Description of problem:

Satellite-installer fails with the following error:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.5

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In the '/etc/pam.d/su' file, comment the line:
   auth           sufficient      pam_rootok.so
It should look like this:
   #auth           sufficient      pam_rootok.so

2. Install satellite package
   #yum install satellite -y


3. Run satellite-installer --scenario satellite --foreman-initial-organization "ACME" --foreman-initial-location "RECIFE" --foreman-admin-username admin --foreman-admin-password redhat --verbose
   satellite-installer will fail with the following error:

======================================================

Actual results:
Installation process(yum install satellite -y) finishes successfully 
satellite-installer finishes with the error reported on step3
https://sat65.example.lab/compliance/policies page shows(see attachment openscap-web-error.png):
======================================================
Oops, we're sorry but something went wrong PG::UndefinedTable: ERROR: relation "foreman_openscap_policies" does not exist LINE 8: WHERE a.attrelid = '"foreman_openscap_policie... ^ : SELECT a.attname, format_type(a.atttypid, a.atttypmod), pg_get_expr(d.adbin, d.adrelid), a.attnotnull, a.atttypid, a.atttypmod, c.collname, col_description(a.attrelid, a.attnum) AS comment FROM pg_attribute a LEFT JOIN pg_attrdef d ON a.attrelid = d.adrelid AND a.attnum = d.adnum LEFT JOIN pg_type t ON a.atttypid = t.oid LEFT JOIN pg_collation c ON a.attcollation = c.oid AND a.attcollation <> t.typcollation WHERE a.attrelid = '"foreman_openscap_policies"'::regclass AND a.attnum > 0 AND NOT a.attisdropped ORDER BY a.attnum 
=====================================================

Expected results:
satellite-installer fails with some message like: "User root can not become foreman user" or something more meaningful.
Perhaps, we could implement some sort of test to verify if root can become foreman without asking for password and if it fails, it would throw 
some message during the installer other than one related to Openscap plugin.
 
Additional info:
/var/log/messages we will see the root user trying to become foreman user with a failure message

=======================================================


Here is the fix:
1. In the '/etc/pam.d/su' file, uncomment the line:
#auth           sufficient      pam_rootok.so
it should look like this:
auth           sufficient      pam_rootok.so

2. Remove the Satellite packages by running:
# katellote-remove

3. Install the satellite package
# yum install satellite -y

3. In /var/log/messages we will see the root user trying to become foreman user and this time will work

=====================================================

5. Run the satellite installer:
# satellite-installer --scenario satellite --foreman-initial-organization "ACME" --foreman-initial-location "RECIFE" --foreman-admin-username admin --foreman-admin-password redhat --verbose
This time it will finish succesfully
=====================================================
 Success!
  * Satellite is running at https://sat65.example.lab
      Initial credentials are admin / redhat

  * To install an additional Capsule on separate machine continue by running:

      capsule-certs-generate --foreman-proxy-fqdn "$CAPSULE" --certs-tar "/root/$CAPSULE-certs.tar"

  * To upgrade an existing 6.4 Capsule to 6.5:
      Please see official documentation for steps and parameters to use when upgrading a 6.4 Capsule to 6.5.

  The full log is at /var/log/foreman-installer/satellite.log
=====================================================

6. On the Satellite Openscap policy page will work as expected.

Comment 4 Rafael Cavalcanti 2019-07-30 17:37:35 UTC
What would be the impact if we comment that option after running the satellite-installer?

Thank you,

Rafael

Comment 5 Mike McCune 2019-08-12 20:53:45 UTC
The "auth sufficient  pam_rootok.so" configuration is required for the initial installation as well as critical parts of the on-going operation of Satellite 6.

There is no supportable method for disabling pam_rootok as it is used for:

 * The installation routine
 * Backup utilities
 * All the ongoing operational periodic jobs required to keep Satellite functioning via cron and foreman-rake
 * Upgrades

This would make Satellite be unable to install, upgrade and operate.

If this is a critical configuration in this environment, this BZ should be reworked into an RFE to support disabling pam_rootok but there is no current workaround we are aware of that would allow this to be disabled.

Comment 7 Zach Huntington-Meath 2021-01-25 15:50:59 UTC
If this is still a persistent issue please reopen, but for now we are going to close this.
