How to reproduce:

Connecting to Director localhost:9101
Director authorization problem.
Most likely the passwords do not agree.
If you are using TLS, there may have been a certificate validation error during the TLS handshake.

Bacula does not work at all, even if it starts without any error message! bacula-director is up and running:
bacula-fd 1987     root    3u  IPv4   7304      0t0  TCP *:9102 (LISTEN)
bacula-di 2847   bacula    4u  IPv4  15926      0t0  TCP 127.0.0.1:9101 (LISTEN)
bacula-di 2847   bacula    5u  IPv4  15935      0t0  TCP 127.0.0.1:9101->127.0.0.1:46749 (ESTABLISHED)
bacula-co 2852     root    3u  IPv4  15934      0t0  TCP 127.0.0.1:46749->127.0.0.1:9101 (ESTABLISHED)

Having bacula-console started I am told a connection is established. But there is not output at all! Testing against a system not having bacula-director running, I am immediately told:
root at localhost:~# bconsole
Connecting to Director localhost:9101
16-Jan 14:29 bconsole JobId 0: Fatal error: bsock.c:135 Unable to connect to Director daemon on localhost:9101. ERR=Connection refused
