Couchbase 5.0 PHP Couchbase Connection Error:LCB_AUTH_ERROR: Authentication failed

PHP SDK
1

I’m trying to connect to couchbase server 5.0 using couchbase PHP SDK.

try{
// Establish username and password for bucket-access
// $authenticator = new \Couchbase\PasswordAuthenticator();
// $authenticator->username($cb_login)->password($cb_pass);
// pr($authenticator, 1);
// Connect to Couchbase Server
$cluster = new CouchbaseCluster("couchbase://".$cb_host);
// Authenticate, then open bucket
// $cluster->authenticate($authenticator);
$cluster->authenticateAs( $cb_login, $cb_pass );	
$this->couchObj = $cluster->openBucket($cb_bucket);
} 	//catch exception
catch(Exception $e) {
		 	echo "Couchbase Connection Error:".$e->getMessage();
		 	die();
}

I tried both ways using authenticator

$authenticator = new \Couchbase\PasswordAuthenticator();
$authenticator->username($cb_login)->password($cb_pass);

and using direct call

$cluster->authenticateAs( $cb_login, $cb_pass );

but none worked. here’s the log

“Provided credentials not allowed for bucket” says that the server does not allow connection to this particular bucket, although the user has been authenticated. Could you check the server logs and look if it has any details about this?
