Error in eosjs account creation on localnet

Question

I am trying to create an account using eosjs in node.js. I am using :

eos = Eos({keyProvider});
eos.transaction(tr => {
        tr.newaccount({
            creator: 'eosio',
            name: 'account1',
            owner: pubkey,
            active: pubkey
        })

With this eos instance, I am successfully calling the getblock api. WHile hitting this api, i get the error:

{"code":500,"message":"Internal Service Error","error":{"code":3090003,"name":"unsatisfied_authorization","what":"Provided keys, permissions, and delays do not satisfy declared authorizations","details":[]}}

Error is same on nodeos console too. I tried some solutions available out there bu they didn't work for me. I am accessing local node running on same system. Please let me know the resolution of this error.

Answer 1

You need to sign the transaction you can do it by

 eosConfig = {keyProvider: ['YOUR_CREATOR_PRIVATE_KEY']}
 let eos = Eos(eosConfig)
 eos.transaction(tr => {
        tr.newaccount({
            creator: 'eosio',
            name: 'account1',
            owner: pubkey,
            active: pubkey
        }) \.then( (resp) =>{
      console.log("EOS resp ", resp);}); 

As you are on localnet then you need only one parameter to pass in eosConfig which is keyProvider.

Answer 2

You need to add an authority to eosconfig, e.g.:

eos = Eos({
    keyProvider,
    authorization: EOSIO_ACCOUNT_NAME + '@active',
  });

Answer 3

I had the same error shown when performing an action on a test network, and I solved it updating my permissions launching this single cmd:

cleos.sh set account permission <your-account> active '{"threshold":1,"keys":
[{"key":"<your-public-key>","weight":1}],"accounts":
[{"permission":{"actor":"<your-account>","permission":"eosio.code"},"weight":1}]}' 
owner -p <your-account>@owner

Hope this can help you, but actually needs an account to be done.

Answer 4

Try this code

    eos = Eos({ keyProvider : "PR_KEY"});

eos.transaction({
              actions: [
                  {
                      name: "newaccount",
                      account:"cat",
                      authorization:[{
                          actor:'cat',
                          permission: 'active'
                      }],
                      data: {
                          creator:"cat",
                          name:"newaccount",
                          owner: "PUB_KEY",
                          active: "PUB_KEY"
                      }
                  },
              ]
            }).then(res => {
                console.log(res);
            });
