Re: [Spacewalk-list] osad/jabber - Invalid password errors
Hi Daryl, please, just to be sure. Tell, in which logfile you find the error and past the error you get. You say, that you have the problem with osa-dispatcher? This is on the server. So what do you get, when you restart the spacewalk services "spacewalk-service restart"? Does the osa-dispatcher start correctly? Regards, Robert Gesendet: Mittwoch, 03.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] osad/jabber - Invalid password errors
For me, it always says "invalid password" if I start it outside spacewalk-services script, but running spacewalk-services start/restart gets job done without issues.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] osad/jabber - Invalid password errors
Robert is correct. I've had similar issues with osad, and so created a simple Ansible playbook to delete osad-auth.conf against all of my nodes. If you're running Ansible, here it is: --- - hosts: all gather_facts: false become: yes tasks: - name: stop osad command: /sbin/service osad stop - name: remove osad auth file command: /bin/rm -f /etc/sysconfig/rhn/osad-auth.conf - name: start osad command: /sbin/service osad start Dimitri -Original Message- From: spacewalk-list-boun...@redhat.com [mailto:spacewalk-list-boun...@redhat.com] On Behalf Of Robert Paschedag Sent: Wednesday, August 03, 2016 11:14 AM To: Daryl Rose <darylr...@outlook.com> Cc: spacewalk-list@redhat.com Subject: Re: [Spacewalk-list] osad/jabber - Invalid password errors You should have configuration files for osad in /etc/sysconfig/rhn.

You should have configuration files for osad in /etc/sysconfig/rhn. An osad.conf and osad-auth.conf. I think, if you remove the osad-auth.conf file and restart osad, it should re-register. I think!

Osad is logging into jabber. The client into the server. Just as rhnsd. Am 03.08.2016 15:38 schrieb Daryl Rose <darylr...@outlook.com>: > > HmmmWonder how that happened?

Re: [Spacewalk-list] osad/jabber - Invalid password errors
I have some additional information that I think that I should share. Because of specific issues experienced with SW, I used to completely remove jabberd database and log files. I used to stop SW, cd to /var/lib/jabberd/db and remove the entire contents then restart SW. But, I started experience problems with OSAD not picking up packages, and after so research, I learned that the way that I used to do things was not a good idea. I think that it was a posting here that told me by removing at database files and the authreg.db it was causing the clients from losing connection with the SW server. In the SW documentation, I learned that its better to delete only the logs that are not required. These are the steps that I now use: /usr/bin/db_checkpoint -1 -h /var/lib/jabberd/db/ ## mark logs for deletion /usr/bin/db_archive -d -h /var/lib/jabberd/db/ ## delete logs /usr/sbin/spacewalk-service restart ## stop/start spacewalk I have this setup in a crontab that runs on a daily schedule. I set this up about two months ago. I'm not sure when the invalid password issue started. But it was some point after implementing these steps that the invalid password issue started.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] osad/jabber - Invalid password errors
Robert, This error is on the SW server itself. (Sorry that I did not say that in my original post.) I'm using SW 2.3. I don't see a osad.auth file in /etc/sysconfig/rhn. I'm assuming that is because this is the server that I am dealing with. Also, OSAD is being ran as root. Thank you.
