Curve Auth error

[felipegs]

I'am trying to configure zeromq with curve authentication,

var socket = zeromq.socket('rep'); socket.identity = 'server' + process.pid;

socket.zap_domain = "test";

socket.curve_server = 1;

and I got this error Error: Invalid argument at null.curve_server (/Users/felipe/Documents/workspace/cockpit-proxy/node_modules/zmq/lib/index.js:236:22) at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/felipe/Documents/workspace/cockpit-proxy/lib/receiver.js:43:21) at Module._compile (module.js:456:26) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:474:10) at Module.load (module.js:356:32) at Function.Module._load (module.js:312:12) at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:497:10) at startup (node.js:119:16) at node.js:906:3

What version of libzmq do you have installed? You'll need at least 4.0 for curve authentication to work.

[felipegs]

$ brew info zeromq zeromq: stable 4.0.4, HEAD with libsodium Plain auth it is ok!

[msealand]

Do you have libsodium installed? libzmq needs it for curve encryption. If you don't, you may need to install libsodium, and then reinstall libzmq for it to pick it up.

EDIT: D'oh, I just saw that you said libsodium was installed already... sorry.

[msealand]

Do you happen to remember which order you installed libsodium and zeromq? I tried reproducing this and I was able to trigger the error by installing zeromq first and then libsodium. I then fixed it by uninstalling both and installing libsodium first and zeromq second. (This was on a Mac using Homebrew)

[felipegs]

Yes, that's it. I installed again libsodium and zeromq, and it works perfectly!

Thanks

Did the above but am still getting this; appears lib sodium is available:

$ brew info zmq
zeromq: stable 4.0.4 (bottled), HEAD
http://www.zeromq.org/
/usr/local/Cellar/zeromq/4.0.4 (62 files, 2.8M) *
  Poured from bottle
From: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/commits/master/Library/Formula/zeromq.rb
==> Dependencies
Build: pkg-config ✔
Optional: libsodium ✔
==> Options
--universal
    Build a universal binary
--with-libsodium
    Build with libsodium support
--with-pgm
    Build with PGM extension
--HEAD
    install HEAD version
==> Caveats
To install the zmq gem on 10.6 with the system Ruby on a 64-bit machine,
you may need to do:

    ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install zmq -- --with-zmq-dir=/usr/local/opt/zeromq

Any other ideas?

This seems to be an issue with the mac install (possibly my setup), just did a clean install on vagrant and all is working as expected.

[allofthesepeople]

For anyone else running into this:

unlike building from source, you must specify --with-libsodium for homebrew (brew install zeromq --with-libsodium).

@allofthesepeople Thanks! To get it to work with czmq I did:

brew uninstall czmq
brew uninstall zeromq
brew uninstall libsodium
brew install libsodium
brew install zeromq --with-libsodium
brew install czmq

@mattias01 no problem, glad it helped someone else
