Hey guys, I have been testing the new GenieACS version in a lab enviroment, but after some days playing with it the CWMP crashed with this particular error: > genieacs-cwmp[776827]: 2021-04-23T18:24:28.712Z [ERROR] Uncaught exception; pid=945292 exceptionName=“Error” exceptionMessage=“Unable to parse auth header” exceptionStack=“Error: Unable to parse auth header\n at /usr/local/lib/node\_modules/genieacs/bin/genieacs-cwmp:2:12629\n → /usr/local/lib/node\_modules/lib/auth.ts:47:15\n at ve (/usr/local/lib/node\_modules/genieacs/bin/genieacs-cwmp:2:12710)\n → /usr/local/lib/node\_modules/lib/auth.ts:73:24\n at Dn (/usr/local/lib/node\_modules/genieacs/bin/genieacs-cwmp:2:105243)\n → /usr/local/lib/node\_modules/lib/cwmp.ts:87:22\n at Mn (/usr/local/lib/node\_modules/genieacs/bin/genieacs-cwmp:2:119880)\n → /usr/local/lib/node\_modules/lib/cwmp.ts:1135:33\n at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task\_queues.js:97:5)” > genieacs-cwmp[776827]: 2021-04-23T18:24:28.959Z [ERROR] Worker died; pid=945292 exitCode=0 > genieacs-cwmp[776827]: 2021-04-23T18:24:28.960Z [ERROR] Too many crashes, exiting; pid=776827 Any doubts about what did that cause? ---

In order for this issue to get resolved you will need to provide more information. What version of GenieACS? A tcpdump/wireshark/plaintext capture of the header in question. ---

Hey there, Im currently using the 1.2.5 version. By capturing packets, I could see that a particular equipment was sending some stuff that cause the genie to stop. I`m still trying to get what was that. By disabling it to send informs to the server, the problem didnt happen again. ---

What does the `Authorization` header in the CPE’s request look like? ---

Do you mean this ? > Authorization: Digest username=“ACS”, realm=“GenieACS”, algorithm=“MD5”, nonce=“”, uri=“/”“”, response=“c0d920cb968068ccf8851124dc23b3aa”\r\n ---

The uri attribute has an extra quote so it’s failing to parse. I suggest reporting this issue to the CPE manufacturer.
