i asked before and no one ever replied so i guess no one has an answer or ever figured it out

 

i get thousands of these errors.. whats causing it and how do i track it down... its all from my desktop pc

i have no maleware or av running.. i erased couple user names on unraid i not using...  i can access my shares.. i only have one unraid gui open 

 

so whats causing it there has to be some test its just filling up the logs... its driving me nuts been going on a  couple weeks now

there has to be something to help figure like a trace route or something to tell ya what is it doing.. i dont even know what the error really is

Could be a misconfigured app on your PC/bad reverse proxy config, resulting in something like a sync client e.g. nextcloud that's trying over and over to reach a nextcloud instance but hits the unraid GUI instead.

like an app that access unraid?  only app that access's unraid server at the moment is

battle net and epic game launcher  saves  game files to a mapped Drive letter to the a game drive pool

 

i dont have a snyc client  or nextcloud..  

 

reverse proxy?   i use Pfsense for that  i guess i do?  i dont use a proxy  i just use pfsense as my router  

 

is there any program that unraid tells u what program its accessing or what?  i dont even know what this authlimit means really  its like  you cant access unraid too many times?

ill try turning off epic launcher and battle net   and see if it stops..

cuz the error is happening every 2-10 seconds now lol ugh

 

 

update.. well its not  epic or battle net  causing it   the errors still coming in   even those programs are closed down  

ugh

You have a lot of network settings and assignments to varying NICs.  I would delete /flash/config/network.cfg to get back to the default network settings and slowly add back your settings, watch your log, and see if any of those is causing the issue.

You can try to run tcpview on the PC and filter by destination = server to see what's connecting to it

 

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/tcpview

ah ok ill give both a try as its frustrating...  i closed all programs  and it still gets bombarded

 

as for the network  ok i can do that

i use the onboard nic for Unraid

 

and then the 4 port nic realtek   i only use that as a pass through to Home assistant VM so it doesnt get bogged down with the unraid nic as i dont have a 10g network..

but ill try the network and ill try that tcpview.. i appreciate it

 

so  i tried that programm the only thing that access's  192.168.0.3  is  "system" and "chrome"

 

what i did find is if i access my server file explorer or chrome/IE   using  "tardis" the name for 192.168.0.3  it will work  but after sometime  i get those authlimit.. i find also  if i access   "tardis"  on chrome and it gets busy  like installing on the apps page.. and i open another window and i try tardis  or 192.168.0.3   it cant access it but i guess i get an authlimit.. cuz i try 192.168.0.3 or tardis on IE while chrome is busy.. i can access it and i see authlimits...  what does that mean?

 

and i guess if i stop the array and i have a file explorer open  at \\tardis     and i restart the array  as i added 2 Parity drives today..  i found it caused a authlimit...

 

is this something you guys seen before?  and is it due to using the name of the server instead of 192.168.0.3

 

also i didnt try  the delete network.cfg yet.. ill try it tommorow hopefully after the parity building is done...   but does that sound right the issue i found above..

 

as i know i had that issue before 

 

if i cant access     http://tardis/     anymore  if i type it http://192.168.0.3  then i can  unless it somehow busy then i cant and i switch to the other browser then i can  re access it

 

Likely a local device with incorrect creds, shutdown all local computers if easy and see if logs disappear. Credential manager with incorrect password for example?

whats a credential manager?  and   the logs seem to only point to my desktop pc..  the other pcs on the network  dont access unraid..  and just tablet that access home assistant..

 

it seems    if i use the \\tardis   instead of \\192.168.0.3   will work  like normal then its hit and miss when that pops up  

i dunno  and...

 

how do i clear the credential manager in windows 10?  ill do that on my desktop pc  and my other computers that access unraid are laptops and they are in there laptop bags so they not doing anything

so i did search for credential manager

so i have just 2 credentials  in the Windows credentials

one is for

\\tardis 

and other is

\\192.168.0.3

 

so they both the same...   i created back in march 2022    but this issue been happen last few weeks now

ill be trying the delete  network.cfg    or pull out the 3 network cables from the 4 port realtek card and reboot and try without it  once parity rebuild is done to see if its leaking but those 3 ports are for home assistant...  

 

so what is a authlimit just that unraid only says allows 10 authorized connections  say as an example

Windows credentials considers these to be different not the same.

i mean    they both point to the same location    but saved in the credentials separately

those are the only 2 saved credentials  to unraid  is what i ment

Did you ever get this resolved? Its been giving me a headache for a couple years now! I keep trying different things and nothing seems to stop it from happening (or track down the reason for it happening in the first place)! I have 10+ PCs that access the server and it can show any of those PC's ip addresses randomly! It also can crashe large file transfers, if the "propfind" event happens while i'm opening a big file, which is really frustrating! But its extreamly random. Some days, it will be quiet, some days its happening every half an hour (on a random PC's IP)! I see allot of people complain about this, but no real solutions!

nginx: #date# [error] 18865#18865: *1451745 limiting requests, excess: 20.844 by zone "authlimit", client: #client ip#, server: , request: "PROPFIND /login HTTP/1.1", host: "#host name#"

@miicar i dont get it anymore well i do and i dont if i remember correctly what i kinda did was

1. i made sure not to leave unraid dashboard loaded all the time just sitting idle i like to do that but that seems to be one of the problems as i always working on it turning on a docker etc.. so i found that causes some of the authlimits

2. another thing i did back then too was in windows, goto the credientials manager.. and delete the creditials of the windows i using and make a user account on the unraid so if your windows acount is joeblow.. make a user on unraid joeblow.. and to your shares you want... that also seemed to fix it...

3. i still get loss of connection and i think its just cuz windows 11 is so terrible, from the Explorer \\tardis i do and it doesnt erase the drop down. you gotta click the window then back to address bar.. to other problems... in windows 10 seemed better... and i found for large file transfers its hit and miss with windows and not to use jumbo frames it just screws things up..

i currently having other errors so i dealing with that... but give those 2 things a try .. mainly dont leave it open.. and me i actually have like 3 different browswer brands open and leave somethings 1 or 3 of the same unraid dashboard open on different pages same time... so that could be a result to it... that might solve your issue...

so thats what i think i did back then 100% cant remember but give that a try seee what happens.. as google doesnt always help and i find some of these error names no one has answers for or you cant even track them down i found out sometimes

Alright thanks for that info. I will try those things. All my PC's are w10 (trying to stay away from 11 till they get that OS stable). Its one of those issues that seems to have many paths to a cause, and hard to replicate to test if a fix actually works; other then waiting.
I did manage to stuble on a post that explained how to extend the limit by putting the following in a script that runs every time the server boots. I have added that in the "user scripts" pluggin, so we'll see if that quiets things down as well:

"# Fix NGINX limits 
# sed cannot find the file when executed directly, waiting for 10 secs first
sleep 10
sed -i "s;zone=authlimit:1m rate=30r/m;zone=authlimit:1m rate=60r/s;g" /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
sed -i "s;zone=authlimit burst=20;zone=authlimit burst=60;g" /etc/nginx/conf.d/locations.conf
/usr/sbin/nginx -s reload"

@miicar i find it alot of hit and miss i used to use before unraid windows home server which worked great uses 2003 and 2011 but then no more versions and updates were no more.. so i was finding new os so even with these errors and such i get i still like it better then like freenass as its very simple coming from windows home server... sure some issues but still happier then trying to get truenas to work but its always something lol

so far pretty happy with the os over all running 6 unraid servers. now like 6 7 years something like that now.... just wish hds and ssds were cheaper cuz its just going up and i need to get some more hard drives lol

@comet424 For the most part, UNRAID has been a great platform! It was my first venture into a server builds; now i've built 3! Besides this propfind issue and (mostly) user errors, its been versatile and solid, and the community is very helpful!

@miicar ya in the 90s we didnt have much just disketts and then cds then trying to use like XP to be a file server or windows 2000 and then i got a 4 bay acer server that i got like 2006 hosted by windows home server 2003 i quickly out grew it hard drives werent big enough back then and i tried to do 2 of the servers to host but ran out.. and no communty apps just windows apps back then all you cared about central spot for files..

ya i plan to get a 7 unraid server but with hard drives and ssds not coming down in price i wont be doing that in the next little while hopefully this year... as i got some other ideas i wanna do so need another unraid

@comet424 I got my first PC (cyrix586) and learned from there, but servers/networking were mostly new to me before unraid. I am planning on building a ProxMox setup as my next adventure. I am led to believe its better at handling some things then unraid.

@miicar

ya ive play with proxmox on a spare comp havent liked it yet but i dont play with it much yet
