RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2012:0752 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE rhn-client-tools and yum-rhn-plugin bug fix and enhancement update 2012-06-19 19:31:17 UTC

Description Milan Zázrivec 2011-08-09 15:31:24 UTC 
Description of problem:
In case client is setup to use SSL for server connection and server's
SSL certificate validation failed (for whatever reason), following traceback
is printed into /var/log/up2date:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/rhn_register", line 76, in <module>
    app.run()
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rhncli.py", line 74, in run
    sys.exit(self.main() or 0)
  File "/usr/sbin/rhn_register", line 58, in main
    ui.main()
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/tui.py", line 1272, in main
    tui.run()
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/tui.py", line 1230, in run
    result = win.run()
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/tui.py", line 235, in run
    tui_call_wrapper(self.screen, rhnreg.getCaps)
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/tui.py", line 85, in tui_call_wrapper
    FatalErrorWindow(screen, e.errmsg)
<type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>: 'SSLCertificateVerifyFailedError' object has no attribute 'errmsg'

Note the following two lines in there:

    FatalErrorWindow(screen, e.errmsg)

and
    <type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>: 'SSLCertificateVerifyFailedError' object has no attribute 'errmsg'

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhn-client-tools-1.0.0-61.el6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Client -> Server connection using SSL, simulate failure of SSL validation
(point the client to an incorrect CA certificate for example)
2. Run rhn_register
3. Watch /var/log/up2date
  
Actual results:
Traceback above.

Expected results:
Error message about SSL validation, but no traceback telling us we called
a non-existent attribute.

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2011-10-07 16:04:20 UTC 
Since RHEL 6.2 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

> Is this errata fix applicable to RHEL 5 systems?

I don't remember this issue ever being present on RHEL 5 systems. Do you have a customer case to suggest otherwise?
Comment 16 Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2012-11-07 07:18:56 UTC 
What rhn-client-tools version is this?

Good. That is the latest greatest for RHEL 5. If the problem persists for your customer, we will need new RHEL 5 bugzilla filed.

No.
