Hi, I am the main FBBE developer

I can confirm FBBE works without RPC authentication, only via unauthenticated REST as a design choice.

I am not sure why you were seeing those log messages about authentication attempts but they should not be related to FBBE (or there is a bug I am not yet aware)

> though I suspect it also applies to the REST API as well as I have not seen a different set of credentials for it.

The point of the REST interface is exactly that you don't need authentication, as clearly stated in the title of the official doc https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/e253568da8dc3693ad99aee260276233245e3d77/doc/REST-interface.md
The REST interface provides only data about the blockchain and the mempool, it cannot interact with the wallet, this is why could be used without authentication

Glad to highlight your work with my topic Grin

It was not my intention to link FBBE with those errors... but I got them just after adding the settings requested by FBBE (txindex and rest), before running FBBE for the first time.

Anyway - coming back to the topic - it is weird that now I have no longer those errors in Bitcoin Core log... and can't figure out why I got them Undecided
