Details

    • Bug
    • Status: Closed
    • Major
    • Resolution: Fixed
    • proton-c-0.17.0
    • proton-c-0.29.0
    • cpp-binding
    • Fedora 25
      Client: examples/cpp/helloworld
      Server: Dispatch router listener configured with authenticatePeer: yes and a suitable common sasl mechanism

    Description

      If you specify the URL with no credentials:

      cpp> ./helloworld 192.168.0.16:5674/aaa
amqp:connection:framing-error: AMQP header mismatch: Insufficient data to determine protocol [''] (connection aborted)

      This error message is true in a strict sense but does not give a user much of a clue about what's wrong.

      The same setup with good URL credentials:

      cpp> ./helloworld user:password@192.168.0.16:5674/aaa
Hello World!

      The same setup with bad URL credentials:

      cpp> ./helloworld user:passwords@192.168.0.16:5674/aaa
amqp:unauthorized-access: Authentication failed [mech=DIGEST-MD5]

      This error message is good.
