Description Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2007-06-29 10:27:25 UTC

Description of problem:

I was investigating the request from

http://post-office.corp.redhat.com/archives/rhn-satellite/2007-June/msg00079.html

By grepping the SVN for 'rh_auth_token', I found it used in

java/code/src/com/redhat/rhn/frontend/struts/RhnHelper.java:    public static
final String AUTH_COOKIE_NAME = "rh_auth_token";
java/code/src/com/redhat/rhn/frontend/struts/RequestContext.java:    public
static final String AUTH_COOKIE_NAME = "rh_auth_token";

But AUTH_COOKIE_NAME is not to be found anywhere else. Should we be able to
remove it from the source code? The problem reported in that mailing-list post
is no longer present on Satellite 5.0.0, so I assume we've removed the use of
these but not the declaration.

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

SVN trunk as of today (revision 117910).

How reproducible:

Looked at the source code.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Grepped the source AUTH_COOKIE_NAME.
  
Actual results:

In the Java code, it is only found in frontend/struts/RhnHelper.java and
frontend/struts/RequestContext.java as declarations. It does not seem to be used
anywhere.

Expected results:

Reassigning to myself.

This got all three acks so I assume we want this change to happen.

Committed to SVN, trunk, revision 132727.

verified.
TP
Fetch the rhn-java-sat.src.rpm, install it, go to the SPECS directory, run rpm
-bp ....spec, go to SOURCES directory, grep -r the source and see if that string
is gone.
adelton Preethi_afk: ^^^ would approximately be the way I'd do it.
