Zimbra Iptables+Fail2Ban correct regex

Post by TitusI »

I've deployed zimbra to a new server to migrate a old server:
Release 8.7.11_GA_1854.RHEL7_64_20170531151956 RHEL7_64 FOSS edition.

I've setup iptables using the rule in the official zimbra howto

Code: Select all

Now I want to setup fail2ban, but no rules seems to match my log file.
My actual filter.d/zimbra.conf is

Code: Select all

# Fail2Ban configuration file

# $Revision: 1 $

[Definition]

# Option:  failregex
# Notes.:  regex to match the password failures messages in the logfile. The
#          host must be matched by a group named "host". The tag "<HOST>" can
#          be used for standard IP/hostname matching and is only an alias for
#          (?:::f{4,6}:)?(?P<host>[\w\-.^_]+)
# Values:  TEXT

failregex = \[ip=<HOST>;\] account - authentication failed for .* \(no such account\)$

ignoreregex =


I've tried different regex using fail2ban-regex against different log file, but nothing matched! :(
in the mailbox log (/opt/zimbra/log/mailbox.log) I see line like:
2017-11-14 14:25:26,005 INFO [qtp127618319-44766:https:https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xx:7073/service/admin/soap/] [] misc - Access from IP XX.XX.XX.XX suspended, for repeated failed login.

but iptables jail are clean! Who is banning?

Can you please give me a regex to match line like:

2017-11-09 17:02:51,601 INFO [qtp127618319-185:http://localhost:8080/service/soap/AuthRequest] [name=address.xx;oip=XX.XX.XX.XX;ua=zclient/8.7.11_GA_1854;] SoapEngine - handler exception: authentication failed for [xxx@xxxx.xx], invalid password

The iptables configuration is correct?

Thank you in advance! :D
