Description Preethi Thomas 2010-10-29 15:36:58 UTC

Description of problem:

If I have bound to a repo on a remote server which is f13 I get  the following error on pulp client
[root@localhost ~]# yum repolist
https://preethi.usersys.redhat.com/pulp/repos/pub/fedora/linux/updates/12/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 52 - ""

Here is my conversation with John for reference

<preethi_> jmatthews, so I have a client & server. I  bind the client to the repo on the server
<preethi_> now when I try yum repolist I see this
<preethi_> https://mypulpserver/pulp/repos/pub/fedora/linux/updates/12/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 52 - ""

<jmatthews> looks like httpd is complaing about how the client is negotiating the ssl connection
<jmatthews> I'm not certain of the fix, but I would like to try something
<preethi> ok
<jmatthews> may I upgraded yum on your client?  you seem to be running an older yum, I think a new one may fix it
<preethi> sure
<preethi> was on a call with prad
<jmatthews> I found another fix
<jmatthews> there is also a server option we can use
<jmatthews> would you write up a bug on the behavior you saw, assign it to me, I will put more info in the bug and will ask the team for recommended fix.  
<jmatthews> seems like if we want to allow older clients we need to add a pararm to apache but it may be a security concern
<preethi> I will do that. thanks john
<jmatthews> to confirm, main issue is that older clients are not able to connect to pulp on f13, they receive an error:  "SSL Library Error: 336068946 error:14080152:SSL routines:SSL3_ACCEPT:unsafe legacy renegotiation disabled"

I see two options.  
1) Upgrade the client, client was using yum 3.2.25 on F12.  I am using 3.2.27 on F12 without issue

2) Modify server to allow "insecure renegotiations".
Add "SSLInsecureRenegotiation on" to /etc/httpd/conf.d/pulp.conf

Comment 3 John Matthews 2010-10-29 16:17:50 UTC

Decided to go with decision 2 so we would be flexible and allow more yum clients ability to connect to pulp and retrieve updates.

Comment 4 Jay Dobies 2010-10-29 16:58:28 UTC

Fixed in 0.77.

Comment 5 Jay Dobies 2010-11-03 19:35:30 UTC

Fixed in build 0.78.
