Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 251490
Configration values are casted to int
Last modified: 2008-04-02 16:31:18 EDT
Description of problem: During work on BZ 248890, I found that we try for every key = value, cast value to int. But this sometime cause trouble. Like proxy.http_proxy_username or proxy.http_proxy_password. As I see it can be problem for: hibernate.connection.username hibernate.connection.password osa-dispatcher.jabber_username osa-dispatcher.jabber_password Other configuration values should be ok. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.0.0 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. setup satellite or proxy behind http proxy 2. set http proxy name or pass to 0123 Actual results: it will fail Expected results: not fail Additional info: The problem is in file /usr/share/rhn/common/rhnConfig.py on line 436 in sanitize function.
fixed in rev 133362. Currently, these values will be always treated as strings: 'proxy.http_proxy_username' 'proxy.http_proxy_password' 'hibernate.connection.username' 'hibernate.connection.password' 'osa-dispatcher.jabber_username' 'osa-dispatcher.jabber_password' 'server.satellite.http_proxy_username' 'server.satellite.http_proxy_password' 'server.satellite.rhn_parent'

Hi Preethi, It may just be easier if you look at the code. I'm not sure how to have you test it without setting up a http proxy or modifying the db connection info (which i don't know how to do). If you look in /usr/share/rhn/common/rhnConfig.py at the parse_line function, you'll see a conversion table that lists all the values listed above along with the type they should be (str for string). I then have: if converTable.get(key): try: val = converTable.get(key)(val) except ValueError: pass which says if the key is in the table, convert it to whichever type it should be converted to.
moving to on_dev after promoting the package to the proxy for the next qa push.
Preethi, you have test plan writen in my initial comment: Steps to Reproduce: 1. setup satellite or proxy behind http proxy 2. set http proxy name or pass to 0123 So in more detail. 1. Install squid on one machine 2. allow only access for user 0123, with pass 0123 3. Install rhn proxy on second machine 4. in /etc/rhn/rhn.conf set: 5. proxy.http_proxy = to point on first machine with squid 6. proxy.http_proxy_username = 0123 7. proxy.http_proxy_password = 0123 To do it correctly. You should repeat it for jabberd, satellite, hibernate and osa-dispatcher.

works in stage.
