Hello,

we have problems compiling the nginx-sticky module (downloaded from
Google Code Archive - Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.) in nginx
version 1.0.3 and 1.0.4. Here is the output of the “make” command:

gcc -c -pipe -O -W -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wno-unused-parameter

make[1]: *** [objs/src/core/ngx_crypt.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/src/nginx-1.0.3’

Does anybody know how to fix this error?

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

Hi,

you are right!

Let me try to install the correct libs and recompile.

It seems that you don’t have any library with SHA1 functions
required for sticky module. Configure script should write
something like ‘sha1: not found’ (but it doesn’t fail as SHA1 is
considered to be optional by nginx itself).

Easiest way to fix this is to install OpenSSL library (and
headers).

Hi maxim,

I’m the developper of the sticky module. In order to ensure that sha1
and md5 functions exist, I’ve set the following variables in config
file:
USE_SHA1=YES
USE_MD5=YES

but it seems not to be enough to ensure they are there. As SHA1 and
MD5 are considered to be optional by nginx itself, what can be done to
stop the configure script and correct this bug ?

thx

I don’t really think this is a bug in your module, but rather
limitation of nginx itself. It doesn’t allow you to specify
whether USE_* means “required” or “optional”.

For USE_MD5 (and other libraries) it means “required” (in older
versions configure failed, in 1.0.1+ we fallback to internal
implementation). For SHA1 it’s historically “optional”.

I believe solution would be to add internal SHA1 implementation,
effectively making SHA1 “required” as well.

Hi,

yes, it’s working now. I’ve installed the openssl devel package. and

checking for OpenSSL sha1 crypto library

says “found”

make succeeds.

thanks for that great support!

Hi,

Hi,

We are using NGINX as a load-balancer and we would like to learn more
about the MD5 hash function. We need to replicate this function in our
Java application.

We are using the sticky module that hashes the IP.

Are you talking of this module:
Google Code Archive - Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting. ?

When we tried to hash
the same IP:PORT using MD5 in Java , we never got the same result. What
inputs should we use for the MD5 function.

If you are using nginx-sticky-module, you won’t be able to recreate
the same MD5 easily because the module uses internal nginx data to
create the hash.
You can look in ngx_http_sticky_module.c on line 146
(Google Code Archive - Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.).
You’ll find out that the md5 hash is made from the sockaddr internal
structure which discribe each backend server and I’m not sure you’ll
be able to reconstruct the very same structure on your java side.

what is your need ? there is maybe another way to achieve your goal.

Hi,

We are using NGINX as a load-balancer and we would like to learn more
about the MD5 hash function. We need to replicate this function in our
Java application.

We are using the sticky module that hashes the IP. When we tried to hash
the same IP:PORT using MD5 in Java , we never got the same result. What
inputs should we use for the MD5 function.

Thanks in advance,
RaminDeja

Merci Jérôme, we resolved the solution by writing the following class.
It’s not super but does the job:

import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
import java.security.MessageDigest;
import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException;

public class IPEncryptor
{

public static String MD5(String ip)
throws NoSuchAlgorithmException, UnsupportedEncodingException
{
    MessageDigest md;
    md = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");

    byte[] md5hash = new byte[32];
    byte[] ipParts = parseIP(ip);

    md.update(ipParts, 0, ipParts.length);

    md5hash = md.digest();
    return convertToHex(md5hash);
}


private static String convertToHex(byte[] data)
{
    StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();

    for (int i = 0; i < data.length; i++)
    {
        int halfbyte = (data[i] >>> 4) & 0x0F;
        int two_halfs = 0;
        do
        {
            if ((0 <= halfbyte) && (halfbyte <= 9))
                buf.append((char) ('0' + halfbyte));
            else
                buf.append((char) ('a' + (halfbyte - 10)));
            halfbyte = data[i] & 0x0F;
        } while(two_halfs++ < 1);
    }

    return buf.toString();
}

// Parses the input
private static byte[] parseIP(String address)
{
  String[] addressParts = address.split(":");

  String[] ipParts = addressParts[0].split("\\.");
  int portHiByte = Integer.parseInt(addressParts[1]) / 256;
  int portLoByte = Integer.parseInt(addressParts[1]) % 256;

  int i = 0;
  int j = 0;

  byte[] ip = new byte[16];
  ip[i++] = 0;
  ip[i++] = 2;
  ip[i++] = (byte)portHiByte;
  ip[i++] = (byte)portLoByte;

  for (j = 0; j < ipParts.length; j++, i++)
  {
    ip[i] = (byte)Integer.parseInt(ipParts[j]);
  }

  // pad the rest with ZEROs
  for (; i < ip.length; ++i)
  {
    ip[i] = 0;
  }

  return ip;
}

}
