[SOLVED] Error: HTTP Error 401 Unauthorized: permission check failed

[javii]

Hi,

I have managed to add PBS to Proxmox VE:

# cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg
dir: local
        path /var/lib/vz
        content iso,vztmpl,backup

zfspool: local-zfs
        pool rpool/data
        content images,rootdir
        sparse 1

pbs: datastore1
        datastore datastore1
        server X.X.X.X
        fingerprint xx:xx:xx:xx
        username root@pam

I can create backups through Proxmox GUI, however when I try to use command line:

root@# proxmox-backup-client list --repository root@pam@X.X.X.X:datastore1
Error: HTTP Error 401 Unauthorized: permission check failed.

Any idea?

hi,

your password might be incorrect.

It does not ask for a password

I don't know why, but it works now. Sorry.

Hi,
I got the same error the first time that client did backup to backup server.
Seems that client never did ssh to its backup server and there are common question like:
Do you accept connection y/n

This can be done with first connection from the shell like:

$ proxmox-backup-client list --repository backup@pbs@backup-server-hostname:backup

(considering that backup@pbs is username used for connection to backup server)

After that , there are no errors checking the backup from the client anymore.
