Invoking action gives 403: Trigger authentication request failed

[jhawarchirag0]

I have openwhisk deployed on a kubernetes cluster. I created a trigger called once-per-minute using this swagger ui,
The curl request: -

curl -X PUT "https://localhost:4430/api/v1/namespaces/_/triggers/once-per-min?overwrite=false" -H "accept: application/json" -H "authorization: Basic Nzg5YzQ2YjEtNzFmNi00ZWQ1LThjNTQtODE2YWE0ZjhjNTAyOmFiY3pPM3haQ0xyTU42djJCS0sxZFhZRnBYbFBrY2NPRnFtMTJDZEFzTWdSVTRWck5aOWx5R1ZDR3VNREdJd1A=" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"name\":\"once-per-min\",\"annotations\":[{\"key\":\"feed\",\"value\":\"/whisk.system/alarms/alarm\"}]}"

Got Response 200

{
  "annotations": [
    {
      "key": "feed",
      "value": "/whisk.system/alarms/alarm"
    }
  ],

  "namespace": "whisk.system",
  "parameters": [],
  "publish": false,
  "updated": 1703607489753,
  "version": "0.0.1"
}

Now, I tried to create a cron job for the alarm action in whisk.system

curl -X POST "https://localhost:4430/api/v1/namespaces/whisk.system%2Falarms/actions/alarm?blocking=true&result=false" -H "accept: application/json" -H "authorization: Basic Nzg5YzQ2YjEtNzFmNi00ZWQ1LThjNTQtODE2YWE0ZjhjNTAyOmFiY3pPM3haQ0xyTU42djJCS0sxZFhZRnBYbFBrY2NPRnFtMTJDZEFzTWdSVTRWck5aOWx5R1ZDR3VNREdJd1A=" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"authKey\":\"23bc46b1-71f6-4ed5-8c54-816aa4f8c502:123zO3xZCLrMN6v2BKK1dXYFpXlPkccOFqm12CdAsMgRU4VrNZ9lyGVCGuMDGIwP\",\"cron\":\"*/1 * * * *\",\"lifecycleEvent\":\"CREATE\",\"triggerName\":\"/_/once-per-min\"}"

Got a 502 bad gateway

I think the alarm web action failed to access CouchDB.
Try checking if the CouchDB credentials are correct.
