TASK ERROR: Failed to retrieve backup groups from remote - authentication failed - no authentication credentials provided.

Hi guys,

PBS 2.1

Two servers:
remote => located at another datacenter off-site
nexus => located on-site

My goal is for our 3-node Proxmox cluster to backup to the local PBS ('nexus'), and then for 'nexus' to replicate to the remote server 'remote'.

It seems that PBS uses a "pull" method as opposed to push. Due to my setup, this means that I need to use port 443 instead of 8007 for the 'nexus' server. I tested and it works fine for me via the GUI, and it's my understanding Proxmox doesn't need additional ports (no SSH forwarding or proxy).

This is the error message I am receiving, from the remote PBS server, the sync job:



pbs-remote # proxmox-backup-manager remote show pbs-nexus ┌─────────────┬─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Name │ Value │ ╞═════════════╪═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╡ │ name │ pbs-nexus │ ├─────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ password │ │ ├─────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ auth-id │ root@pam!remote │ ├─────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ host │ x.y.z here │ ├─────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ comment │ on-site at nexus │ ├─────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ fingerprint │ blah:blah │ ├─────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ port │ 443 │ └─────────────┴─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

This is the permission tab on the datastore 'backup' on the local 'nexus' PBS server:

Guys, where am I going wrong here?

does that mean you use a proxy of some kind (or plain port redirection?). if you use a proxy, make sure the cookies/headers are all transmitted

also it seems your usernames/tokens do not match (root@pam!nexus != root@pam!remote) ?

also double check the password for the user/token
