Not able to access ledger Unauthorized error

[THEViveKL]

Hi,

After doing all the things when i execute this command on docker as follows:

docker run -d -e LEDGER_PORT=1337 -e LEDGER_ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin -e LEDGER_DB_URI=postgres://postgres:password@db --link five-bells-ledger-db:db -p 1337:1337 -h localhost --name fivebells interledger/five-bells-ledger

It executes successfully. but when i tried for this URL it requires authentication.

http://localhost:1337/health

I want to know username and password for accessing above URL?.
i have tried with admin:admin which is given in curl command.
but got same "Unauthorized error" .

curl -i -sS -X PUT --user admin:admin -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d'{ "name" : "alice", "password" : "alice", "balance" : "20000" }' http://localhost:1337/accounts/alice

I'd recommend getting onto the Gitter chat for support: https://gitter.im/interledger/Lobby

At first glance I think your issue is that you need to use that username and password to generate a token for HTTP Basic auth, not pass it in the request object.

It seems the admin user is not being created on first run.

Admin user should be created when ledger starts (see seed-db.js).

There is a typo in the README -- ADMIN_PASSWORD should be ADMIN_PASS. That probably isn't the issue here, though, since the admin user/pass should just get set to the default values.

This was fixed in #432, sorry for not closing this issue when that was merged.
