Bug Description

looks like the option to connect to VE host via username and password has been removed in the latest release at least and only API key is an option but I can;t get it to connect I only get a error message that I guess is in French.

Can you let me know if the password option is meant to be removed and the doc'o is just not updated yet and do I need to do something different for the API key to work.

Steps to Reproduce

Update the the latest version
Create an API key as per the documentation (I did via the CLI)
Add a host
enter a name and the web URL for the VE host
enter the API username@pve!proxcenter=
click save get the error message

Expected Behavior

host is added

Actual Behavior

get an error message that is in French

ProxCenter Version

Latest

Proxmox VE Version

9.5.1

Browser

Hi, thanks for reporting this.

The "Non authentifié" error you're seeing is not related to the Proxmox API token itself — it's a session authentication issue on the ProxCenter side. We found a bug in the middleware where the JWT secret used for API calls didn't match the one used for page authentication. This means you can log in and see the UI, but when you try to save a connection, the API rejects the request with a 401.

This has been fixed in commit 58fa4ca. Please pull the latest version and try again.

Let us know if you still have issues after updating.
