Hey Phil, I have seen similar issues here, very intermittently. The authentication failure is always for the bat console in my case.
I had chalked it up to network latency as I also consistently get a seg fault from the bat console when running it over a remote X session to anywhere outside the local lan and click between options on the console too quickly. As it is such an intermittent problem here we have been simply living with it until we have time to upgrade and debug more fully. We are running compiled 5.2.5 on Centos 6.2 (director & sd) various clients that all seem to function fine. -----Original Message----- From: Phil Stracchino [mailto:ala...@metrocast.net] Sent: Monday, March 05, 2012 6:54 PM To: bacula-users Subject: [Bacula-users] Mysterious Director authentication failures I'm running Bacula 5.2.5, with Director, catalog and a disk SD on a Solaris 10u9 machine, and a second SD (LTO4 tape) on a Gentoo Linux box. Bacula was compiled using gcc (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.5.3) on the Linux box and with Sun Studio 12.2 opn the Solaris box. Recently I've started experiencing errors in which, after a number of successful connections, Director connection authentication begins repeatedly failing. Example: babylon4:root:/opt/bacula/etc:31 # bconsole Connecting to Director babylon4:9101 Director authorization problem. Most likely the passwords do not agree. If you are using TLS, there may have been a certificate validation error during the TLS handshake. Please see http://www.bacula.org/en/rel-manual/Bacula_Freque_Asked_Questi.html#SECTION003760000000000000000 for help. >From working/babylon4-dir.conmsg: 05-Mar 21:45 babylon4-dir: ERROR in authenticate.c:415 Unable to authenticate console "*UserAgent*" at client:10.24.32.10:36131. 05-Mar 21:45 babylon4-dir: ERROR in authenticate.c:415 Unable to authenticate console "*UserAgent*" at client:10.24.32.14:36131. 05-Mar 21:45 babylon4-dir: ERROR in authenticate.c:415 Unable to authenticate console "*UserAgent*" at client:10.24.32.14:36131. After starting the Director, all connections will succeed initially. All passwords are known good. As a general rule, once one connection attempt fails, all subsequent connection attempts will also fail. Connections are more likely to fail if one or more jobs is running at the time. Has anyone else encountered this or similar behavior? -- Phil Stracchino, CDK#2 DoD#299792458 ICBM: 43.5607, -71.355 ala...@caerllewys.net ala...@metrocast.net p...@co.ordinate.org Renaissance Man, Unix ronin, Perl hacker, SQL wrangler, Free Stater It's not the years, it's the mileage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
