I too have experienced this bug; I used the backspace in the organization and it prompted this error: There was a problem storing the SSL certificate. Exit value: 13. After looking at the logs they are exactly the same! We have re-reviewed this bug, as part of an ongoing effort to improve Satellite/Proxy feature and bug updates, review and backlog. This is a low priority bug and has no currently open customer cases. While this bug may still valid, we do not see it being implemented prior to the EOL of the Satellite 5.x product. As such, this is being CLOSED DEFERRED. Closing now to help set customer expectations as early as possible. You are welcome to re-open this bug if needed. Tomas |
Description of problem: install.pl reads input from stdin in very simple way (compared to say libreadline). This makes it easy to make a typo. This is unpleasant especially around part that obtains data for certificate. When you make typo and try to delete last entered character by pressing <Backspace>, symbol is inserted instead of deleting character. This leads to fail a moment later: ERROR: CA certificate failed to be inserted into the database Installation ends, and user is "forced" to re-run lengthy part of installation that he already passed (it will be shorter as system is already registered and packages are already installed, but it still takes time...). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: always/deterministic Steps to Reproduce: 1. run install.pl 2. when asked about city (or some other field during cert part), pres <Backspace> or arrow keys during installation, try to continue normally. Actual results: > ** SSL: Generating CA certificate. > ** SSL: Deploying CA certificate. > ** SSL: Generating server certificate. > ** SSL: Storing SSL certificates. > There was a problem storing the SSL certificate. Exit value: 13. > Please examine /var/log/rhn/rhn_installation.log for more information. and at the end of /var/log/rhn/rhn_installation.log are following lines: > Deploy the server's SSL key pair/set RPM: > (NOTE: the Red Hat Satellite or Proxy installers may do this step for you.) > The "noarch" RPM needs to be deployed to the machine working as a > web server, or Red Hat Satellite, or Spacewalk Proxy. > Presumably 'smqa-r210-06-vm05.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com'. > Preparing packages for installation... > rhn-org-httpd-ssl-key-pair-smqa-r210-06-vm05.lab.eng.brq-1.0-4 > > ERROR: no organization ID!?! > > Exception reported from smqa-r210-06-vm05.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com > Time: Fri Aug 9 07:41:08 2013 > Exception type <class 'spacewalk.satellite_tools.satCerts.CaCertInsertionError'> > > Exception Handler Information > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/spacewalk/satellite_tools/rhn_ssl_dbstore.py", line 79, in main > satCerts.store_rhnCryptoKey(values.label, values.ca_cert, verbosity=values.verbose) > File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/spacewalk/satellite_tools/satCerts.py", line 682, in store_rhnCryptoKey > _lobUpdate_rhnCryptoKey(rhn_cryptokey_id, caCert) > File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/spacewalk/satellite_tools/satCerts.py", line 650, in _lobUpdate_rhnCryptoKey > cert, rhn_cryptokey_id=rhn_cryptokey_id) > File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/spacewalk/server/rhnSQL/driver_postgresql.py", line 326, in update_blob > apply(c.execute, (), kwargs) > File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/spacewalk/server/rhnSQL/sql_base.py", line 163, in execute > return apply(self._execute_wrapper, (self._execute, ) + p, kw) > File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/spacewalk/server/rhnSQL/driver_postgresql.py", line 273, in _execute_wrapper > retval = apply(function, p, kw) > File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/spacewalk/server/rhnSQL/sql_base.py", line 217, in _execute > return self._execute_(args, kwargs) > File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/spacewalk/server/rhnSQL/driver_postgresql.py", line 287, in _execute_ > self._real_cursor.execute(self.sql, params) > CaCertInsertionError: ERROR: CA certificate failed to be inserted into the database Expected results: Input should either use some readline library or detect invalid input and re-ask for data. It might be nice to ask for correctness confirmation at the end of entering cert-specific data, Additional info: This does not seem to be regression.
