Description of problem: /etc/ovirt-engine/.pgpass was used by releases up to and including 3.2 to store database access credentials. 3.3 checks this file during upgrade from 3.2, but also on a new setup, if it exists, and fails if the credentials there point to an inaccessible database. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install 3.2 2. run engine-setup 3. Copy /etc/ovirt-engine/.pgpass to a backup elsewhere 4. engine-cleanup 5. Install (or upgrade to) 3.3 6. Copy the backup back to /etc/ovirt-engine/.pgpass 7. run engine-setup Actual results: engine-setup fails with: [ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Misc configuration': FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "engine" FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "engine" Expected results: engine-setup should continue, ignoring this file and creating a new database or connect to an existing one as chosen by the user Additional info: This file is cleaned by 3.2's engine-cleanup. 3.3.'s engine-setup used to leave it behind as-is until recently. Now it zeros it. 3.3.'s engine-cleaup does not touch it.
Verified on rhevm3.3 is27, works for >= is24. reproduced as per description with update from rhevm 3.2 sf22 to rhevm 3.3 is27.
