Description SATHEESARAN 2014-01-24 11:55:46 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1057574 +++

Description of problem:

From Guide Me link, Add Host using SSH PublicKey Authentication fails with "Error while executing action: Cannot install Host with empty password."

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
Red Hat Storage Console Version: 2.1.2-0.33.el6rhs (CB 15)
ovirt-host-deploy-java-1.1.2-1.el6ev.noarch
ovirt-host-deploy-1.1.2-1.el6ev.noarch


How reproducible: 100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on "Clusters" and create a New Cluster
2. Select the created Cluster and click on "Guide Me"
3. Click on "Configure Host"
4. Enter the mandatory fields and select the Authentication type as "	
SSH PublicKey"
5. Copy the key displayed in the SSH PublicKey field to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys on the host to use public key authentication
6. Click on OK

Actual results: Add Host fails with error "Error while executing action: Cannot install Host with empty password." as it's not detecting that the user has selected the SSH PublicKey Authentication instead of Password Authentication


Expected results: Add Host with SSH PublicKey Authentication should work from the "Guide Me" flow as well.

PS: It works fine in the normal Add New Host flow.


Additional info: Screenshot and log-collector report attached

Comment 4 Leonid Natapov 2014-03-11 14:08:09 UTC

3.4.0-0.3.master.el6ev. host can be added using SSH from guide me

Comment 5 Itamar Heim 2014-06-12 14:06:56 UTC

Closing as part of 3.4.0

Comment 6 Yedidyah Bar David 2014-11-18 10:58:06 UTC

Now happened to me on 3.5.

Added a DC, followed the link to add a Cluster, then followed the link to add a host, failed with a message saying:

Error while executing action: Cannot install Host with empty password.

A single line was added to engine.log:

2014-11-18 12:52:18,102 WARN  [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.AddVdsCommand] (ajp--127.0.0.1-8702-8) [457abfb6] CanDoAction of action AddVds failed. Reasons:VAR__ACTION__ADD,VAR__TYPE__HOST,$server t123,VDS_CANNOT_INSTALL_EMPTY_PASSWORD

'Cancel' and then adding the host with the 'New' link in 'Hosts' worked.

OS is rhel 7.1 beta, engine is from upstream 3.5-snapshot ovirt-engine-3.5.1-0.0.master.20141112061952.git2c24911.el7.centos.noarch

Comment 9 Radek Duda 2020-05-04 15:59:49 UTC

This still does not work with rhv-4.4.0-0.33.master.el8ev
ovirt-engine-4.4.0-0.33.master.el8ev.noarch

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select some data center
2. Choose 'Guide Me' to add host
3. Choose 'Configure host', fill in 'Name' and 'Hostname/IP'
4. In 'New Host' dialog window choose 'SSH Public Key' radio button as a kind of authentication and copy SSH key to deployed host.

Actual results:
'Operation cancelled' message-box emerges with text:
'Error while executing action: Cannot install Host with empty password.'

Expected results:
Host is successfully deployed using SSH Public key authentication.

Reproducible only when using guide to deploy host.


From engine.log:

2020-05-04 17:56:52,247+02 WARN  [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.hostdeploy.AddVdsCommand] (default task-32) [3b1b86ca-26ec-46e7-a986-1618ca33f214] Validation of action 'AddVds' failed for user admin@internal-authz. Reasons: VAR__ACTION__ADD,VAR__TYPE__HOST,$server 10.35.32.6,VDS_CANNOT_INSTALL_EMPTY_PASSWORD

Comment 11 Michal Skrivanek 2020-06-05 12:10:09 UTC

Martin, can you review?
I don't believe it's a blocker, but still, may be trivial

Comment 12 Radek Duda 2020-06-05 12:27:31 UTC

I reproduced now again with rhv-4.4.1.2-0.10.el8ev

Comment 14 Nikolai Sednev 2020-07-13 14:05:45 UTC

The original issue seems to be fixed, but host still fails to be added "InstallFailed":

Cluster - Guide Me
Configuration completed
Host alma03.qa.lab.tlv.redhat.com was added by admin@internal-authz.

Ansible host-deploy playbook execution has started on host alma03.qa.lab.tlv.redhat.com.

Host alma03.qa.lab.tlv.redhat.com installation failed. Failed to execute Ansible host-deploy role: Internal server error. Please check logs for more details: /var/log/ovirt-engine/ansible-runner-service.log.

InstallFailed

Tested on Software Version:4.4.1.8-0.7.el8ev.

Comment 15 Dana 2020-07-13 16:30:31 UTC

I found what the issue is,
Nikolai, can you open a different bug for this as this error isn't related to the original bug which was fixed & tested?
Thanks,

Comment 16 Ivana Saranova 2020-07-13 17:04:47 UTC

Confirming functionality tested by Nikolai and the successful installation of the host, no InstallFailed for me.

Verified in:
ovirt-engine-4.4.1.8-0.7.el8ev.noarch
