To leverage polkit authorization, I am trying to run the networking provider under UID of the remote user. All the tests pass, just this one fails: ERROR: test_enableDisableIface (test_enable_disable_iface.TestEnableDisableIface) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/mnt/home/project/openlmi-networking/test/test_enable_disable_iface.py", line 82, in test_enableDisableIface self.wbemconnection.InvokeMethod("RequestStateChange", self.ethport.path, RequestedState=pywbem.Uint16(DISABLED)) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pywbem/cim_operations.py", line 817, in InvokeMethod result = self.methodcall(MethodName, obj, **params) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pywbem/cim_operations.py", line 378, in methodcall raise CIMError(code, tt[0][1]['DESCRIPTION']) CIMError: (1, u'CIM_ERR_FAILED: Unable to set state') In syslog, I can see: Jul 15 08:45:14 rawhide cimserver[14692]: networking:[ERROR] /root/openlmi-slave/networking-rawhide/build/openlmi-networking-0.2.2_47_g8399531/src/port.c:167 Unable to open /sys/class/net/ens12/flags: Permission denied We need ability to bring an interface up/down in NetworkManager, we must not do it by ourselves in the provider - the provider does not have permissions to do so. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openlmi-networking git snapshot, commit 4e719dba16c9220326f582bcdc956dbc7a35fa42
It seems NetworkManager has method to do so, "nmcli device disconnect" and "nmcli con up"
