Comment 1 Clifford Perry 2009-07-30 16:35:59 UTC

This bug was cloned to track that if you use white space within the activation key - the resulting key will not function. We should either fix code to remove all white space - or modify backend/client code to pass along the white space correctly and allow it. I am happy with either solution.

Comment 5 Justin Sherrill 2010-01-13 18:53:45 UTC

fixed in master for spacewalk:  1d9847af191e625f6831a344947eb1371ac75997

basically just strip out all whitespace when creating/updating a activation key.  You will need to update any existing keys.

Comment 8 Garik Khachikyan 2010-02-05 13:17:25 UTC

# VERIFIED

Applied a check against Satellites installed on RHEL4 and RHEL5 servers. The
packages of brew build fixed the issue:
spacewalk-java-0.5.44-65.el[4,5]sat
spacewalk-backend-0.5.28-39.el[4,5]sat

Currently there is not possible to have trailing <space>-s while creating/modifying the activation keys... All they are striping.
