Authentication missing, please enter username/password from Config->General

Post by gers1978 »

My log shows this error every hour or so, but the only 3rd party plugin I use is myNZB on iPhone, and it's set up and working fine using the API key.

Any ideas?

Something is sending API requests to SABnzbd.
Some of these third-party tools deliberately send incorrect calls to find out what the authentication method is.
Since some releases the API has a special call to get this method.
Please complain to the writer of myNZB.
(After you have verified that the culprit is actually myNZB)

I'm running SAB on my MBP and my Mac Mini. I have SickBeard set up for both, working fine. I also have CouchPotato setup for the Mini, working fine.

On the Mini (and not the MBP), my SAB gives a "Authentication missing, please enter username/password from Config->General into your 3rd party program:" every 30 minutes, and for the life of me I can't work out what the culprit is. I don't use myNZB or any other iOS app, etc.
