Description xingge 2013-06-26 11:30:02 UTC

Description of problem:
Can't open subscription-manager-gui when the registered client's time is changed much earlier than the server's

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
subscription-manager-gui-1.8.10-1.el5
subscription-manager-firstboot-1.8.10-1.el5
subscription-manager-1.8.10-1.el5
python-rhsm-1.8.12-1.el5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.register the system 
#subscription-manager register --username=[] --password=[]
2.Modify the system date to make the client's time earlier than the server's
#date -s 20130312
3.Open the subscription-manager-gui
#subscription-manager-gui

Actual results:
The subscription-manager-gui doesn't open

Expected results:
The subscription-manager-gui should open as the rhel5.9 and rhel6.3 does

Additional info:
I think this bug caused by certificate verify.

Comment 3 Adrian Likins 2013-07-24 22:01:18 UTC

Looks like it is the cert verify. The connection fails because of the time diff, then we assume that if the cert is valid, that means an Expired identity cert, and raise an exception. And then handle it poorly.
