Not able to create keys: Possible connectivity issue

Getting Nonce failed error message on Tyk Startup

Nonce failed! Node:d1680fa1-12db-4f7a-57e4-d6e41c5b417f Nonce was:XXXXXXX Should be: YYYYYYY"

How can I resolve this issue?

We’ll need the full log output of your gateway and your dashboard in order to diagnose.

This can be safely ignored if your APIs are loading as it may just be a failed heartbeat, it eventually synchronises.

There were no other error messages other than that when the Tyk started.
Once I tried to add a new API, the following error messages appeared.
Dashboard log:

time="Jun  6 19:23:29" level=info msg="Sending notification{ApiUpdated e36aeb71460a431a5329b73a01dfbc73}"

..........

time="Jun  6 19:24:24" level=error msg="Failed to register node, retrying in 5s" 
...............

Also, there were no issues shown in GUI and API created is in the shown.

From what I can tell:

  1. Your gateway can talk to the dashboard, this is good, it can see it but not register itself
  2. Your dashboard seems to have been running successfully enough to have an API list and to let you save one (which caused the update notification), but then mongodb failed or dropped the connection and the dashboard tried to reconnect (which it might have, who knows)
  3. Your gateway detects the pub/sub signal to reload (good, it can see redis) but then can’t seem to register wth the dashboard, I have a feeling it never saw the dashboard and never registered.
  4. Back to your dashboard logs, the dash seems to think that your license does not have any nodes available at all.

So, we can see everything seems to be connected, even though MongoDB is a little shaky, you must have a valid license, otherwise you couldn’t do anything in the dashboard, so you are either running more than your license allocation of gateway instances or you’ve been restarting your gateway jnstance aggressively.

Do you have a license in Your tyk_analytics.conf file?

Are you running more than one instance of the gateway container?

Have you been restarting the gateway a lot, there’s a TTL on node IDs so 20s is expected for a single node license between restarts?

  1. Yes, I have a license in tyk_analaytics.conf.

  2. No, Only 1 instance is running.

  3. Yes, I’m giving 1 min break when I re-install.

After few hours, when I created key again, it got created successfully. I created 2 apis and keys, then creating key for 3rd api gave me the earlier error

Tried again and managed to create key for the third api.

Is the third API open? You can’t create a token for an open API, that would also cause this error.

None of the APIs are open(keyless).

Can you share the config for your third API, is it live?

@Martin Tyk is working fine after re-installation. Thanks for your effort.

HI,

I’m facing the same problem here while creating an additional key. Tyk version 2.2. Configuration unchanged. I added 2 APIs.

Sorry, I meant the Tyk startup log messages.

For example, when I start Tyk I get something like this:

[Jul  8 10:27:22]  INFO Connection dropped, connecting..
[Jul  8 10:27:22]  INFO host-check-mgr: Starting Poller
[Jul  8 10:27:22]  INFO main: Setting up Server
[Jul  8 10:27:22]  INFO main: --> Standard listener (http)

Well I think I found the issue. I defined two APIs with path overlap.

The problem occurred afterwards and disappeared once I removed one of the two APIs. Thanks for the pointer.

I see, you’re welcome!

However staying with the httpbin.org example I would like to achieve the following:

tyk endpoint → origin endpoint
tyk/ip → httpbin.org/ip with authentication mode set to HMAC
tyk/html → httpbin.org/html without authentication mode set

I was creating two APIs that share the same Custom Domain and Listen path settings. That lead the the error above.

Is the scenario described above possible with tyk?

Thanks for having a look into that.

The scenario you’re describing could be achieved by using httpbin.org/ip as API 1 and httpbin.org/html as API 2, having both in the same API and with different authentication modes is not possible!
