Edit: so we never obtained the answer, instead we tried it with the server and client on the same PC. This morning I tried logging into the client and it would hang on "authenticating". So I shut everything down and went back to my life for a bit. This evenng I tried again, and now it says account or password incorrect. We tried recreating the accunt and password, same thing. We made a new account and password, same thing. Any help would be appreciated. Both on this new issue and the first one below (because eventually I want us both to be able to play on our own computers). TIA
My son and I have been following the guide. We did fine until we got to the part that says: "Open the acore_auth database and find the realmlist table. You need to edit the address field according to your needs". We have searched through everything in acore_auth in Heidi and we have not been able to find where the realmlist table is, let alone how to edit it. We are using one dedicated computer for the server, and we will join the server via our laptops. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The guide has been very detailed thus far, thank you. My son is almost done with his AS in Computer Programming, with an emphasis on game design, not networking.
Upon further inspection... we discovered our acore_auth database is exmpty. All the Acore_? databases are empty. What did we miss? Any ideas?
You have to edit the table realmlist of the acore_auth database and change the address field with the LAN address of the PC where the server is running:
Reading your question it sounds much that you are trying to run AC on Windows, so I recommend reading the installation guide here https://www.azerothcore.org/wiki/installation#azerothcore-classic-setup
Which also includes installation for macOS and Linux if you happen to use them.
In short to populate your database for the first time you need to run your Authserver and Worldserver applications which will automatically import the base and update files into your database. Then you go to acore_auth.realmlist and specify the address field to LAN IP (192.168.x.x) for the host PC to allow other PCs in your network to connect to it.

I am having a big problem, quite difficult to find/search.
I have a server in Ubuntu, where inside that server I have installed:
GITLAB (have all proyect)
POSTGRESSQL (Independent gitlab database is used for a personal project)
TOMCAT with APP WEB (Springboot, this use postgres)
This server is still for testing, it is used for specific specific things (I mean, its use and access is limited and controlled)
I am having various problems:
This server is still for testing, it is used for specific specific things (I mean, its use and access is limited and controlled)
Very frequently, almost every day, the user postgres from the postgresql server "erases" the password. Without anyone doing it manually, "it happens exponentially". I notice why the application stops responding, and then I access postgresql and note that the postgres user has no password.
I looked for many places, and I can't find anything. I really don't know where else to look. If someone passed it to you or has information about it, I would be grateful if you could provide it to me.
------More information added----------
I was looking at the postgres logs, before I have no authentication and I see this.
There are times when no one could have been using the springboot server,
--2020-01-17 00:30:21.286
And also the two log that show before that moment. Could it be something that is deleting my password?
Thank you.
PostgreSQL does not randomly delete its own passwords, and I really doubt Tomcat or Gitlab do either. Indeed they shouldn't even have access to the server as the 'postgres' user or any other superuser, and so shouldn't be able to even if they wanted.
It seems like that there is an intruder in your system. After gaining access they create their own user with their own password. Then disabling your normal superuser from logging on is a common way to try to prevent you from regaining control and kicking them out. Do any users exist that you do not recognize?
The bit of the log file you posted clearly shows someone trying to guess your password, starting at 2:58. You aren't logging IP addresses (%h) so it doesn't show where they are coming from. It doesn't show that they succeed, but unless you have log_connections = on, it wouldn't show successes.
So the title sounds stupid. I'm not really sure how to really word it, but I want someone to help guide me on what to look for. Little back story first so I'm working on a Raspberry Pi project that involves using an LTE service currently I have a dashboard running on a AWS EC2 web server with a simple user working user login.
I have a raspberry pi that is directly pointed to the dashboard/account via an IP address. I want to know how to do something like giving a device an ID and having it connect to an account. So for example with Nest products you have the QR code on the camera you take a photo and that devices get applied to your account.
Is this even possible with Raspberry Pi(I'm sure anything possible, but is it feasible? If so what should I look into or learn how to do such thing. I know its not something that can be answered in a short paragraph just looking for some guidance.
Right, thanks. Well, I think you need to program this into the pi server app. So currently your Pi is reading a sensor and sending this data to the web server, right? I suppose you have a daemon running, taking readings, and doing an API REST call to the server backend, correct? So what you want is to have a unique code for each pi, sent with the API call, and then on your DB server side,you store all readings related to their unique code.
You don't need to pre-validate this code, there are GUID generators that will create a number for you, guaranteed to be unique for all eternity, so on the PI, you set it up once, to create the PI's code, and use it from then on. Now, server side, then associating a device with a user is a matter of choosing the data associated with a given gui. And I think that covers it.
You can improve on this basic idea by giving it more thought, but I think it's a good starting point! Do let me know if I can help you with anything else!
I've just created a new MongoDB account and I'm now trying to connect the free cluster I created via MongoDB Compass Community application but I'm getting a 'Authentication Fail' error being displayed.
This is what I've checked so far:
From my MongoDB Clusters section when I clicked on the Connect (…) button which then gives you various options. From there, I selected 'Connect with MongoDB Compass' and copied the connection string.
This was detected as expected by the Compass and the information was filled automatically in all the relevant fields and I also filled the password by copy/pasting it into the relevant field. 100% sure it is correct.
I checked that the username used was indeed set up as an admin and it is.
I checked my Authentication database was correct and it is.
I've checked that my public IP was added to the whitelist and it is. The only thing I've noticed is that when I added my public IP address, it added a /32 at the end. Is that the port?
But I'm not quite sure what else to test for to resolve this problem.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
I eventually found out what the problem was after speaking to someone from MongoDB support Team!
Everything was done correctly except for one thing. I was being impatient after changing my Cluster User's password. It can take up to 2 minutes for the system to be updated and therefore to allow Compass to access it.
Once I waited a couple of minutes, I was able to login as expected in Compass.
I still can't quite believe I wasted so much time on such a simple issue but the main thing is that it is resolved.
I did send them some feedback as a lot of things could have been done a lot better:
Highlight it better in their documentation i.e. red??
Make the "warning" message displayed on the webpage after updating the user details more obvious. It was right in my face and never spotted it appear or disappear as once I'd update the user detail on the website, I'd swap immediately to Compass to try to login. By the time, I'd be done, well over 2 minutes would elapsed and the message would be long gone, so not very useful the way it is currently done.
Instead of just saying: 'Authentication Fail', which is correct, the message could read differently when it knows the user is being updated i.e. 'Authentication Fail - Please try again in a few minutes as we're updating this user's details'... Something like this anyway.
So, remember to be patient when changing your user's details in MongoDB and if you are, then yes, you will have a database up and running in the cloud in 5 minutes or less! :)
So I have been modifying the chat program found here: http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/topic/259777-a-simple-chat-program-with-clientserver-gui-optional/ and I am at the point where I am ready to use it between twp pc's.
The problem is, I do not know enough about server-client relationships to set it up. Is there anything missing in the code for this to work? I just want to link two laptops to chat with one another. Is there any server softare I need to run or something?
I tried openfire but couldn't figure out how to link it, every port number I tried (listed in the admin page) didn't work. This is my first attempt at anything like this and probably beyond my current level of understanding which is why I would greatly appreciate a straightforward solution.
I chose this becaue I needed to do a lot of customization to the code so please use the ones on the page above as a reference. I would post the code here but there are 5 classes and they are neatly displayed on that page already with a explanation of each.
Thanks in advance!
Before you start trying to incorporate external libraries or functions, understand the code. Play around with it a little. See what does what and if you change this setting or that what will happen. Bare in mind that the code is separated into 2 applications:
Client - [ClientUI + Client + ChatMessage]
Server - [ServerUI + Server + ChatMessage]
Check that the application works on a single machine. So keep the server class the same and simply edit the client class so that it points to the current machine.
Run both the server and the client (from the example) on the same machine and when the client asks for the server location input 127.0.0.1 then put the port number you gave for the ServerSocket in Server. This should point to your machine and if this works but not when using 2 separate machines check your firewall settings.
Is there a FileMaker (11 Advanced) native way to obtain the client's computer name in a script? The computer name shown in FileMaker server when displaying clients connected to a database would do nicely.
Purpose: I'm looking to have filemaker recall and set window position based on user and computer. (The same user could have a different window position and size preference for their laptop than for their desktop -- think of byHost user preferences.)
Alternate: I'm aware that a the client computer name could be grabbed using an external script, but would prefer a native way, if available.
I am still unable to answer the question as asked. However, for the purpose stated, I just found the command
Get ( SystemNICAddress )
It will provide a unique identifier for each computer that will change infrequently. This is all that is required for my purpose and will likely work better than the value I originally requested.
This new function was introduced in FileMaker Pro 12.0:
Get ( PersistentID )
From the FileMaker documentation at http://www.filemaker.com/help/12/fmp/html/func_ref2.32.54.html:
"Returns a unique, unchanging identifier for the computer on which FileMaker Pro is running or the device on which FileMaker Go is running, in the form of a 32-digit hexadecimal string."
If you're using FMP 12+, this would be a better choice than relying on Get(SystemNICAddress), which can change.
I know this is an old post, but we've worked with the same thing for other reasons and maybe this will help someone.
Since it doesn't seem that FM natively has this function built-in, even for version 17, I just made a table with the NIC address records created when the file opens (if it doesn't exist already) and then the DNS name was manually added later. Then the DNS name could be referenced after using GET to find the NIC address. Some computers do have multiple NICs so those are broken up into separate records (it's just returned as a list) but the same DNS name is applied to them all. Except in the case of a VPN NIC which sometimes reports at 00:00:00:00:00:00; those are just ignored. Otherwise you may have multiple computers with the same null NIC - and that isn't helpful. We use the DNS name for reporting of our employees sales in relation to their call volume. And trying to remember the NICs of a hundred computers is not as simple as a DNS name to know where the person was sitting at the time.
There is a native way to do it.
Get ( HostName )
But you can't use this with a hosted filed, file needs to be opened on the client machine locally.
There can be other advantages to using local FileMaker files that communicate with hosted files
- Better performance for graphics heavy layouts
- Providing an offline cache
Another approach is to use a system shell script.
For completeness sake, a non-native approach, there are a few Filemaker plugins that can provide this functionality. www.360works.com/scriptmaster/
To identify client with FileMaker 11, I simply use:
Get(DesktopPath)
Maybe it could help...
