New issue 350 by stevencr...@gmail.com: memcached: SASL authentication not
working in CentOS 6 64-bit
http://code.google.com/p/memcached/issues/detail?id=350

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I installed memcached via remi repo
2. Configured memcached for SASL support using info posted in memcached
notes:
echo "mech_list: plain" > /etc/sysconfig/memcached.conf
echo "myname:mypass" > /tmp/memcached-sasl-db

3. Then added the following lines into the /etc/init.d/memcached file:
export MEMCACHED_SASL_PWDB=/tmp/memcached-sasl-db
export SASL_CONF_PATH=/etc/sysconfig/memcached.conf

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It to work when testing auth via memcp

Errors in the error log:

authenticated() in cmd 0x21 is true
mech: ``PLAIN'' with 28 bytes of data
SASL (severity 1): unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2: No such file or
directory
SASL (severity 1): unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2: No such file or
directory
SASL (severity 2): Password verification failed
sasl result code: -20
Unknown sasl response: -20
> 30 Writing an error: Auth failure.

I create a blank file /etc/sasldb2 and get the following in the log:

authenticated() in cmd 0x21 is true
mech: ``PLAIN'' with 29 bytes of data
SASL (severity 2): Password verification failed
sasl result code: -13
Unknown sasl response: -13
> 30 Writing an error: Auth failure.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
CentOS 6 64-bit
memcached x86_64 1.4.15-2.el6.remi
2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64

I complied it myself instead and now im getting the error...

authenticated() in cmd 0x21 is true
mech: ``PLAIN'' with 28 bytes of data

Ok, I fixed the issue by doing chown -R root:root /etc/memcached and then
chmod -R 777 /etc/memcached (this is only a memcache server so i dont
really care about other user access to this folder).

Now in the logs I get:

authenticated() in cmd 0x21 is true
mech: ``PLAIN'' with 28 bytes of data

INFO: User <myn...@server2.ourdomain.com> failed to authenticate

SASL (severity 2): Password verification failed
sasl result code: -20
Unknown sasl response: -20

> 30 Writing an error: Auth failure.

How can I set so that when authenticating it only looks at the username and
memcached deosnt care about the at symbol and server hostname connecting to
it (since I only have myname:mypass in the memcached sasl db)?

I don't think you can do that so far as I know :( sorry.
