Description Chris St. Pierre 2014-02-14 13:42:01 UTC

Description of problem:

If goferd cannot authenticate to the parent, it fails silently unless you run it in the foreground.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

pulp-agent-2.3.1-1.el6.noarch
python-pulp-agent-lib-2.3.1-1.el6.noarch
gofer-0.77.1-1.el6.noarch
python-gofer-0.77.1-1.el6.noarch

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Break authentication on the parent.  I believe it should be sufficient to disable OAuth.
2. Start goferd on the child.
3. Be puzzled about why things aren't working.

Actual results:

goferd silently fails to authenticate and syncs time out with no explanation of why.

Expected results:

goferd should log the detailed and useful error message it produces when run in the foreground.  (For extra points, a more useful message about where to look when a sync times out would be awful nice, too.)

Comment 1 Chris St. Pierre 2014-02-14 19:30:01 UTC

It turns out that my ultimate problem was this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=834697

So it'd be extra super nice if goferd caught this exception and logged something friendly about disabling qpidd authentication:

Exception in thread ip-10-196-7-184.poc.ae1.mclassdc.net:

AuthenticationFailure: Error in sasl_client_start (-1) SASL(-1): generic failure: GSSAPI Error: Unspecified GSS failure.  Minor code may provide more information (Credentials cache file '/tmp/krb5cc_0' not found)

As it stands, the error, which is largely impenetrable, is also hidden.
