vmbackup httpAuth 401 about victoriametrics HOT 4 CLOSED

Thanks, I was able to create the snapshot
vmbackup-prod -storageDataPath=/data/victoriametrics-server -snapshot.createURL='https://<user>:<password>@vm.fqdn:8428/snapshot/create' -dst=fs:///data/snapshots/victoriametrics-server

Hi @RKO1337! As far as I can see, you have specified tls in the storage, but you didn't provide that specification for the VM backup. When vmbackup tried to create a snapshot without tls flags, it got a 401 response code.

// create Transport
	tr, err := httputils.Transport(createSnapshotURL, *tlsCertFile, *tlsKeyFile, *tlsCAFile, *tlsServerName, *tlsInsecureSkipVerify)
	if err != nil {
		return "", err
	}
	hc := &http.Client{Transport: tr}

You need to specify the tls flags in your vmbackup service

Thanks for your reply @dmitryk-dk.
Yes, storage is configured with tls and httpAuth.

But vmbackup should be able to connect with with the supplied httpAuth.password and httpAuth.username.

For example a curl with username and password works as expected.

curl -u 'xxxx:xxxx'  https://vm.fqdn:8428/snapshot/create
{"status":"ok","snapshot":"20240424095325-17C8E8A10D930F2D"}

Thanks for your replay @dmitryk-dk. Yes, storage is configured with tls and httpAuth.

{"status":"ok","snapshot":"20240424095325-17C8E8A10D930F2D"}

If you want to use httpAuth from the vmbackup, you should specify user and password in the snapshot.createURL flag
