Bug 1401421

same with:
  api.vms.list(query=query)

same call multiple times, different results

(Originally by Petr Vobornik)

Any chances you can repeat this with the "debug=True" parameter and share the results? Otherwise it is very difficult to determine if this is caused by a server side issue or by an SDK issue. Also, it would be helpful to have also the server side logs.

attachment 1117228 [details] contains third run of test(failed at 15th attempt). Ve can see there that the result was as follows - so probably issue on server:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
 <vms/>

test:
        name = self.args.name
        for i in range(0, 30):
            vm = self.backend.api.vms.get(name)
            if not vm:
                print "ERROR: attempt failed: %s" % i
                return
            else:
                print "INFO: attempt successful: %s" % i
        return

- first run failed at 2nd attempt
- second run was successful - all 30 attempts

I don't have access to server logs.

Yes, looks like a server side issue. Can you repeat the same test using basic (user name and password) authentication instead of Kerberos?

(Originally by juan.hernandez)

the API endpoint in the previous example can be used only with Kerberos auth. Luckily the same server has also different API url where basic auth is allowed.

There, I(user which were used with kerberos auth) don't have a the required rights, got:
  status: 400
  reason: Bad Request
  detail: query execution failed due to insufficient permissions.

But the test seems to pass with basic auth, when a different user which was given permissions for the vm is used.

I've tried 500 attempts with the different user and all were successful.

(Originally by Petr Vobornik)

OK, it is an server side authentication issue then, I'm moving to the AAA component.

(Originally by juan.hernandez)

Ravi - thoughts?

(Originally by Oved Ourfali)

Sounds like a network issue performing auth, I will try to reproduce it

This bug is marked for z-stream, yet the milestone is for a major version, therefore the milestone has been reset.
Please set the correct milestone or drop the z stream flag.

I am unable to reproduce this on Master and 3.6 branches (3.6.3 and 3.6.1).
From the attached test run output it does not look like negotiate is failing, just that empty vm list is returned.

Please check on the latest 3.6 and see if it is reproducible, also double check the users permissions.

(Originally by Ravi Nori)

The server was upgraded to 3.6.2.6-0.1.el6 in a meanwhile.

I can still reproduce it, see attachment 1128524 [details] 

Tried 3 times.
1. first 30 was OK.
2. failed on 12th attempt (attached)
3. failed on 52nd attempt (max attempt was raised)

I have no idea what user permissions to check. I'm not admin of the server.

Do you use mod_auth_kerb? If yes, is it possible for you to test with mod_auth_gssapi?

(Originally by Ondra Machacek)

mod_auth_gssapi is available only on RHEL 7 but AFAIK RHEL 7 is not supported with RHEV-M so the answer is no, we cannot test it.

(Originally by Petr Spacek)

As it doesn't happen on any other environment, and we can't seem to reproduce it in any way, I'm closing this one as wontfix.
If you're able to reproduce in a new clean environment please let us know.

(Originally by Oved Ourfali)

Since we are unable to reproduce this on the listed environment I am closing this as WORKSFORME, please feel free to reopen if the problem reoccurs

(Originally by Ravi Nori)

FYI I tried the reproducer from comment 16(only had to change api uri and certificate because it changed since that time, it is updated on the vm) and it reproduced. 

So it si still present on Version 4.0.4.4-0.1.el7ev

If you have issue with it, just ping me.

This is most probably has the same cause as BZ1396833, so marking as dependency
