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.

Description Radek Steiger 2014-12-03 13:48:51 UTC

> Description of problem:

If the content of /var/lib/pcsd/tokens gets corrupted and is not a parseable JSON file, reauthenticating with the --force flag will only update the file's timestamp, but leaves its invalid content intact and doesn't produce any error. The --force flag should be able to overwrite the file even if the content is not parseable.

Example of the /var/lib/pcsd/tokens corruption:

{"tardis-03": "d77c8415-e76d-4f6c-8963-b4e04e77898f"} "tardis-02": "bef1fc5c-d140-4d2d-b3ab-6df902d9139f"} "tardis-02": "bef1fc5c-d140-4d2d-b3ab-6df902d9139f"}


> Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

pcs-0.9.137-1.el7


> How reproducible:

Easily


> Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a currupted tokens file (see example above)
2. Run pcs cluster auth --force
3. Check authentication with pcs status


> Actual results:

Re-authentication passes but pcs status shows as not authenticated. Tokens file content has been left intact.


> Expected results:

Authentication re-creates the tokens file and pcsd is auth'd correctly.
