Wondering if anyone has had a similar problem. I can authenticate on a local desktop but can’t authenticate on a remote server. After a while I receive the following error:


2017-07-14 22:01:07,162 WARNING Retrying (Retry(total=2, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None, status=None)) after connection broken by 'NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x7fee4c200a20>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 110] Connection timed out',)': /api/3.0//login?client_id=HERE&client_secret=HERE


After it hangs it errors out to the following:


token = unauthenticated_authApi.login(client_id=client_id, client_secret=client_secret)

@cross it looks to me like an issue at the network layer, which is consistent with the code working on your local machine but not on a remote machine.


Here are a couple of things to check for the remote machine:



  1. Does the remote machine have any firewall rules for inbound or outbound traffic? For example, on an Amazon EC2 instance, you will have to explicitly open outbound traffic on port 9999 in the security group rules to open a connection to the Looker instance’s API.

    2… If you host your own Looker instance, make sure that the IP of your remote machine is whitelisted by the Looker instance’s firewall rules so that it will accept inbound connections on port 9999 coming from that IP.

  2. Is the remote machine on a different VPC than the Looker instance? You’ll need to check the rules for inbound and outbound traffic for the VPC that your remote machine is on. And if you host your own Looker instance, you will need to do the same for the machine that runs Looker.


That’s all I can think of, I’m sure there are other possible issues. A couple of other things to look for are the presence of load balancers and reverse proxies and the like between the remote machine and Looker.


Let me know if you have any other questions or need additional help, you’re most likely one firewall rule away from successfully connecting.
