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 Maxim Burgerhout 2016-09-12 08:52:24 UTC 
Description of problem:
When creating an image (in this case on GCE), you can specify a username. Iiuc, this username is then used by Satellite to run the finish_template.

On GCE, this username is completely ignored, so when creating a new instance, the Fog default of 'root' is used to setup ssh public key authentication for. This fails, of course, because root would never be allowed to log in remotely on a cloud instance by default.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.2.1

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup GCE compute resource (see bug 1374335)
2. Specify image and setup username
3. Try and create a new host

Actual results:
Running the finish_template fails, so new host is left unconfigured

Expected results:
Finish_template runs

Additional info:
Workaround is to override the default in line 20 of /opt/theforeman/tfm/root/usr/share/gems/gems/fog-core-1.36.0/lib/fog/compute/models/server.rb, so I'm thinking the username is not passed to the Fog Google::Server class properly.
Comment 1 Maxim Burgerhout 2016-09-12 09:07:55 UTC 
Just to make sure: what happens is that ssh key authentication is setup for the default user (i.e. root), but login from Satellite for running the finish_template is actually attempted with the username specified for the image.

Can provide screenshots if unclear.

Comment 4 Bryan Kearney 2018-09-04 17:47:36 UTC 
Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please feel free to contact Rich Jerrido or Bryan Kearney. Thank you.
