monero-wallet-rpc not connecting to monerod

[skinderis]

Hi, I am trying to connect monero-wallet-rpc to monerod, both binaries are running on the same docker container. When I run method getheight on my wallet it returns height: 1 (not synced with daemon).
monero.conf:

data-dir=/root/monero/data
rpc-bind-ip=0.0.0.0
rpc-bind-port=18556
p2p-bind-port=18555
p2p-bind-ip=0.0.0.0
rpc-login=user:password

monero-wallet.conf:

daemon-address=127.0.0.1:18556
rpc-bind-ip=0.0.0.0
rpc-bind-port=18557
rpc-login=user:password
wallet-dir=/root/monero/data/monero-wallets

start.sh

#!/bin/bash 
./monerod --restricted-rpc --confirm-external-bind --non-interactive --config-file /root/monero/data/monero.conf --detach && \
./monero-wallet-rpc --config-file /root/monero/data/monero-wallet.conf --confirm-external-bind

Anyone knows how I can connect monero-wallet-rpc to daemon which is running in the same docker container?

[stoffu]

As the log says, the wallet RPC is failing the authentication required by the daemon:

monero_1  | 2018-04-12 15:44:35.928	[RPC0]	ERROR	net.http	contrib/epee/include/net/http_client.h:424	Client has incorrect username/password for server requiring authentication

which needs to be set via the daemon-login setting. The rpc-login setting of the wallet RPC is another authentication that the wallet RPC requires from the users accessing the wallet RPC.

@stoffu, Yep that was exactly my issue! I just removed rpc login and pass from daemon conf file and wallet syncs with the daemon 👍
