Hello everyone,
I recently downloaded the latest PacketFence ISO (version 14.1). However,
whenever I try to add a new role or switch, I receive an "unknown error", even
though the roles and switches actually get created.
The logs show the following error:
FATAL: unable to connect to database: Access denied for user 'pf'@'localhost'
(using password: YES) at /usr/local/pf/lib/CHI/Driver/DBI.pm line 28.
ERROR: unable to connect to database: Access denied for user 'pf'@'localhost'
(using password: YES) at /usr/local/pf/lib/CHI/Driver/DBI.pm line 28.
At first, I assumed the issue might be related to the password, but I verified
that I'm able to successfully log in manually using the configured password for
the user pf. And this command showes my password.
root@packetfence:~# /usr/local/pf/bin/pfcmd pfconfig show resource::Database
'db' => 'pf',
'port' => '3306',
'host' => 'localhost',
'pass' => bless( do{\(my $o = MeinMegaGeheimesPasswort '')},
'pf::config::crypt::string' ),
'user' => 'pf',
'unix_socket' => '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'
Here are the permissions currently set:
MariaDB [(none)]> SHOW GRANTS FOR 'pf'@'%';
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Has anyone experienced a similar issue, or could this be related to permission
configuration problems in PacketFence 14.1?
Thank you very much!
Best regards, Kai Bass
