Talk: Creating new chat w/high performance backend - auth failure

Appears I have turn and signaling setup correctly (I think), yet I am getting auth failures when attempting to create a new chat. IP 192.168.2.126 is the reverse proxy IP address. CoTurn, janus, nats-server and nextcloud-signaling v20.0.1 has been installed on one server and turn on another with a separate fqdn. Any thoughts on what could be causing the auth failures? When looking at browser dev tools I see a 500 error for room creation.

I’ll note that without the hpb configured, no issues with creating chats, etc. I have a few trusted servers configured and all is working well.

Can you double check the secret ?

Thanks for the reply. The backend secret or turn secret?

The backend secret. The signaling server fails to authenticate to your instance. Double check the secret or try something like „1234“ to see if it works then

Solved! Had the wrong backend-1 URL referenced. Thanks again for your willingness to engage. I’m learning :slight_smile:
