[Bacula-users] Windows client refuses to connect

Hi everyone.

I’ve run into a strange problem recently.
We’ve had a bacula client running on a Windows 2008 Server machine without any
problems whatsoever for a few years. All of a sudden it has stopped working 
telling me
that the authorization fails.

I did check the passwords back and forth, set them to simpler ones, checked if 
the
file daemon was running, checked the network connectivity. I can ping both 
machines vice/versa.
I can telnet via ports 9101 from client to director and via 9102 from director 
to client. TLS is not
configured.

I’ve tried to get things working by restarting the service, restarting the 
Windows machine itself,
restarting the director and storage daemon on the bacula server, restarting the 
bacula server itself.

I’ve resorted to re-install the bacula client on the windows machine, but the 
problem prevails.

I can’t connect using bconsole.exe nor bat.exe. The error message I get on the 
client is:

Director authorization problem.
Most likely the passwords do not agree.
If you are using TLS, there may have been a certificate validation error during 
the TLS handshake.

The error I get on the server is:

29-Apr 14:59 bacula-dir: ERROR in authenticate.c:418 Unable to authenticate 
console "*UserAgent*" at client:192.168.xxx.xxx:36131.

My bconsole.conf file looks like this:

Director {
  Name = bacula-dir
  DIRport = 9101
  address = bacula
  Password = "test”
}

The corresponding bacula-dir.conf file like this:

Client {
  Name = winserv2000-fd
  Address = winserv2000
  Catalog = MySQL
  Password = "test"
  File Retention = 60 days
  Job Retention = 12 months
  AutoPrune = yes
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
}


I’m using the 5.2.10 client and a 5.0.2 server.

I’m probably missing something, but I’m out of ideas right now.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Korbinian
