Description Stephen Gordon 2014-01-10 15:45:51 UTC 
Description of problem:

When adding a provider and it fails "PROVIDER FAILURE and code 5050" is returned in the logs:

2014-01-10 10:24:23,154 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.provider.TestProviderConnectivityCommand] (ajp-/127.0.0.1:8702-15) [55b6f83d] Command org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.provider.TestProviderConnectivityCommand throw Vdc Bll exception. With error message VdcBLLException: (Failed with error PROVIDER_FAILURE and code 5050)
2014-01-10 10:24:23,156 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.provider.TestProviderConnectivityCommand] (ajp-/127.0.0.1:8702-15) [55b6f83d] Transaction rolled-back for command: org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.provider.TestProviderConnectivityCommand

It seems like this can be for a number of reasons (firewall issues, keystone url not set or doesn't contain API value, keystone user/tenant/pass incorrect). 

I think we need to make the effort to break these down and return a more accurate error instead of this catch all. Setting this functionality up is kind of tricky as is (in part because of documentation issues I have already filed) without non-specific error reporting.

There is no feasible way to fix a "all providers" bug as each provider type provides different resources and so has entirely different error codes (Foreman is not even an OpenStack provider), so a bug for each provider type has to exist.
