# Proxmox Credentials Verification Status

**Date**: 2025-12-09  
**Status**: ⚠️ **Verification Incomplete**

---

## Summary

Proxmox credentials are configured in `.env` file, but automated verification is encountering authentication failures. Manual verification is recommended.

---

## Configuration Status

### Environment Variables
- ✅ `.env` file exists
- ✅ `PROXMOX_ROOT_PASS` is set
- ✅ `PROXMOX_1_PASS` is set (derived from PROXMOX_ROOT_PASS)
- ✅ `PROXMOX_2_PASS` is set (derived from PROXMOX_ROOT_PASS)
- ⚠️ Default API URLs and usernames used (not explicitly set)

### Connectivity
- ✅ Site 1 (192.168.11.10:8006): Reachable
- ✅ Site 2 (192.168.11.11:8006): Reachable

### Authentication
- ❌ Site 1: Authentication failing
- ❌ Site 2: Authentication failing
- ⚠️ Error: "authentication failure"

---

## Verification Results

### Automated Tests
1. **API Endpoint Connectivity**: ✅ Both sites reachable
2. **Password Authentication**: ❌ Failing for both sites
3. **Username Formats Tested**:
   - `root` - Failed
   - `root@pam` - Failed
   - `root@pve` - Not tested

### Possible Causes
1. **Incorrect Password**: Password in `.env` may not match actual Proxmox password
2. **Username Format**: May require specific realm format
3. **Special Characters**: Password contains `@` which may need encoding
4. **API Restrictions**: API access may be restricted or require tokens
5. **2FA Enabled**: Two-factor authentication may be required

---

## Recommended Actions

### Option 1: Manual Verification via Web UI
1. Access Proxmox Web UI: https://192.168.11.10:8006
2. Log in with credentials from `.env`
3. Verify login works
4. Check Datacenter → Summary for resources
5. Document findings

### Option 2: Use API Tokens
1. Log into Proxmox Web UI
2. Navigate to: Datacenter → Permissions → API Tokens
3. Create new token:
   - Token ID: `crossplane-site1`
   - User: `root@pam`
   - Expiration: Set as needed
4. Copy token secret
5. Update `.env`:
   ```bash
   PROXMOX_1_API_TOKEN=your-token-secret
   PROXMOX_1_API_TOKEN_ID=crossplane-site1@root@pam!crossplane-site1
   ```

### Option 3: Use SSH Access
If SSH is available:
```bash
# Test SSH
ssh root@192.168.11.10 "pvesh get /nodes/ml110-01/status"

# Get resource info
ssh root@192.168.11.10 "nproc && free -g && pvesm status"
```

### Option 4: Verify Password Correctness
1. Test password via Web UI login
2. If password is incorrect, update `.env` file
3. Re-run verification script

---

## Next Steps

### Immediate
1. **Manual Verification**: Log into Proxmox Web UI and verify:
   - [ ] Password is correct
   - [ ] Resources are available
   - [ ] API access is enabled

2. **Choose Authentication Method**:
   - [ ] Fix password authentication
   - [ ] Switch to API tokens
   - [ ] Use SSH-based scripts

3. **Update Configuration**:
   - [ ] Fix `.env` file if needed
   - [ ] Or create API tokens
   - [ ] Test authentication again

### For Deployment
Once authentication is working:
1. Re-run resource quota check
2. Verify resources meet requirements
3. Proceed with deployment

---

## Resource Requirements Reminder

### Total Required
- **CPU**: 72 cores
- **RAM**: 140 GiB
- **Disk**: 278 GiB

### Manual Check Template
When verifying via Web UI, check:
- Total CPU cores available
- Total RAM available
- Storage pool space (local-lvm, ceph-fs, ceph-rbd)
- Current VM resource usage

---

## Troubleshooting

### If Password Authentication Fails
- Verify password via Web UI
- Check for 2FA requirements
- Try API tokens instead

### If API Tokens Don't Work
- Verify token permissions
- Check token expiration
- Verify token ID format

### If SSH Doesn't Work
- Verify SSH access is enabled
- Check SSH key or password
- Verify network connectivity
