Description Chris Feist 2015-02-25 17:32:35 EST
Assuming the user is authenticated, it probably makes sense to send the 'pcs cluster start' command to pcsd if the user is not root (and is authenticated).

proposed fix

Test:
A non-root user is able to create, start, stop, enable, disable, destroy a cluster, add and remove nodes using pcs commands. If the user is not authenticated to the local pcsd he/she will be prompted for login and password automatically.

Before fix:
[user1@rh71-node1 ~]$ pcs cluster stop
Stopping Cluster (pacemaker)... Redirecting to /bin/systemctl stop  pacemaker.service
Failed to issue method call: Access denied
Error: unable to stop pacemaker
[user1@rh71-node1 ~]$ echo $?
1

After fix:
[user1@rh71-node1 ~]$ pcs cluster stop
Please authenticate yourself to the local pcsd
Username: user1
Password: 
localhost: Authorized

Stopping Cluster (pacemaker)... Stopping Cluster (corosync)...

[user1@rh71-node1 ~]$ pcs status nodes
Error: error running crm_mon, is pacemaker running?

Starting Cluster...

[user1@rh71-node1 ~]$ pcs status nodes
