config postgresql of Metasploit 4.1.4 pro

Default passwords is contained in properties.ini

The first thing you will realise is that if you try to start it using:
Code:

/etc/init.d/postgresql-8.3 start (8.3 is the vesrion might be different in your case)

it gives you an error:

Code:

The PostgreSQL server failed to start. Please check the log output:
2008-03-24 18:46:11 CDT FATAL: could not load server certificate file “server.crt”: No such file or directory
[fail]

To solve this issue all you have to do is disable SSL from the postgres.conf file:

Code:

kate /etc/postgresql/8.3/main/postgresql.conf

Just comment the line “ssl = true # (change requires restart)” like this:

Code:

# �C Security and Authentication -

#authentication_timeout = 1min # 1s-600s
#ssl = true # (change requires restart)
#ssl_ciphers = ‘ALL:!ADH:!LOW:!EXP:!MD5:@STRENGTH’ # allowed SSL ciphers
# (change requires restart)
#password_encryption = on
#db_user_namespace = off

Now that we’ve done that let’s connect to our postgreSQL and change the password:

Code:

sudo su postgres -c psql
ALTER USER postgres WITH PASSWORD ‘your password’;

\q

sudo passwd -d postgres
sudo su postgres -c passwd

Now enter the same password that you used previously(‘your password’).
After doing so we go to our framework folder:

Code:

cd /pentest/exploits/framework3
./msfconsole
db_driver postgresql
db_connect postgres:”postgreSQL password”@127.0.0.1/metasploit (“metasploit” being the name of the database).

Now you can go use autopwn
Hope it helps someone.
