Problem
While running the 'hc-migrate' export script using the HCDC command line, you receive the following error:
ERR Client sent AUTH, but no password is set
Diagnosis
Environment
HipChat Data Center
Cause
The Redis server does not require a password so the script doesn't know what to do with the --redis_password argument of the command.
Resolution
Remove the --redis_password argument from the command and retry. It should look something similar to the following:
/home/admin/hc-migrate --hcdc --export "HCDC_EXPORT_NAME.tar.gz.aes" --aes_password "HCDC_EXPORT_NAME_PASSWORD" --postgres_url "dbname=db_name host=db_host user=db_user password=db_pass port=5432 sslmode=disable" --redis_url "redis_url:6379" --verbose |& tee /home/admin/migrate.log
