Cannot Get HTTPS / SSL Working Properly

0
0

Good Afternoon Guys -

 

I've used Serv-U at the company I work for for a while now - but only as a plain-jane FTP server.  Only after stumbling across some settings in the console did I find out the potential which wasn't being used.  Since then, I've set up the web console and am excited about it's features.  One thing that's manditory is enabling SSL for the web traffic, though.  I can't get it to work correctly, though.

 

The Issue

When I try to go to "https://servuserver" or https://servuserver:443", it times out.  However, I can successfully navigate to http://servuserver:443 which is strange.  I get the same results when using the IP instead of hostname.  I am attempting the connection from a system on the LAN.  I've tried many things, but can't get it to work over HTTPS.

 

Serv-U's Current Setup

Below are the current settings I have established which pertain to HTTPS / Port 443:

- Couldn't find Serv-U version, but was installed within past 6 months

- Currently run on Windows 7 x64 "server" which hosts 4-5 additional web services (all on different ports which do not conflict)

- Domain Details / Listeners: Listener for port 443 set to default of HTTPS (SSL encrypted HTTP)

- Limits & Settings / SSL Certificate: Created SSL Certificate via wizard in Serv-U and saved to new folder in Rhinosoft folder.  When done, chose to have it apply the newly created cert.  Both paths and password are filled out as you can see below (made SSH one, too)

limits1.png

HTTP Info

I don't know if it makes a difference, but on the server Serv-U is installed on, port 80 was already being used therefore I reassigned HTTP to port 81 via the listener.  When browsing to 81 (http://servuserver:81), everything seemingly works as it is supposed to including the Java Voyager client. 

 

What I've Tried to Fix

- Changed the HTTPS listener from 443 to 444 - I thought perhaps if 80 already had a conflict, perhaps 443 did too. After changing, browsing to https://servuserver:444 timed out as well

- Tried adding a new listener set up as HTTPS but set to a random port of 777.  Same results as it timed out, too

- Created a new certificate via wizard as

- Created a certificate via 3rd party site which can be converted if needed at this site

 

Nothing worked.  I know I could purchase one, but for now this service would only be used by a couple of people for proof of concept.  More than likely it's something simple I'm missing.

 

Any ideas?  Thanks!

How do I make Linux Command Line Parameters work?

0
0

I am porting Serv-U from Windows to Linux, and am working on converting some home-made batch scripts into shell scripts.  I have the shell scripts working correctly so there is no issue with migration. The script collects account name and the location of the user's home folder.  The purpose of the script is to send the contents of the upload directory to a list of recipients after the account disconnects the session.  The list of recipients is obtained from a specified file at $recipLoc/$name.txt (see below), and for a test example the recipients file only contains one valid email address.   Here is the script below.

 

#!/bin/bash

name=$1 ## Passes in $Name variable from Serv-U.

mailboxPath=$2 ## Passes in $LocalHomeDirectory variable from Serv-U.

fileListLoc=/usr/local/Serv-U/temp

recipLoc=/usr/local/Serv-U/Scripts/recipients

 

echo "Files were uploaded to the $mailboxPath/Upload directory." >> $fileListLoc/$name.txt

 

# list the contents of the Upload directory and store the output to the specific file

ls $mailboxPath/Upload >> $fileListLoc/$name.txt

 

##Send email using Postfix, with the body of the email being the contents of the file at $fileListLoc/$name.txt

cat $fileListLoc/$name.txt | mail -s "Files in FTP1 Mailbox $name" $recipLoc/$name.txt

 

When I execute the shell script using the console while manually defining the parameters, I am successfully able to receive an email (for example, ./Notification.sh user path/to/files 5).

 

The first issue I am experiencing is that there is no file being created in the temp folder of the output of the directory.

 

The second issue I am experiencing is that the log in Serv-U shows the script is being executed with defined parameters when the user logs out, but no email is being generated. If I check the /var/log/maillog file, there is no line item that an email was sent.

 

There are about 400 accounts using Serv-U so it would be easiest to get this script to work instead of modifying the configuration files for each of the 400+ accounts.  Any help that you could provide will be extremely valuable.

 

Thanks!

Here is guide for configuring LDAP Authentication in Serv-U

Recently we have seen few users struggle with setting of LDAP Authentication in Serv-U. LDAP requires specific knowledge and to make it easier we created this short guide for you to help you short-term. We are also working on improving documentation, so make the process easier and straightforward, however in the meantime here is the doc.

 

If you have any questions, comment or suggestions for improvements to the guide, please let us know in comments or contact me personally.

Is it possible to automate the sending of an email when a file is uploaded?

Multi-AD Domains without suffix ?

0
0

Hello,

 

First, I set the identification for a single domain: by entering the Login ID suffix it works.

 

Then for corporate needs, I need to use 3 subdomains.

Accounts to identify are:

- Xa.aaaaa @ domainA.mycorp.corp (without spaces)

- Xb.bbbbb @ domainB.mycorp.corp

- Xc.ccccc @ domainC.mycorp.corp

 

To consider this need, I connects to the GC of the forest and remove the LDAP suffix.

 

ScreenShot373.png

 

Connection Test: OK for all accounts (with the suffix).

 

For the sake of convenience, I would like that users do not have to inform their suffix.

So I attach the suffix "@*".

 

LDAP queries work correctly, I get my users well (only one answer each time, we have a different type of naming for each domain).

 

Search : (&(objectclass=user)(userPrincipalName=Xb.bbbbb@*))       ==> for domain user domainB.mycorp.corp

ScreenShot375.png


Search : (&(objectclass=user)(userPrincipalName=Xa.aaaaa@*))       ==> for domain user domainA.mycorp.corp

ScreenShot376.png

 

By cons, it is impossible to identify anyone on Serv-U...

 

If you have any tips ...

 

Regards

Sylvain J.


Servu and open sll problems

OPen SSL issued a notice that deals with a new vulnerability on June 4 2014.   https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20140605.txt

 

OUr scan software is reporting an instance on open SSL 0.9.8 on a server that is dedicated to Servu.  Does Servu use openSSL and if yes will it be upgraded to a  compliant version?

SESS_PERMISSION_DENIED (3)

Trying to upload a file using FTP Voyager JV to upload a file over 2GB.  As soon as it reaches 2GB it errors out:

 

The file or directory you're trying to access is not available to you.

 

"filename.iso"

 

What would you like to do next?

Retry, Skip, Cancel

 

Details:

HTTP Response Code: OK(200)

Serv-U Result Code:      SESS_PERMISSION_DENIED(3)

 

The file or directory you're trying to access is not available to you.

 

Just upgrade to the latest version (15.1.480)

We had a similar error message when it reached the 2GB limit on 15.1 before this latest update.

I am using IE 11 on Windows 7 Pro x64 with the latest version of Java.  I have tried other browsers and received the same error message.

FTP Voyager Hangs at Exit

0
0

FTP Voyager hangs almost 100% of the time when exiting the app. I usually exit by clicking the X at the upper right. It's marginally better if I remember to Disconnect the session and use the Exit FTP Voyager button. The only solution if it hang is to use Task Manager and kill the process.

 

Version: 16.0.1.3

OS: Win 8.1 and Win 7

We would like to know if it is possible to upgrade SSL version in Serv-U, because there are a possible vulnerability that could be occured in future (like "heart bleed").

Client User AD Login

0

I am trying to setup Windows Authentication and it tells me that "login is not successful" but if I add a global user it works fine. I have followed the following articles

 

http://www.serv-u.com/kb/1977/Windows-Groups-and-Organizational-Units-in-ServU

Enabling Windows User NT-SAM / Active Directory Support in Serv-U

 

I have setup a AD group in the domain and setup the windows group OU's

 

Its like it is not reading our AD domain. I do have the service running as an AD service account with read access. Each time I try to login it does increment the session count in the global activity tab but not the domain activity tab. I am running the most current version, 15.1

 

Should I open a ticket or does somebody have an idea of what might be wrong?

Custom logo illegible when re-sized in webclient

0
0

The default login page and web client suits our need, we'd just like to replace those logo assets.

When defining a custom logo in the admin panel it looks great on the login page, but that same asset is resized for display on the web client and becomes nearly illegible.

As a work around, I found and replaced the logo files; however, the server understandably fails an integrity check and prompts for a re-install.


Is there an solution or work around for defining a second appropriately sized logo for display in the web client?



Thanks

Serv-U ver 15.1.0.458

Multiple public keys for authentication of one user

0
0

I have a need to allow two public keys to authenticate, how do I configure that in Serv-U?

 

I have the two public keys and I can get them to work individually, but there is only one text box to put the file name in.

 

I also tried to concatenate them together, which allows the first key to work, but not the 2nd.

 

Am I missing something?

Domain Event - File Management Rule Success

0
0

What would an example event Message look like for this File Management Rule Success and Error? I pasted the following from the Help Documentation but only Date/Time into the Event Message but none were populated. Unfortunately File Management Success/Error is not a "Common Event" so I am not sure which variables to use in the Message.

 

File Information - Applies to the last remotely accessed file, which is not necessarily the last transferred file

    $PathName - Retrieves the full remote path

    $FileName - Retrieves just the file name from $PathName

    $FileSize - Retrieves the size, in bytes, of the file from $FileName

    $FileSizeFmt - A formatted version of the file size, containing the thousands separator (comma or period depending on the computer's regional settings)

    $FileSizeKB - A formatted floating point value representing the file size in KB

    $LocalPathName - Retrieves the fully qualified local path name for an operation, as it relates to Windows. For example C:\Temp\File.fid instead of /Temp/file.fid

    $LocalFileName - Retrieves the name of the file as it is stored on the local computer. See $LocalPathName for details

$OldLocalPathName - Same as $LocalPathName, but contains the path prior to renaming

$OldLocalFileName - Same as $LocalFileName, but contains the file name prior to renaming

    $OldPathName - Retrieves the remote path name prior to renaming

    $OldFileName - Retrieves the remote file name prior to renaming

 

I may post a feature request but it would be very helpful if "Create Common Events" would give us a selectable checkbox list of ALL events so we would have the option of only creating the specific events we need. This would also expand the list of Common Events (with pre-poulated fields) to include ALL events so the user isn't left guessing which variables to use. Small but helpful improvement.

Serv-U FTP in an iframe?

Is there ANY way I could force Serv-U FTP v15.x to display in an iframe? Everytime I try it complains saying it cant be displayed in an iframe.

 

Also is there any way to force Serv-U FTP file shares to allow direct download links with guest links?

Question - Hidden event

0
0

Hi,

 

I see that when I create a user, two mails are sent.

The first is my custom event.

The second is similar to the default event :

 

Object : Your New Account Information

Body :

Welcome!  Your account has been created.  Your login information is:

 

 

Login ID: app_test4

Password: xxxxxxxxxx

 

 

If you have any questions, please contact your system administrator.

Please keep this information private because it pertains to your

personal account on this server.

 

 

Thank you!

 

I'm tracking this event... I can't found it

I try :

  • Global > Server details > Events
  • MyDomain > Domain details > Events
  • MyDomain > Users > Domain users > Templates
  • MyDomain > Groups > Domain groups > All my groups > Events

 

Nothing...

 

Do you know if there's some hidden events?

 

Regards,

Sylvain
