Hi all,
I am writing a NDMP client to backup a server supporting ndmp. If anyone's familiar with the ndmp documenation, you will know that the connect interface of ndmp has connect_client message that can choose to authorize itself using any of the 3 methods: MD5, Text or none. I select MD5 to authorize the ndmp client to the server. The server supports all the 3 methods. And, i believe a normal customer will not be able to access a server to be backed up without any authorization method. I need help with the authorization by the server using MD5 method.
The problem is:
I send the server the request to send client the "challenge string". But, the server sends me an empty string. This happens when i run the code that i am writing. But, when i do log on the server side to send the messages it sends, it shows a string that it sends.
I dont understand if i am doing anything wrong here.
Can some one tell me specifically what to do?
Thanks so much.
