It appears that you are connecting to “localhost” vs the name of your director.  The names have to match in all of the config files and the rule-of-thumb is don’t use localhost  

If you need further assistance you will need to post your config files for your director and console.

Subject: [Bacula-users] bconsole connection to Director flapping

Hello together,
we have a running bacula instance working fine for months.
Since a few days we face multiple times per day the issue, that the
bconsole connection to director is failing.

We did not change the configuration nor restart any of the bacula
daemons. After a while (Between minutes and hours) the connection
bconsole to director works fine again.

The call looks like this:

root@backupHost:~# bconsole
Connecting to Director 127.0.0.1:9101

[...] Waiting some minutes

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.
Please see
for help.


I have read the suggestion. Passwords are correct, without changing
anything bconsole can connect after a few tries.

Unfortunately what discourages is the missing log informations.
The only thing I find in the logs is this line
   24-May 12:26 backupHost-sd: ERROR in dircmd.c:155 Connection request
from client failed.
which is logged by the storage daemon. I know from reading the MySQL
Database and stracing the processes, that backup jobs are running in the
time, while I cannot connect. The Max parallel Job Limit is not hit,
normally there are 5 jobs running, the limit is 20.

We are running bacula 5.2.6 on Debian 8.3

Any suggestions what could cause this or how I may locate the root cause
of this?

Thanks in advance!

Kind Regards
Dirk
