So we keep getting this error on a lot of workstations when we have been logged into the host (with firefox, chrome or IE)
it seems to happen randomly, but when we come back to the logged in session and click on a console for a container we get get "failed"

if you look into the logs it says

Code:
client connection: V4(127.0.0.1:44720)
failed reading ticket: connection closed before authentication
TASK ERROR: command '/usr/bin/termproxy 5900 --path /vms/18002 --perm VM.Console -- /usr/bin/ssh -e none -t 10.0.0.48 -- /usr/bin/dtach -A /var/run/dtach/vzctlconsole18002 -r winch -z lxc-console -n 18002 -e -1' failed: exit code 1

If we close and reopen the whole browser or reboot the issues goes away for a while.
 
hi,

what is your pveversion -v?

does the issue happen on containers only? or also with VMs?

can you post some of the configuration files for the guests? (qm config VMID for VM and pct config CTID for containers, replace VMID/CTID with guest number)
 
We only have containers, i'm unsure if it happens when trying to connect to the host as well tho, will see when it next happens

It is a cluster (sorry should have said that)

can't upgrade to 7.1 as we have containers that have an old version of systemd :(
