Help solve the case of the [interface:211] Authentication missing warnings

[randyharris]

I keep getting these error codes, but I don't have any 3rd party applications working in conjunction with sabnzbd+, not sure what would be causing this.

My warnings:

Usually this means that you have another session to SABnzbd
open in the browser, or on another computer.

Startup SABnzbd with the command line option -w1
wait until you get the error again.
Then check the content of cherrypy.log in the logs folder.
This might give a clue about what is calling SABnzbd.

The api key is a security measure.
It could be an exploit, however unlikely.
Your first reaction should not be to disable the api key.

I'm on Mac OS X Snow Leopard, tried but can't figure out how to fire up SABnzbd from terminal using a -w1 switch.

?

Thanks

I  made a mistake, the -w1 would not help you anyway.

I get the same errors too, even though the only app I use, MyNZB, works fine with my server(s).  Both are running Snow Leopard and  0.5.0

I should add my api auth is on as well as the http login/password, both of which work fine ... that is, I'm not having problems using the apps, just keep getting the error message.  I have no other browser logged into SAB at the same time.

This issue went away for me when I upgraded to 0.5.0

I'm getting this error on v0.6.12.

It's a bummer, because it says: "API Key missing, please enter the api key from Config->General into your 3rd party program:"

After the colon, there's nada! Which 3rd party program is a problem???

- Thanx

Probably some browser add-on.
SABnzbd doesn't know which one it is.
