hb_gui failing to authenticate... although it has worked in the past

I'm running CentOS 4.5 and I've had heartbeat up and running
successfully for a number of months, and configured it initially with
hb_gui, but I've never really used it since then... Anyway, 4 months on
I powered up hb_gui to make some changes and it won't connect to the
heartbeat server, it gives this error:

mgmtd: [23909]: ERROR: on_listen receive login msg failed

Why would it suddenly stop working?

Thanks

John

I ran into a similar issue, and in my case it was the host's firewall.
Have you enabled a firewall recently?
If so, make sure that tcp port 5560 is open.

Hope this helps,
Justin

It's running over a VPN so there are no ports to open... I've been
connecting to it as
xx.xx.xx.xx:594 in the past so I'm not sure where 5560 come from?

Thanks anyway, but I don't /think/ that's the problem (I will check just
to be sure though ;-)

In my case, the firewall was actually installed on the box - not vpn
related. I'm running SLES10 SP1, and it comes with an iptables based
packet filter that required me to open port 5560 manually.

> xx.xx.xx.xx:594 in the past so I'm not sure where 5560 come from?

For me, mgmtd listens on 5560 out of the box for a 2.1.2 rpm installation.

The first message on the connection was not a proper login
message. This used to happen in the past also because of
different client and server versions.

Are you absolutely sure that nothing changed in the meantime?
Things don't just stop working. Typically there is a reason.

Which heartbeat version do you run?

Thanks,

Dejan

Yeah, I agree. Things don't stop working... but this has. OK, that's
not true. hb_gui hasn't stopped working, the GUI still appears and
heartbeat is still operating fine, the only problem is that hb_gui will
now no longer connect to heartbeat.

I'm using 2.0.8 which is packaged for CentOS. I'm using 2.0.8. version
of of hb_gui and 2.0.8 of heartbeat.

I've installed hb_gui on three separate servers, two access the
heartbeat server via VPN and the third is on the same subnet as the
heartbeat server. All three connect using:

Server(:port) 192.168.1.65:694
Username heartbeat
Password xxxxxxx

The 'heartbeat' user is definitely in the haclient group (see /etc/group
below)

haclient:x:90:heartbeat

But every time I try to connect from either hb_gui client I get:

Failed in the authentication
User Name or Password may be wrong.
or the user desn't belong to the haclient group

on the GUI and the following in the log:

Nov 5 10:26:56 server01 mgmtd: [25556]: ERROR: on_listen receive login
msg failed
Nov 5 10:32:10 server01 mgmtd: [25556]: ERROR: on_listen receive login
msg failed

I'm at a bit of a loss what to do next really, I need to add another
Virtual IP today, but I can't connect :-(

Regards

John

The server for some reason doesn't understand the GUI. It never
gets to checking the credentials. Did you try to connect to
another node?

You can use cibadmin to edit the CIB. Try man cibadmin or
linux-ha.org for instructions.
