Authentication Failure When Setting Username/Password for Mount Point

Authentication Issues with Mount Points and Debugging Request

Issue Description

I'm experiencing two issues with the software:

1. Authentication Problem:

   • I'm trying to set up username/password authentication for a mount point, but connections are being refused
   • Upon investigation, I found that authenticate_user_request (con, &req)) is failing because on_get_user(con, &checkuser) == NULL
   • This prevents connections from ROVER
   • I've tried testing with u-center and RTKLIB (rtknavi)
   • I am able to operate it without username and password.

2. Debugging Request:

   • I would like to display xa_debug messages to help with troubleshooting
   • Could you please provide instructions on how to enable and view these debug messages?

Environment

• Software: Docker
• Testing tools: u-center and RTKLIB (rtknavi)

Questions

1. How can I properly configure username/password authentication for mount points to allow ROVER connections?
2. What is the proper way to enable and view xa_debug messages?

Thank you in advance for your help and for maintaining this excellent project. Your work is greatly appreciated!

Many apologies for my slow response. I've been busy with other stuff.

I will dust off my C programming skills and investigate how to enable debugging.

I'm surprised that you can't authenticate your rover. It's working for me using Emlid equipment.

Just to confirm, you need to edit the files sourcetable.dat and ntripcaster.conf in ntripcaster/conf BEFORE you build the docker image.

In sourcetable.dat you set up your mountpoints. In ntripcaster.conf you set up your rover user names and passwords. You need one line for each of the mountpoints you specified in sourcetable.dat. In this file, the mountpoint names must start with "/" (but not in sourcetable.dat). For example:

/uk_leatherhead:user1:password1,user2:password2
creates user names "user1" and "user2" which a rover can use to connect to that mountpoint.

You can create a public mountpoint with no user name or password. Any rover can connect to that mountpoint:

/uk_leatherhead

The mountpoint names are case sensitive - "MY_MOUNTPOINT", "My_Mountpoint" and "my_mountpoint" are all different names.

Thank you for your reply.
It seems that the settings for mountpoints and user passwords are correct.
Since I can successfully connect when using a public mountpoint, it seems that the issue is occurring during authentication.
I still haven't been able to resolve the problem, so I would appreciate it if you could also tell me how to enable debugging and to solve the issue.
