Authentication Failed error

[German Zavala Villafuerte]

Hello, I came across another problem during the routing_with_IPv4 file, the same error occurs during the exploring IPv6 file. The error is. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Fail: Authentication failed.

This may indicate that you may be having problems with the SSH key setup, have you tried running the “ConfigureEnviorment” and “HelloFabric” notebooks on the “fabric_config” directory?

[German Zavala Villafuerte]

I ran the “ConfigureEnviroment” without any problems. As for the “HelloFabric” everything runs fine until Step 6 where I get an authenticationException: Authentication Failed error.

Your *bastion* key is not properly set up. No other notebooks will execute properly until you can run this notebook all the way through. You can try to troubleshoot your setup – make sure that ~/work/fabric_config/fabric_rc file has a variable declaration FABRIC_BASTION_KEY_LOCATION that points to the correct file – this is the most likely problem.

Alternatively you can regenerate a bastion key pair and try from the beginning:

1. Please go to the FABRIC portal click Experiments -> Manage SSH keys
2. Select the ‘Bastion’ tab and generate a new Bastion key pair.
3. Download both the public and the private parts of the keypair
4. Copy the private part of the key pair into the ~/work/fabric_config/ directory in your Jupyter Hub (assuming you are using the Jupyter Hub)
   • Note that in the file browser in Jupyter Hub ~/work/ is not visible, which is fine – you can simply select fabric_config and drag and drop the key file in there
5. Re execute ‘Configure Environment’ notebook
   • Making sure to update the path to the bastion private key with the new name
6. Re execute ‘Hello FABRIC’ notebook start to finish and make sure it completes

During Configure the environment,

THis is what I am getting:

bash: zip: command not found
fabric_ssh_tunnel_tools/
fabric_ssh_tunnel_tools/stop_ssh_tunnel.sh
fabric_ssh_tunnel_tools/ssh_config
fabric_ssh_tunnel_tools/README
fabric_ssh_tunnel_tools/start_ssh_tunnel.sh
fabric_ssh_tunnel_tools/slice_key
fabric_ssh_tunnel_tools/.ipynb_checkpoints/
fabric_ssh_tunnel_tools/.ipynb_checkpoints/README-checkpoint
fabric_ssh_tunnel_tools/bastion_key
cp: cannot stat 'fabric_ssh_tunnel_tools.zip': No such file or directory
: 1

Also When i go for "Hello Fabric" again it says authentication failed in the last step. I have checked all the file and directory and path all are correct. Can you please check and let me know.
