401 While Creating a Connector

[markjbyrne]

hey folks, I am encountering a 401 when I attempt to create a postgres sink connector using the terraform provider. Error below,

confluent_connector.postgres_sink_connector: Creating...
╷
│ Error: error creating Connector: error creating Connector: error sending validation request: 401 Unauthorized
│ 
│   with confluent_connector.postgres_sink_connector,
│   on main.tf line 238, in resource "confluent_connector" "postgres_sink_connector":
│  238: resource "confluent_connector" "postgres_sink_connector" {

I do not believe this is an issue with the terraform service account as I am able to create all other resources related to creating a connector (service account, ACLs etc.) using it.

However, I have also tested the database credentials by successfully creating a Postgres sink connector via the console using the same creds.

Hard coding the database credentials into the main.tf file to eliminate credential retrieval via secrets has also led to the same 401 error.

Can you provide any pointers to what this 401 error is related to to help me narrow down the cause.

I have solved this issue. It was due to the service account being created with a reference to a specific provider alias.
