Can you provide some background? I've just reworked the cephx authentication sections. They are still in a wip branch, and as you ask the question, it occurs to me that we do not have a troubleshooting section for authentication issues. It could be any number of things: 1. you don't have the client.admin key on the client where you are executing ceph --status 2. you have a key mismatch 3. the key permissions aren't set for your user (e.g., try sudo). The updated sections are: http://ceph.com/docs/wip-doc-authentication/rados/configuration/auth-config-ref/ http://ceph.com/docs/wip-doc-authentication/rados/operations/user-management/ I've put the "how it works" theory into the architecture doc: http://ceph.com/docs/wip-doc-authentication/architecture/#high-availability-authentication It does strike me that we could use a bit of troubleshooting for authentication issues.
