Report "Authentication failed." when run the netconf-console command

HI,
I use the command:
netconf-console --copy-config=/dev/null --db=running

to delete the running datastore, but after I delete, the netconf-console can’t connect the the confd server now, it always reports the “Authentication failed”, what’s the root cause? Thanks!

/root/confd/bin > netconf-console --db=running --get-config
Authentication failed.

The confd server is running:
/root/confd/bin > netstat -anp|grep confd

Can it be that you have deleted AAA part of database and thus lost all authentication configuration?

Hi,
Thanks for the response! Yes, I deleted the AAA part of database, the confd is OK after after restore it.

Thanks
