The problem
Hi, I've encountered an abnormal authentication problem on my home assistant instance running with docker.
I wanted to connect via the site in the usual way, with my credentials stored in my digital safe. This fails even though I haven't made any changes related to authentication. (User who owns the instance)
I've managed to fix the problem, but in a roundabout way. The help provided in the documentation didn't work . I don't know if the documentation is out of date or if this is a bug introduced in the latest versions of Home Assistant.
I was able to connect to the console of my container with :
docker exec -it homeassistant bashHowever, the following command:
hassdoes not allow me to continue, whether the container is started or not.The following command couldn't find my user, even after checking that the username corresponded to my owner:
hass --script auth --config /config change_password existing_user new_passwordHere's what I did to correct the problem:
My owner was still logged in on the phone. The change password interface wasn't working. I had a non-existent password message if I recall correctly. So I tried to create a temporary administrator user, to see if this could change my owner password. But it didn't.
I applied the solution found here Thanks to @ayeulC
In my hass/.storage/auth_provider.homeassistant file I only had my temporary user created, but nothing for my owner, nor for my partner's user:
{ "version": 1, "minor_version: 1, "key": "auth_provider.homeassistant", "data": { "users": [ { "username": "test", "password": "hashPassword" } ] } }
So I added a block with my user and gave it the password hash hello:
{ "version": 1, "minor_version": 1, "key": "auth_provider.homeassistant", "data": { "users": [ { "username": "myUser", "password": "JDJiJDEyJG5QMWN2NEhpSzNQZkJYMVR6NWE4Ry5lamI2MGhMLzU1U2NhSlAzL09uZURDb01VMVNGQ1NX" }, { "username": "test", "password": "hashPassword" } ] } }
from there I was able to connect with my user with the hello password and then change his password.
