Re: [Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk LDAP (Using Quest PAM Authentication)
On Mon, Jan 05, 2015 at 12:09:37PM -0800, Glen Collins wrote: Hi Jan, No, I did not use the IPA documentation. The reason, everything is handled for me using the Question authentication PAM module. All the encryption, kerberos and all that good stuff is done for me. I just followed the documentation on the Satellite product and did the changes to: /etc/rhn/rhnf.conf and added pam_auth_service = rhn-satellite Moved or created what I think is the correct pam configuration and created the file /etc/pam.d/rhn-satellite with those entries. I then restarted everything, created my AD account in SW, checked the PAM checkbox. Created the necessary DG with the appropriate permissions in spacewalk making sure it matched the AD group name as it's displayed. Logged in to SW with my AD account, got in but only very limited persions. The group I gave the permissions too has complete access to SW, Org Admin and SW Admin. So I should see ever menu and option. I don't, just a standard user. So I'm wondering if there is logging in tomcat what I can turn on to see what's being returned. I used quests tools and it does bring back the correct AD group with my ID in it. I'm just wondering how tomcat is doing everything in the backend. But there is no logging other than unable to authenticate if I get my password wrong. I also kind of pieced this together using: http://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2013-July/msg00037.html It's using winbind so I started at step 4. No luck there either. I think the issue is I have the PAM setup incorrect in /etc/pam.d/rhn-satellite, but without any kind of logging it's hard to diagnose. I did try and turn on the actual PAM logging/debugging, but it game not real low level logging. I also looked at someone using centrify: http://liniks.com/?p=253 And that gave me no luck either. Pretty much the same thing. So if anyone has any good ideas it would be appreciated. The external group role mapping (and auto-provisioning of users alike) only works when you use the external authentication. When PAM is used, that part will not work because the PAM stack does not have means to retrieve the additional attributes and group information. -- Jan Pazdziora Principal Software Engineer, Identity Management Engineering, Red Hat ___ Spacewalk-list mailing list Spacewalk-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list

Nope. Spacewalk schema upgrades are specifically written in such a way that if spacewalk-schema-upgrade passes, upgrades across all versions were done. So if you have Spacewalk 1.5 and run spacewalk-schema-upgrade while having 2.0 installed, it will list that it will go 1.5 - 1.6 - 1.7 - 1.8 - 1.9 - 2.0 and it will do all those steps. Typically, even the instructions at the latest current https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToUpgrade can be used to skip multiple versions (thou it is only tested going from the previous version), even if for non-schema things, there might be some additional steps that you need to do, so it's better to at least check all the previous HowToUpgrade* documents leading to the current version to see if something more needs to be done. But schema, that will always do all the needed steps for you, in one run. What will *not* work thou is if you try to upgrade from Spacewalk nightly. Spacewalk nightly is non-released snapshot, not having all the changes that the release will have, and when you upgrade from 1.8 nightly (like the OP did), spacewalk-schema-upgrade will assume it is upgrading from released 1.8 and it will skip all the needed steps going from the unreleased snapshot to 1.8 proper. That's why that column org_id is missing in this case. Without manually inspecting all changes that went to the Spacewalk between that nightly snapshot and 1.8 and re-running (manually) all the needed schema upgrade steps, this installation is not upgradable. -- Jan Pazdziora Principal Software Engineer, Identity Management Engineering, Red Hat ___ Spacewalk-list mailing list Spacewalk-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list

I'm trying to connect to the API for our Satellite server. According to
everything I've read it should be at https://satellite.example.com/rpc/api.
I've tried this using both Ruby and Perl and have received one of two
errors repeatedly. The first is 404 Not Found and the other is Connection
refused.
I'm not entirely sure how I'm supposed to connect with the xmlrpc/client
gem in Ruby. This is my code:
#!/usr/bin/ruby
require xmlrpc/client
host = https://10.153.156.10;
hostpath = https://10.153.156.10/rpc/api;
path = rpc/api
username = ecapsupport
pass = r310ADed
params = {
host = https://REDACTED;,
path = rpc/api,
port = 443,
proxy_host = ,
proxy_port = ,
user = REDACTED,
password = REDACTED,
use_ssl = true,
timeout = 300,
}
client = XMLRPC::Client.new3(params)
client.instance_variable_get(:@http).instance_variable_set(:@verify_mode,
OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE)
session = client.call('auth.login', username, pass)
Reading
http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.0/libdoc/xmlrpc/rdoc/XMLRPC/Client.html#method-c-new3
makes me believe that the host is the FQDN of the host, not the
protocol://FQDN. Thus,
ruby -e 'require xmlrpc/client; client = XMLRPC::Client.new3({ host
= machine.example.com, path = /rpc/api }); sys_ver =
client.call(api.systemVersion); puts sys_ver;'
5.5.0
works just fine for me. Reading the same page reveals that
XMLRPC::Client.new_from_uri(http://machine.example.com/rpc/api;);
works as well, should you prefer to work with URIs. And with the
VERIFY_NONE mode, it even works with https.

From the subset of

There are the following inserts that fail:

'e3a5c360307e3d54'));
(right below are another 2 inserts very similar)
Now the problem I am facing is the fact that running that query gets me an
ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint rhn_pkey_keyid_uq

136 | e3a5c360307e3d54 | 100 | 104
(2 rows)
which of course - when trying to be inserted - causes the duplicate key
issues.
But why do I get two rows?
The last sub-select is
select 1 from rhnPackageKey where key_id = 'e3a5c360307e3d54'
which returns 0 rows.
Could anyone shed a bit of light on this for me?
Right now I'm quite baffled about the how, why and so on - but maybe I'm
missing something.
Does does

I'd read that message but found install all dependencies manually left me with questions. And rightly so. ;-) You'd be on your own. If we add new dependency in the future, you'll need to catch that during upgrade. Primarily, What is the best root package of a dependency tree to get a non-db-specific install? spacewalk-base? That would be spacewalk-common. Are there aspects (scripts, commands) of system setup using Postgres that I'd then be missing? The package spacewalk-postgresql contains only one file, defining the db-backend value for spacewalk-setup. If you pass that value in manually, you should be good to go. Other than this one file the package is just a list of package dependencies. Another thing that you possibly could do is to create your own rpm postgresql84-contrib with some high epoch which would just require that postgresql-contrib-8.4 from the PostgreSQL repository -- that way the dependency chain would be closed and you (possibly) could continue to use spacewalk-postgresql. -- Jan Pazdziora Principal Software Engineer, Satellite Engineering, Red Hat ___ Spacewalk-list mailing list Spacewalk-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list

We don't have a policy per se. We are more likely to respin packages for regressions that affect multiple users, in packages where it's not that easy to patch the code on the disk (compiled stuff like Java). Of course, respinning packages requires someone to do the work and we need to balance that effort against other tasks, like new features or fixing more bugs or documentation improvements. -- Jan Pazdziora Principal Software Engineer, Satellite Engineering, Red Hat ___ Spacewalk-list mailing list Spacewalk-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list
Re: [Spacewalk-list] automatically adding GPG keys to a host
On Mon, Dec 10, 2012 at 09:30:12PM +, Snyder, Chris wrote: I want to be able to take a host that is alredy registered to Spacewalk and add a new software channel to it and then have the related GPG key automatically installed on the host. I'd really like this to NOT involve any human interaction at all, but it always seems to involve a human having to add the GPG key to the host manually somehow. Here's what I'm currently trying: I've got an (unsigned) RPM which drops various GPG keys into /etc/pki/rpm-gpg on my hosts. (This seemed the simplest way to be able to add/update keys in the future on my hosts, but I'm not glued to this idea.) Next, I configured my Spacewalk software channels to use the GPG keys from that RPM, setting location as 'file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/blah'. Once I enable this software channel for a host, I would expect that when I push packages to my host from Spacewalk, the needed channel GPG key would automatically be added to the RPM keyring on the host. That doesn't seem to be happening. After scheduling some package to be installed on the host, I run 'rhn_check -vv' (on the host) and I see the following error: D: keyurl = file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPMfile:///\\etc\pki\rpm-gpg\%3cRPM KEY FILE, isn't a known Red Hat key, so this will not be imported. Manually import this key or set gpgcheck=0 in the RHN yum plugin configuration file (This tells me that it is finding the correct GPG file as configured in the software channel, but it just doesn't like my key because I'm not Red Hat.) I don't want to re configure my hosts to disable gpgcheck, and I can't find any way through Spacewalk to do the equivalent of 'yum -y' (to auto-accept the key when prompted), so unless I'm really doing something wrong here, it doesn't look like I can simply add a host to a software channel and start pushing packages until a human goes to the host and either runs 'rpm -import gpg file' or some variation on 'yum -y install some package from target channel'. You can run remote command to do yum -y or rpm --import. For the remote command, the remote command execution obviously has to be enabled on the clients. Other than that, you are actually hitting an important security feature of the setup -- unless configured on the client, the client will prevent you from installing unverified packages or run random code. The generic advice would be to generate your GPG key and import it either during kickstart or while doing rhn_register, to lay the groundwork for pushing stuff out using your packages, signed with your key. -- Jan Pazdziora Principal Software Engineer, Satellite Engineering, Red Hat ___ Spacewalk-list mailing list Spacewalk-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list
