Hi, if i use the arkmanager broadcast @myinstanz "your message here" command (as root) i become the error

Authentication failed at -e line 23 RCON is enabled but i have no extra client installed.

Does it work if you run the command as the user you set the server up under?

Note also that each instance needs separate ports - including game, query and RCON ports.

RCON requires the server admin password, which is read from either GameUserSettings.ini or from the arkmanager instance config. If a different server is listening on your configured ports, or if the game is running as a different user to that configured in arkmanager.cfg, then the server admin password is likely to be different, resulting in an authentication failure.

I found the mistake. I had special characters in my admin password. After removing it, it works.
