Authentication failed: HTTP {status_code}

Error message

Authentication failed: HTTP {status_code}

What it means

The Doris stream load HTTP endpoint returned 401/403, meaning the FE rejected the request's credentials (basic auth user/password or token). The connector raises DorisAuthError with host/port context so you know which node rejected you.

Solutions

1. Verify username/password in the Doris target config and test with curl -u against the FE stream load URL
2. Grant the user LOAD/INSERT privileges on the target database/table (GRANT LOAD_PRIV)
3. Check for recent credential rotation and update the stored config

Example fix

// before
config = DorisConfig(fe_host="fe", fe_http_port=8030, username="reader", password="...")
// after
config = DorisConfig(fe_host="fe", fe_http_port=8030, username="admin", password="<correct>")

try:
    await app.update()
except DorisAuthError as e:
    logger.error("Doris auth failed at %s:%s — check credentials/privileges", e.host, e.port)

When it happens

Trigger: Calling the stream-load path (appending rows/target sync) with wrong fe username/password in the Doris config, a user lacking LOAD/INSERT privilege on the target table, or revoked/expired credentials.

Common situations: Misconfigured password after rotation; using a read-only account for stream load; pointing at a FE that requires different auth; LDAP-enabled cluster with wrong auth scheme.

Understand the failure class

• Authentication and authorization failures — expired tokens, bad credentials, and missing scopes.
