[SOLVED] invalid PVE ticket

[NewDude]

Here's the sequence of events leading up to this problem:

• Install one PVE host. Play with it for a week or so. Get happy. Buy support, and update from the stable repository.
• Install Proxmox on a second machine. Buy support, install updates from stable repository.
• Create a cluster with these two machines in it. Seems to run fine.
• Migrate a powered-down VM from the first host to the new machine. It failed the first time, but once I detached the ISO file from the virtual CD ROM it seemed to go fine.
• Click on new machine to look at virtual bridge settings, and each time I try to I get this:

And it asks me to log in again.

Access to the first host seems to work fine; the second is failing though.

I have no idea what this error is telling me though. What's wrong?

Edited to add: I'm just using local storage for now, ZFS mirrors on both hosts.

I've been logging in as root. I tried creating a new user, adding it to a group, and delegating the Administrator role to it in the hope that I could log in that way, but that didn't seem to work either. I mean, I can log into the first machine using that new username/realm, but I get the same invalid pve ticket 401 errors on the second machine using this login too.

same version/date/time on both machines ?

Times are off by 6 seconds. Is ntp not installed by default?

Aaaand, you found the problem. ntp is timing out waiting on replies, so it's likely a firewall issue.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Edited to add: ntp uses udp, not tcp. <sigh>

The error happened to me too. I can confirm that it related to ntp service not running. Pls check systemd-timesyncd service or any ntp service you're using.
