hosted internally.

has anyone been able to get this to work with remote connections?
