Who does identD work?

[offline]

Hi

Its simple. I have never used identD before and I cant get it to work with ioFTPD.

Iam useing FlashFXP and I set my user ID there to ex: user1
and in ioftpd I add this ip user1@my.ip.co.m

When I logg in to the ftp I get same message (same in errlog also) as if I had the wrong ip address.

In my ioftpd.ini file I have set these two options:
Get_External_Ident = True
Ident_Timeout = 10


So am I missing something? Would be nice with ident as an extra security.

Thx

Get_External_Ident is for the IDNT command used by control connection bouncers and is not related to this.

If you're using a router, make sure to forward the ident port (113).

Hi NeoXed

I am not useing a router but Iam useing firewalls on both server and client. But ident(113) port is already allowed on both server and client.

Any other suggestions? Maybe its FlashFXP probelm?

I used to have issues with ident but for someone reason using a ident server and disabling inbuilt flash/mirc ones worked for me.
First of all make sure in mIRC it only listens for ident on connect, otherwise it will be blocking the port.
If it is set up correctly, grab this and try it:

If it fails to start correctly in the status window you have something blocking port 113 on your machine and the problems explained. If it starts OK the problems fixed
