Self-Hosted Moralis Server Auth Issue

Moralis General
#1

Hello there,
I created a Moralis V1 Self Hosted Server using this tut (https://docs.moralis.io/docs/v1-server-self-hosting). The server seems to be working fine. Nevertheless, when I try to connect my client (frontend react application) to the server, I get an authentication error. The server requires the client to first be ā€œauthenticatedā€ using a signature from the wallet.

My question: What exactly is the reason for the mandatory authentication using the wallet signature? Moralis servers from the admin dashboard donā€™t require authentication either? Can it be turned off? I want to connect my frontend to the server as if I was connecting to a Moralis server from the dashboard (only providing an app id and server url), is that possible?

I donā€™t know why you get an authentication error, what it says in that authentication error?

#3

It just returns a json object saying error unathorized. But I am fairly convinced that is due to the client not being authorized using the Auth-API. I was wondering if there is a way to circumvent that?

#4

maybe you can do more debugging

#5

To test can you please try cloning the two repos for the server and client, copy over your existing .env files and install.

If that doesnā€™t work, it may be an issue with your variables or setup of MongoDB/Redis.

if I was connecting to a Moralis server from the dashboard (only providing an app id and server url)

Yes thatā€™s done through the MoralisProvider. The React client demo just uses authentication for demonstration, you can customize it if you donā€™t want to use Auth API.
