     error parsing options: Option ‘unsecure-no-authentication’ does not exist

4. Create configuration file (sync-server-config.js) Contain:

     "browserBind": "http://127.0.0.1:9980",
     "browserThreads": 4,
     "certificatePath": "",
     "auth": {
     "sharedSecret": "<secret>",

5. And Open Terminal on from that folder Run ./sync-server

6. It return me Error

I am new to Objectbox and I want to try with the Sync Part,

your help would be appreciated. Thanks

Answer 1

The option to use no authentication for development is called --unsecured-no-authentication (note the d in unsecured). (This was actually a typo in our docs.)

Note that you can use --help to show available options (https://sync.objectbox.io/objectbox-sync-server#configuration).
