I think this is a follow-up to last june's http://dev.list.galaxyproject.org/proftpd-setting-tt4660329.html question. I was trying a new test install of galaxy (following instructions on galaxy website for a local install from galaxy-dist hg source), sitting on a server with two existing galaxy installs. Got that going ok. Now trying to get profptd 1.3.5rc3 to authenticate against users in the new galaxy install's postgresql database. But it seems a change has been made in authentication, from sha1 to pbkdf2 . Trouble is no docs seem to exist about what the new galaxy pbkdf2 parameters are - e.g. proftpd 1.3.5rc3 configuration seems to need the following for pbkdf2: SQLAuthTypes pbkdf2 # Use the SHA1 digest algorithm, 1000 iterations, and expect an output # length of 20 bytes. SQLPasswordPBKDF2 sha1 1000 20 SQLPasswordSaltFile /path/to/salt/file now over to galaxy instructions where some detail exists about how to configure/compile proftpd but nothing on above parameters. https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/Upload%20via%20FTP It seems like all the code is in place. Anyone jumped the hurdle on this? Regards, Damion
