Ethereum: Bitcoin Cli fails with an error of authority
As a programmer who works with the Ethereum blockchain, it is necessary to understand how to interact with the network using instruments of commands such as “Bitcoin -Cli”. However, I recently encountered a problem in which “Bitcoin-clli” failed to say authentication. In this article, we will examine the problem and present steps to solve it.
problem:
When launching “Bitcoin-clli” without arguments, the following output data is generated:
`
Use: Bitcoin-cli [Options]
Or
Bitcoin-
Bitcoin Cli version 1.2.3
Error: Authentication error for the user “User Name”: Found.
`
An error message indicates that “Bitcoin-Cli” cannot find an account with a specific user name.
Solution:
To solve this problem, you need to determine the correct username and password using the “-use” and -Pass option. Here is the corrected order:
`Bash
Bitcoind -DeDir =/Users/Varunvb/Download -Conf =/Users/Varunvb/Download/Bitcoin.conf -Deemon 'Username' -Pass 'Password'
Explanation:
- The “-Ser specifies the username for authentication.
- “-Pass” option determines the password for the user.
- You should replace “” username “and” password “for your Ethereum account certificates.
Example of case use:
For example, let’s say you want to move ETH from the wallet to another. You will start the following command:
`Bash
Bitcoind -DeDir =/Users/Varunvb/Download -conf =/Users/Varunvb/Download/Bitcoin.conf -Deemon -Ser 'Myusname' -pass' Myusname '-password'
This will be authenticated with the Ethereum wallet and will allow you to move ETH between the wallet.
Tips and variants:
- If you use another username or password, make sure you update the “Bitcoin.conf” file.
- You can also specify more users by separating them by commas in the “-uerer. For example:
`Bash
Bitcoind -DeDir =/Users/Varunvb/Download -conf =/Users/Varunvb/Downloads/Bitcoin.conf -Deemon -Ser 'User name1, User name2'
According to these steps and tips, you should be able to solve the authentication error using “Bitcoin-Clllli` while starting it as a demon.
