Description Frantisek Reznicek 2011-03-30 09:44:50 UTC
Description of problem:

qpidd broker on rhel6 (qpid-cpp-server-0.10-1.el6) does not contain qpidd.sasldb and thus guest authentication is not available there.

This seems to be packaging issue as qpidd reports this issue in his log:
Mar 30 05:33:15 mrg-qe-07 qpidd[12946]: unable to open Berkeley db /var/lib/qpidd/qpidd.sasldb: No such file or directory

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qpid-cpp-server-0.10-1.el6

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. service qpidd restart
2. from another host:
   qpid-config -a guest/guest@<host-rhel61>
   qpid-perftest -b <host-rhel61> --user guest --password guest --count 10 -s
3. echo $?
  
Actual results:
qpidd.sasldb missing in qpid-cpp-server-0.10-1.el6 -> guest authentication not working.

Expected results:
guest authentication should be working and qpidd.sasldb should be added.

Additional info:

Comment 1 Kim van der Riet 2011-03-30 11:24:09 UTC
This was deliberately removed because of multilib problems (ie the i686 and x86_64 versions of this file are not identical and overwrite one another). Also I was assured that this contains only a guest account which is not critical for "real-life" situations, and may even pose a security threat under some circumstances.

Comment 2 Matthew Farrellee 2011-03-30 12:03:39 UTC
Treat removal of the default guest account as a break in backward compatibility.

Comment 3 mick 2011-03-31 17:48:26 UTC
Please see new bug 692617, which replaces this.
