Ok, all good. A colleague found the correct spot that explained that we now had
to establish this API access with a specific http control socket within the
dhcp config.
"control-sockets": [
{
"socket-type": "unix",
"socket-name": "/var/run/kea/kea4-ctrl-socket"
},
{
"socket-type": "http",
"socket-address": "x.x.x.x",
"socket-port": 8017,
"authentication": {
"type": "basic",
"realm": "kea-control-agent",
"clients": [
{
"user": "the-user",
"password": "the-password"
}
]
}
}
],

I failed to realize that the v3 software release enables API authentication.
This broke a tool's ability to communicate with the servers.
I've tried to scour docs, to figure out how to add auth, but nothing is
working. I found the user and password, but my javascript fetch is still
yielding a 403 forbidden.
const getIpInfo = await fetch(`http://${server}:8000`, {
method: 'POST',
body,
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': `Basic the-user:the-password`
}
})
