RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1, see this steps: http://www.openlmi.org/sites/default/files/doc/admin/openlmi-providers/latest/account/usage.html#create-user

>>> cs = conn.root.cimv2.PG_ComputerSystem.first_instance()
>>> lams = conn.root.cimv2.LMI_AccountManagementService.first_instance()
>>> lams.CreateAccount(Name="lmishell-user", System=cs)
LMIReturnValue(rval=-1, rparams={}, errorstr=u"CIM_ERR_FAILED: Unable to create account on the given System\n: 'CreateAccount'")

or:
>>> lams.CreateAccount(Name="lmishell-user")
LMIReturnValue(rval=-1, rparams={}, errorstr=u"CIM_ERR_FAILED: Required parameters not specified\n: 'CreateAccount'")


Actual results:
cannot create user

Expected results:
create user

Additional info:
I tried PG_ComputerSystem or CIM_ComputerSystem with the same results

is docs (link at step 1) updated?

Comment 3 Tomáš Bžatek 2013-10-23 16:17:06 UTC
This is caused by non-matching object paths of active CIM_ComputerSystem instance.

Debugging revealed two problems:
 1. PG_ComputerSystem instance having incorrenctly set CreationClassName="CIM_ComputerSystem" property. This is dependent bug 1022629.
 2. non-matching hostname, i.e. "localhost" vs. "localhost.localdomain"

Comment 4 Tomáš Bžatek 2013-11-01 10:53:38 UTC
(In reply to Petr Sklenar from comment #0)
> >>> cs = conn.root.cimv2.PG_ComputerSystem.first_instance()

You need to use Linux_ComputerSystem for the moment, PG_ComputerSystem is coming soon (bug 1018674).

> is docs (link at step 1) updated?

They're, for upstream, where the change has been already done. I admit this is rather unfortunate.

However, in upstream 0.4.0 release where PG_ComputerSystem was used by default an issue with non-matching hostnames persists. This has been fixed recently upstream by commit https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/openlmi-providers.git/commit/?id=49394a84fe1235b692fc32d903bf3486e41f76b4

Marking this bugreport blocked by bug 1023467. I'm going to do more tests to ensure the hostname mismatches are gone.

Comment 5 Jan Safranek 2013-11-01 11:18:40 UTC
This is already done upstream, waiting for release.

Comment 7 Petr Sklenar 2013-11-06 13:29:39 UTC
