[Kea-users] Kea HA Heartbeat Failure

[duluxoz]

Hi Veronique,


Thanks for that - that's what we were missing: the auth info inside the 
peers block.


A note to the Kea Document Maintainers: I do not recall *ever* reading 
*anywhere* in the doco or sample config files where the basic-auth-user 
and basic-auth-password need to be included in the ha->peers block. Of 
course, I may have missed it, but still, it may behove you to make 
something like this much more predominant in the documentation *and* 
sample config files.


Thanks to everyone who helped us out in this - we really appreciate it


Cheers
