That's what I have in my config file:
rpcuser:[the name of my node]
rpcpassword:[a new password I specifically set up for this]
How can be incorrect when there's nothing else to compare it to?
You need to pass those arguments in the command line to authorize
Edit
Or does it automatically authenticate like mocca suggested? SE might be outdated. In that case, disregard my posts and see moccas suggestions.
Read a bit more online and i don’t think calling -rpcuser & pass (rpcauth) is depreciated? Might be bad practice though, (&nd useless, i’m not awake yet.)
