Hi all,

I did not see other people reporting this problem, but I think it is a bug at least on my installation. I setup a test cluster of two nodes with Proxmox 2.0.
I log in one of the node, and both nodes are displayed correctly in the web interface, but I can only access the node where I log in. Here I can see my VM and do all operations normally.
But when I click on the other node, a login windows appears, and whatever login information I enter, it fails. I cannot access the other node, the login window cannot be shut.
I can only change the address in the browser to log to the other node.

I saw this behavior with previous version (beta2), as well as with the latest (with HA). Here is my current version :
Code:
# pveversion -v
pve-manager: 2.0-18 (pve-manager/2.0/16283a5a)
running kernel: 2.6.32-6-pve
proxmox-ve-2.6.32: 2.0-55
pve-kernel-2.6.32-6-pve: 2.6.32-55
lvm2: 2.02.88-2pve1
clvm: 2.02.88-2pve1
corosync-pve: 1.4.1-1
openais-pve: 1.1.4-1
libqb: 0.6.0-1
redhat-cluster-pve: 3.1.8-3
pve-cluster: 1.0-17
qemu-server: 2.0-13
pve-firmware: 1.0-14
libpve-common-perl: 1.0-11
libpve-access-control: 1.0-5
libpve-storage-perl: 2.0-9
vncterm: 1.0-2
vzctl: 3.0.29-3pve8
vzprocps: 2.0.11-2
vzquota: 3.0.12-3
pve-qemu-kvm: 1.0-1
ksm-control-daemon: 1.1-1

Here is the cluster status :
Code:
# pvecm status
Version: 6.2.0
Config Version: 2
Cluster Name: proxmox-2-test
Cluster Id: 6110
Cluster Member: Yes
Cluster Generation: 164
Membership state: Cluster-Member
Nodes: 2
Expected votes: 2
Total votes: 2
Node votes: 1
Quorum: 2
Active subsystems: 5
Flags:
Ports Bound: 0
Node name: node2
Node ID: 2
Multicast addresses: 239.192.23.245
Node addresses: x.y.z.w

Does anybody else see this problem ?

I don't see anything obvious in the log (but I perhaps I did not look enough carefully). Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong ?

No, time was not correct on second node (more than an hour difference with first node). Indeed, I forgot to configure an NTP server on second node. After it was done, all is now OK, I can access both node without a login popup.

Thanks for the hint !
