Hi, I am getting a lot of authentication errors today, cannot join any computers and also sometimes on the website. Are you having any problems? Cheers, Andrej |

Do you have a recent BOINC client? 7.2.x or later? Older BOINC clients may not work with https. |

7.6.33 from his/her computer details. That is correct, 7.6.33 on Windows, 7.6.31 on Linux, both throw the error when attaching the project. On Linux I work directly via shell, no gui, on Win via Boinc Client standard. |

7.6.33 from his/her computer details. Your profile shows 2 computers: https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/hosts_user.php?sort=rpc_time&rev=0&show_all=1&userid=504648 1 is running windows 10, 1 is running windows 7. Both got WUs from the sixtrack subproject. Be so kind as to describe your problem more detailed. |

Okay, I have 2 more Linux machines, running Ubunt with Kernel 4.4.0-75-generic, shell only, no gui. I try to add the project via shell with boinccmd --project_attach https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome <weak account key from my profile> and I get Operation failed: authentication error When I try to do that with Boinc Tasks or the standard boinc client, I get an error AddProject: Error -224 Whatever that means... |

Maybe you could try the following: Create the xml-file account_lhcathome.cern.ch_lhcathome.xml with contents: <account> <master_url>https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/</master_url> <authenticator>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</authenticator> <project_name>LHC@home</project_name> </account> I would use the strong authenticator. Put that xml-file in BOINC's data-directory and restart BOINC. |

Thanks CP for the help! On my Linux box, I simply use this command from the command line: boinc_client --attach_project https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/ My client is 7.6.22 and it also worked fine with 7.2.42. |
