poseidon: Failed to connect because: Authentication failed.

Working off older commit because of build issue. Will try look into the build issue as described here, tonight.

However now I am facing a new error I have not noticed before. My local faucet.yaml is not being loaded into Poseidon after ./helpers/run.

Right enough, inside poseidon master container, /etc/faucet/ dir was empty. I added the faucet.yaml file in and then got the following errors…

I have also checked the permissions on the faucet.yaml natively…

$ ls -ls /etc/faucet/faucet.yaml
4 -rw-rw-rw- 1 root sub-admins 1684 Jun 25 11:14 /etc/faucet/faucet.yaml

I am running Poseidon by docker stop and docker rm all containers, exporting the following…

export controller_uri=143.117.69.165
export controller_type=faucet
export controller_log_file=/var/log/faucet/faucet.log
export controller_config_file=/etc/faucet/faucet.yaml
export controller_mirror_ports='{"sw1":10}' # dp and switch port to mirror to
export collector_nic=s1-eth10  # set the NIC of the machine that traffic will be mirrored to
export max_concurrent_reinvestigations=1  # if running FAUCET, this should be set to 1, if BCF, it can be a larger number
export logger_level=INFO

and then running ./helpers/run.

How exactly does Poseidon update the original, local copy of faucet.yaml? I do not have full administrative privileges on the machine I am running and am wondering if that is causing this authentication issue?

The log level is sectional - also, exporting logging_level won’t actually do anything, since it’s not being picked up as a variable in ./helpers/run. You’ll need to set logging_level = DEBUG in each section you want it to be at the DEBUG level, rather than the default INFO. Notice there’s a config = True in each section of config/poseidon.config, the same would go for logging_level.

I’m still working on reproducing and tracking down the original issue - will update when I make some progress there.

Will try this tomorrow morning or tonight if I can squeeze it in. Thanks so much for your patience!
