Security enabled gemfire clusters and spring boot gemfire locator authentication issues

[Vaidhyanathan Pranatharthiharan]

We have 2 different physicsl servers ,each server has 1 spring boot gemfire server ​and 1 Spring boot gemfire locator. In the gemfire property file of every locator through locators attribute each other locator ip is addressed and security class is provided.in the gemfire server properties we have security user and password credentials

​

​if both locators are stopped and started it works fine without issues but while one locator is running other locator isrestarted it fails with a security authentication issue, this issue goes away only if the locator thats running is stopped .

​

​

Please Provide any pointers on this issue​

Hello Vaidhyanathan,

 

Thanks for contacting the Pivotal Support Community!.

That said, the issue is that every member (including the restarted locator) needs to authenticate against the existing locator when joining the distributed system, you basically need to have the credentials configured for every single member. Please have a look at Security [1] for further details, and open a Support Ticket through the Pivotal Support Portal [2] (remember to include configuration files and logs) if you keep hitting this issue, one of our support engineers will be able to provide further assistance after reviewing the artefacts.

Best regards.
