The session key returned by login() and the token validated by checkAuthToken() are different values. I plan to update the API docs to make that clearer. The auth token is currently only used for the Satellite-Cobbler interface; however, it could be used for other interfaces in the future. The token is something that is created by Satellite and passed to Cobbler. git commit: dd823002853b052036cb2e84600c06cd999faabc After further discussion, we decided that since this API is not intended for use by users, the external API doc for it was removed. With this change, the ./apidoc/handlers/AuthHandler.jsp will no longer include checkAuthToken. mass move to ON_QA verified. Verified on staged (Satellite-5.3.0-RHEL5-re20090724.0) with updates from Aug 20, 2009 Help|About > API > auth https://sun-x4200-01.rhts.bos.redhat.com/rhn/apidoc/handlers/AuthHandler.jsp Verified that method checkAuthToken() is not present in the api docs. moving to RELEASE_PENDING An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report.
