Not able to connect to a seed node

[marcelomorgado]

SUMMARY

I'm trying to run a local environment with a validator node and a seed node but I can't make they talk each other.

ISSUE TYPE

• Bug Report

COMPONENT NAME

p2p/discovery/bootstrap, cometbft:p2p

OASIS NODE VERSION

25.9

OS / ENVIRONMENT

Ubuntu Linux
I'm not compiling the oasis-core.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

I did setup a single validator node and a seed node (same genesis.json)
In order to prepare the seed address string I did get the seed ID is two ways:

1. oasis-node control status -a unix:internal.sock | jq .identity.node -r (return: zTZ19RU1WtAnHtUrqEcG+Hp8QNo8yysm0Cdf4anxx7A=)
2. oasis-node identity cometbft show-node-address --datadir /node/data (return: A7A1636A57BC399F1C5E1B9A642A234BE2F9C151)

I did try both ways on the validator's config file:

ACTUAL RESULTS

When I did try using A7A1636A57BC399F1C5E1B9A642A234BE2F9C151 the validator terminates just after starting it:

EXPECTED RESULTS

It should work

FURTHER NOTES

From this line here {"caller":"pex_reactor.go:623","err":"auth failure: conn.ID (a7a1636a57bc399f1c5e1b9a642a234be2f9c151) dialed ID (05d8296da181bd32d992e0aa10f90fceeaa2a14c). I suppose the validator's config.yml` expects the seed ID in the Tendermint format only, but when handshaking with the seed node, it expects the CometBFT format.
