Re: cannot authenticate to MSSQL database from BASE

During the guided setup you would have transferred a test.php file to the
root of the webserver (wwwroot), and invoked it from the browser. If the
display was correct then IIS was setup correctly for PHP. If not then  you
should have stopped and fixed the problem at that point.

If you completed the guided setup and are now having problems displaying PHP
pages, there is most likely a formatting problem with the testing.php file
your trying to invoke.

Move the test.php file from the software pack to the new root
(wwwroot\base), and invoke it from the browser.

If it displays correctly then there is a formatting error of some kind with
the testing.php file your trying to invoke.

Kindest regards,
Michael...

Err.. sorry.  Got cut off at work

php is not parsing the file correctly.. it's not being interpreted by the
web server.

if you just see the text of the php file and not the rendered version,

I am new to php and base...
How exactly should I be using this test?
If I save it as testing.php in the c:\inetpub\wwwroot\base, and 
attempt to run it from a browser by 
http://ServerName/base/testing.php, i just get the text content of the

testing.php displayed in the browser.


any suggestions?

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.
