Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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.

Description of problem:
API for user creation fails with:
{"message":"undefined method `key?' for #<JSON::Ext::Generator::State:0x0000000b3fd378>"}
but the user gets created!

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite-6.0.4-RHEL-6-20140823.0-Satellite-x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:

# curl "$(hostname)/api/users" -u admin:changeme -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"user":{"login":"another","mail":"root@localhost","auth_source_id":1,"password":"another_gfolvwxr"}}'


Actual results:
{"message":"undefined method `key?' for #<JSON::Ext::Generator::State:0x0000000b3fd378>"}

Additionally the user *was* created, even if an exception was thrown.

Expected results:
* no error && user gets created
or
* error && do not create the user

Created attachment 930760 [details]
relevant part of /var/log/foreman/production.log

The v2 API appears to be unaffected, please try using /api/v2/users.

Created redmine issue http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/7260 from this bug

V1 API ... my fault.
I created Bug 1133854 to remove V1 API from Sat6 completely.

Or not...

OTOH...

So, the outcome is - "we keep it broken" ?
