Description Corey Welton 2013-09-09 15:48:44 UTC

Description of problem:
When user gets an access denied message from CDN, a trace is thrown. We catch this and return a user-friendly error.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
katello-utils-1.4.3-1.git.5.bf18eee.el6.noarch

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Attempt to import a manifest, possibly an old one, that for whatever reason triggers an access denied from CDN. 
2.  View results.


Actual results:
[root@ibm-x3250m4-06 ~]# katello-disconnected import --manifest old_eus_manifest.zip 
/opt/rh/ruby193/root/usr/share/rubygems/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require': iconv will be deprecated in the future, use String#encode instead.

	from /usr/bin/katello-disconnected:315:in `import'
	from /usr/bin/katello-disconnected:405:in `<main>'


Expected results:
Catch the error and indicate that the user (for whatever reason) does not appear to have access to the content on the CDN.

This behavior causes UI bugs in the repo list URL (e.g. /katello/providers/redhat_provider). The 500 error page is returned instead of JSON as expected, causing JavaScript exceptions to be thrown.

While the javascript bug may need it's own bug report, it seems the behavior could be remedied by fixing this behavior so it returns the expected results.

Comment 4 Bryan Kearney 2016-02-08 18:23:18 UTC

The katello-disconnected server synchronization and export functions are being moved into the Satellite server itself. With 6.2, the katello-disconnected command will no longer be delivered and instead will be replaced with a new export and import functions delivered via the UI and hammer CLI. This bug is being closed as "WONTFIX" since it relates only to the existing katello-disconnected tooling. Please check the Satellite docs with the release of Satellite 6.2 on how to use the new content export and import features.
