Suricata GeoIP2 database download and update broken due to recent change in MaxMind API
0%
Description
The MaxMind GeoIP2 geolocation database download/update procedure in the Suricata package was broken by a recent API change on the MaxMind website. The new download procedure requires supplying both the Account ID and License Key along with the permalink download URL. This is a change from the previous API which required only supplying the License Key .
This fix will require the addition of a new GUI field on the GLOBAL SETTINGS tab in Suricata to contain the Account ID as well as changes to the download routine crontask to supply the correct credentials as part of the URL.
