Fatal error: Unable to authenticate with File daemon / Unexpected Client Job message: 2999 Authenti

[beat machine]

Hello,

I already checked serveral bacula lists with the same problem, but found no solution:

I tried it on 3 different Windows 7 Clients (32 & 64 bit) with latest winbareos release 12.4.4 and bareos-dir 12.4.4 on Debian Squeeze (6.0.7) to make a backup, but always got an error like this:

10-Jul 14:18 backup-dir JobId 31: Start Backup JobId 31, Job=BackupClient1.2013-07-10_14.18.22_04

I checked the Firewall. Port is open. I also turnes the firewall off for testing. Still the same.
I checked passwords a lot of times, also changed to "123" for testing. Still the same problem!
I can connect via telnet. But "status client" from bconsole also shows connection error.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hello,

if passwords are the same, I guess the names are not.

Could you please send:

* bareos-dir.conf: director ressource
* bareos-dir.conf: client ressource
* bareos-fd.conf: director and filedaemon ressource.

thanks

Hello Pilipp,

YES - that was the problem! I didn't realize that the names had to be the same in the config files.

Thanks a lot!

Regards,
Ivan

PS: I'm very happy to see that Bareos is going to "push" the Bacula project as independend fork!
