Hi all,

I keep having this error pop in my logs

2012-10-14 02:40:53,909 WARNING: Authentication missing, please enter username/password from Config->General into your 3rd party program:

I am using Sick Beard, CouchPotato and headphones.
I checked in everyone of them, I put the correct API key and sabnzbd http username + password in their respective configs.
Yet I keep getting this warning.

This is what happened around the time this warning occured:

I have no idea what is causing it. Any suggestions?

Firewall Software: SUSE firewall
Are you using IPV6? no
Is the issue reproducible? not sure how to reproduce it but it's occurring regularly

You failed to set SABnzbd's apikey in the other programs.
The key is in Config->General.

Posted: **October 15th, 2012, 10:45 am**

The API key is set and correct in all 3 applications

Posted: **October 15th, 2012, 10:54 am**

Well, it just works.
If you think otherwise, try an URL in your browser.
Try:
http://host:port/sabnzbd/api?mode=qstatus&apikey=YOURAPIKEY

It works, the warning must be triggered by something else

Well, then the solution is easy:
Change SAB's listening port from 8080 to something else, for example 8090.
Start SABnzbd, and check that there is no authentication missing message in your log.
Then switch your first application to port 8090, check it works, and check your log
Then switch your second application to port 8090, check it works, and check your log
Then switch your third application to port 8090, check it works, and check your log

If you get errors, you know which application it causes. Solve that.

If the errors are gone, you're a happy person.

Or if it's too much bother, disable the warning in Config->Specials.
