Unable to authenticate with Proxmox VE 3.4

[EmmanuelKasper]

On calling, vagrant up, I get an authentification error with:

vagrant up --provider=proxmox
Bringing machine 'box' up with 'proxmox' provider...
Unable to communicate with proxmox server:

VagrantPlugins::Proxmox::ApiError::UnauthorizedError

I get authenticate over curl and I get the required Proxmox API ticket:

curl -k -d "username=root@pam&password=foobar"  https://pve3.local:8006/api2/json/access/ticket

Here the relevant part of my Vagrantfile:

egrep '(endpoint|user_name|password)' Vagrantfile 
        proxmox.endpoint = 'https://pve3.local:8006/api2/json/'
        proxmox.user_name = 'root@pam'
        proxmox.password = 'foobar

Am using a wrong vagrant ( 1.6.5), a wrong PVE version, or missing something else ?

[MauroCasula]

Any news here? I'm getting this error too..

Hi,

I had the same problem in my current setup. Just change the proxmox.endpoint from 'https://pve3.local:8006/api2/json/' to 'https://pve3.local:8006/api2/json'

Cheers

I am getting a similar error

but changing the end-point doesnt work for me

INFO interface: error: Unable to communicate with proxmox server:

I blogged out my steps for this http://niccolox.org/compile-custom-vagrant-plugin-for-proxmox-provider/

VagrantPlugins::Proxmox::ApiError::UnauthorizedError Unable to communicate with proxmox server:

I've also run into this issue, changing the end-point doesn't help.

To get around this you need to specify which source to lookup the user in. If the user is a local PAM user, then 'user@pam' format must be used. If user is PVE, then it must be 'user@pve'

I have the same error with proxmox 4.2, and I don't have any / at endpoint end.

I have also set root@pam as user, without success.
