perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Antoine Delvaux <>]

Hi Daniel,

This looks like an esmond authentication issue.

Your /etc/perfsonar/regulartesting.conf file should have one or multiple 
<measurement_archive> sections referencing the database 
http://localhost/esmond/perfsonar/archive/ with a perfsonar username and a 
password.

Can you go through the steps listed at 
http://docs.perfsonar.net/multi_ma_install.html#authenticating-by-username-and-api-key
 and check if that is what is used in the /etc/perfsonar/regulartesting.conf 
file?

Antoine.
