Description Stefan Meyer 2018-11-15 11:15:41 UTC
Description of problem:
Whne Satellite 6.4 is connected to an IPA server it fails to run Ansible commands on client systems

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
- Satellite 6.4.0
- ansible-2.7.0-1.el7ae.noarch

How reproducible:
Everytime the Satellite is configured as an ipa client

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Satellite 6.4.0
2. Connect Satellite to IPA server
3. Try to run an Ansible command on a command on a client

Actual results:
The run fails with:
fatal: [fluffy.example.com]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host\r\n", "unreachable": true} 

Expected results:
The run should work

Additional info:
The ipa client changes the  file /etc/ssh/ssh_config when it is configured and adds the line

  ProxyCommand /usr/bin/sss_ssh_knownhostsproxy -p %p %h

This was already reported for ovirt/RHV in this bugzillas:
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1529851#c14
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1531967#c5

Workaround:
Comment the line in /etc/ssh/ssh_config like this:

  #ProxyCommand /usr/bin/sss_ssh_knownhostsproxy -p %p %h

and the Ansible jobs are working again.

Comment 5 Pablo Hess 2018-12-07 14:35:28 UTC
Alternate *less intrusive* workaround that will allow Satellite to run Ansible playbooks successfully without messing with system-wide ssh_client settings:

---
# cat ~foreman-proxy/.ssh/config
Host *
  ProxyCommand none
---

Since Ansible playbooks are being run by the foreman-proxy user, this will override the ProxyCommand option for this user only while the rest of the system can keep using sss_ssh_knownhostsproxy as intended by IPA.

Comment 6 Matthew LeSieur 2019-04-12 15:10:03 UTC
All,
  I also ran into the ProxyCommand problem, but I found two different errors in the Plays that I ran.  Updating the foreman-proxy user's SSH configuration as per Pablo Hess (comment 5) resolved the problem.

fatal: [satellite.example.com]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: key_load_public: invalid format\r\nwrite: Broken pipe", "unreachable": true}

fatal: [satellite.example.com]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: key_load_public: invalid format\r\nssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host", "unreachable": true}

Thanks
Matthew LeSieur

Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite 6 since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/25481 has been resolved.

Comment 12 Lukas Pramuk 2019-10-13 22:20:55 UTC
VERIFIED.

@Satellite 6.6.0 Snap22
foreman-installer-1.22.0.16-1.el7sat.noarch

# tail -2 /etc/foreman-proxy/ansible.cfg
[ssh_connection]
ssh_args = -o ProxyCommand=none

>>> ansible ssh_args override any proxy commands to empty for ansible runs only
