Nakama authentication fails: server key required

Lex · October 27, 2020, 10:43am

Hello,
I’m trying to use Nakama and do a simple user authentication, following this simple example:

heroiclabs/nakama-defold/blob/master/example/example.script

local nakama = require "nakama.nakama"
local log = require "nakama.util.log"
local defold = require "nakama.engine.defold"


local function email_login(client, email, password, username)
	local body = nakama.create_api_account_email(email, password)
	local result = nakama.authenticate_email(client, body, true, username)
	if result.token then
		nakama.set_bearer_token(client, result.token)
		return true
	end
	log("Unable to login")
	return false
end

local function device_login(client)
	local body = nakama.create_api_account_device(defold.uuid())
	local result = nakama.authenticate_device(body, true)
	if result.token then

This file has been truncated. show original

Here is the error I get from the server

DEBUG:SCRIPT: authenticate_email() with coroutine
DEBUG:SCRIPT: HTTP	POST	http://xxx.xx.xx.xx:7350/v2/account/authenticate/email?create=true&username=britzl
DEBUG:SCRIPT: DATA	{"password":"foobar123","email":"bjorn@defold.se","vars":{"_":""}}
ERROR:DLIB: Not all bytes were handled during the response (45 bytes left). Method: POST Status: 401
ERROR:SCRIPT: HTTP request to 'http://142.93.3.23:7350/v2/account/authenticate/email?create=true&username=britzl' failed (http result: -3  socket result: 0)
DEBUG:SCRIPT: {"error":"Server key required","code":16,"message":"Server key required"}

Has anyone managed to solve this? I’m guessing the is some data we’re forgetting to send but I haven’t figured it out yet.

My dependencies:

Thanks for your help.

Have you configured your Nakama client?

github.com

heroiclabs/nakama-defold/blob/master/example/example.script#L36-L43


	local config = {
		host = "127.0.0.1",
		port = 7350,
		username = "defaultkey",
		password = "",
		engine = defold,
	}
	local client = nakama.create_client(config)

I got it working.
The fix is to add a HTTP header

Authorization : "Basic base64_encoded_version_of_server_key:"

in the requests.

I’ll do a pull request once I have some time because the current version on the repo doesn’t work.

Hey @Lex , did you ever get around to doing the PR? I seem to be having a similar issue now when authenticating with GameCenter or Sign in with Apple.
