Bug 520055

Also I see this inthe cobblerd.log:

2009-08-31 09:00:16,828 - api - login attempt; user(admin)
2009-08-31 09:00:16,828 - api - authenticate; ['admin', False]

    raise CX(_("login failed: %s") % login_user)

# cobbler aclsetup --adduser=admin

OK, I have changed:

And now I can see list of the kickstarts.

But still, when I want to KS my system, cobblerd.log shows (I have also reacivated the system: Details -> Reactivation -> rhnreg_ks...):

2009-08-31 09:49:32,270 - api - calling authorize for resource ['new_system', None, None]; user(jhutar)

   File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/item_system.py", line 325, in set_name
    raise CX(_("invalid characters in name: %s") % x)

And my system's profilename is "MAT (dhcp-lab-126.englab.brq.redhat.com)", so this might be the cause.

So, maybe this is for 2 bugs:

 1. satellite users can not authenticate to the cobblerd
    => somebody who knows how satellite manages cobbler users,
       should check everithing is OK (this might be a NOTABUG, as I have
       the satellite on the system where I had multiple older nightlies
       and everytime just removed DB and uninstalled all satellite packages)
 2. although satellite allows me to use "(" char in the profilename,
    cobbler do nt like that
    => could anybody with clean satellite install verify this?

Justin can you take a review of this bug and determine how critical/urgent it is. If it can wait for 531 (or beyond) or needs attention sooner. 

Thanks,
Cliff

jan, 

can you point me to a reproducer?  I see the client, but not the spacewalk server.

Thanks!

Actually nevermind, I easily recreated it :}

This should have been fixed and released as part of RHBA-2009:1566.  Going to go ahead and close.
