permission denied invalid pve ticket 401.

[gonzalo.garcia.necomplus]

Hi!

I have just configured a cluster, and when attempting to query the other node from the main node, which serves as the cluster, I encounter the error 'permission denied invalid pve ticket 401.'



Could you assist me?

Thanks,
Regards

Just use the search function, the topic is not new. Often it is simply due to a lack of time synchronization.

I'm having this problem too when trying to join additional nodes to a standalone cluster, using Datacenter -> Cluster -> Join Cluster.

The time is in sync.
The nodes can ping and SSH each other via both hostname and IP address.
I tried many times tidying up and rejoining the node, even reinstalled the new node a few times.

# ssh proxmox-big date; date
Mon Mar 18 08:32:30 AM GMT 2024
Mon Mar 18 08:32:30 AM GMT 2024

One error I can see on the joiner node is:

Mar 18 08:37:47 proxmox-sm pveproxy[5901]: /etc/pve/local/pve-ssl.pem: failed to use local certificate chain (cert_file or cert) at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/APIServer/AnyEvent.pm line 2009.

On the main cluster I'm getting this:

I ran out of ideas, any help would be appreciated.

I am having a similar issue, with a 3 node cluster. Everything was fine for months, and now I’m unable to get all nodes together.

3 nodes we’ll call 11, 12, 13:
- 11 & 13 can cluster
- 12 & 13 can cluster
- 11 & 12 fail to cluster

When joining 11 & 12, I get:
- an invalid pve ticket
- lose web gui access
- hangs on `pvecm updatecerts [-f]` via ssh

This happens on a brand new install of proxmox on all 3 nodes.
