Description Gennadii Altukhov 2016-11-01 15:57:35 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #516296 +++

Description of problem:



hrm.. --non-interactive works for everything except the prompt for the satellite user/pass for config management piece.   This is not critical, and should be moved to another release.

however the intent of the bug was to be sure you could run an unattended install of cmd_line proxy.  I do not think thats currently possible with what I see in --help and the provided answer file.

we need something like

config admin/sat admin login 
config admin/sat admin passwd

this is due rhncfg-manager which unfortunately do not have cli option to pass user and password.

We still have this bug. If username/password is incorrect configuration script will ask for username/password even if --non-interactive parameter was provided.

Comment 1 Gennadii Altukhov 2016-11-01 16:45:09 UTC

ask user for credentials only if configuration script works in interactive mode
spacewalk.git:

Comment 3 Pavel Studeník 2017-05-25 12:58:02 UTC

I try to use this command:

>> configure-proxy.sh --answer-file=proxy-answers.txt  --non-interactive

with following answer file:

HTTP_PROXY=''
VERSION=5.8
TRACEBACK_EMAIL=pstudeni
USE_SSL=Y
SSL_ORG=Brno
SSL_ORGUNIT=hp-bl460cg5-01.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com
SSL_COMMON=hp-bl460cg5-01.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com
SSL_CITY=BRno
SSL_STATE=CZ
SSL_COUNTRY=CZ
SSL_EMAIL=pstudeni
SSL_CNAME_ASK=''

and I receive this warning alert:

Error: When --populate-config-channel is set to Yes both --rhn-user and --rhn-password have to be provided.

I suppose that it is not correct behavior. I should can use non-interactive without populating config-channel.

Comment 4 Tomas Lestach 2017-05-25 15:43:12 UTC

Pavel, I think populate-config-channel option is set by default. This does not sound like a bug.

Comment 5 Pavel Studeník 2017-05-25 15:52:42 UTC

But option of configure-proxy.sh:

  --populate-config-channel
            Create config chanel and save configuration files to that channel.
            Configuration channel name is rhn_proxy_config_${SYSTEM_ID}.

Why doesn this option "populate-config-channel" exist when it is set by default. I suppose that I should have option to set --no-populate-config-channel. In this case this options is useless.

Comment 6 Pavel Studeník 2017-05-25 16:03:11 UTC

I checked old versions and different behavior is from proxy installer 2.3

Version of installer spacewalk-proxy-installer-2.0.1-2.el6sat.noarch works correct from my point of view.

It think that we have to ways:

1) change option --populate-config-channel to --no-populate-config-channel (because as default is useless)

2) change default value as disable populate to configchannel

Comment 7 Gennadii Altukhov 2017-05-29 16:14:50 UTC

I think the second option make more sense.
Changed default value of population config channel for a non-interactive mode to 'No' (for interactive mode still 'Yes'). spacewalk.git:
