Doc Text:
When upgrading RHUI from 2.0.1 to 2.0.3, custom repositories resulted in mismatch errors from the client certificate and the repository CA certificate, blocking access to the custom repositories. This is caused by the regex used in creating custom repositories only using subarchitectures in the last part of the directory path. This patch prevents entitlement path guessing if there are different architectures involved. Custom repositories are now accessible after upgrades.

Description of problem:
A 2.0.1 deployment containing a custom repository protected by entitlement was updated to 2.0.3. Then client configuration rpm and appropriate entitlement was generated and applied to a client. Client node wasn't able to access the custom repository repomd.xml. Httpd logs on CDSes contained entitlement certificate error:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.0.1-->2.0.3 upgrade; RHEL-6.2-RHUI-2.0.3-20120416.0-Server-x86_64-DVD1.iso

How reproducible:
1 of 1

Steps to Reproduce:
1. deploy 2.0.1 RHUI
2. create custom repository protected by entitlement, make sure it is accessible by client
3. upgrade to 2.0.3
4. generate fresh client entitlements for the custom repository and generate appropriate configuration rpm
5. having applied fresh configuration rpm, client can't access the custom repository 
  
Actual results:
Having upgraded from 2.0.1 to 2.0.3, error accessing custom repository

Expected results:
Accessing custom repositories should work having performed an upgrade

any updates on a recreate?

Comment 5 wes hayutin 2012-04-27 16:59:06 UTC
The issue was found in 2.0.1, I suspect it has to do w/ how the repopath is define d by the user. With the help of jmatthews, I noticed that the repo path had x86_64 in the path name, but not quite were it should be..

rhui (repo) => c

Unique ID for the custom repository (alphanumerics, _, and - only):
protected_x68_64

Display name for the custom repository [protected_x68_64]:


Path at which the repository will be served [protected_x68_64]:
protected_x86_64/x86_64

Algorithm to use when calculating the checksum values for repository metadata:
  1  - sha256
  2  - sha1
Enter value (1-2) or 'b' to abort: 1

Should the repository require an entitlement certificate to access? (y/n)
y

Based on the repository's relative path, the suggested entitlement path is:
  protected_$basearch/$basearch

Path that should be used when granting an entitlement for this repository. This
may use yum variable substitutions (e.g. $basearch) to group this together with
other repositories that share the entitlement [protected_$basearch/$basearch]:

NOTICE.. if you include the key word x86_64 or i386 in the path.. it will get translated to $basearch when the entitlement is define 

****
Path at which the repository will be served [protected_x68_64]:
protected_x86_64/x86_64

**** 
[protected_$basearch/$basearch]:


I don't ** think ** the yum plugin w/ translate the first x86_64.. not sure yet

protected custom repo's working

In this txt file you will see the entitlement cert on the server and client.  The cert contains custom protected repo's and the content is available to the clients.

I also used x86_64 in the path of the repo, but not the name and it worked fine.

I suspect the issues were caused in both 2.0.1 and 2.0.3 by the name and patch convention you used.  The regex that changes x86_64 will change it through out the path not just the last dir of the path.

Comment 7 wes hayutin 2012-04-27 18:24:03 UTC
I was able to recreate the same issue by creating a custom protected repo using the path in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=815975#c5.  

We should probably change this bug to fix the regex that changes x86_64/i386 to only change in the last part of the path so "[protected_$basearch/$basearch]:" can not happen.

Comment 8 wes hayutin 2012-04-27 18:24:18 UTC
flipping to 2.1

Comment 9 mkovacik 2012-05-02 08:01:26 UTC
Just a note: in the original report, the path was: gkrellm/x86_64 and repo ID gkrellm-x86_64 i.e. there was only one spot for the regex to fire. If there are other requirements for the path/repo ID shape, they should be checked and documented properly.

Comment 10 James Slagle 2012-05-08 19:06:59 UTC
we need to make sure to add a unit test for this

Disproving screen log

It is still possible to fool with the educated guess of $basearch selection; e.g. these paths failed to be guessed correctly: x86_64/custom/i386 and custom/i386/x86_64. Looking at the patch I think only the last x86_64 or i386 should match when deciding the $basearch part of the path so this looks like a failure. See the screen log attached.

Comment 14 wes hayutin 2012-08-02 14:02:29 UTC
<slagle> not sure. that's what i was getting at that it might break
<weshay> the example is /path/i386/x86_64/content
<slagle> probably just straight string substitution
<slagle> thing is, the entitlement path is a suggestion, they can override it
<weshay> right..
<weshay> so maybe if both are detected we can warn? 
<slagle> so if they want to do somethign funky like that, the suggestion might not look right, but if they correct it, it would work fine
<weshay> right
<slagle> weshay: i think a warning would be fine, but that would need to be in 2.1.1
<weshay> slagle, so.. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=815975  was failed do to that issue..
<weshay> should we push it to 2.1.1
<weshay> pretty simple just to warn the user
<slagle> weshay: i'm not sure about a warning tbh. what would it say?
<slagle> warning: don't follow our suggestion
<slagle> it's up to them to choose the right path.  with the examples from the bz, we don't really have any idea what they meant
<weshay> slagle, something like... "path contains both the i386 and x86_64 key words, which is not recommended"
<weshay> the other option is just to close the issue.. 
<weshay> I'm ok w/ either really
<slagle> i'm leaning towards leaving it for now, and finding a better solution for 2.1.1
<weshay> k.. I'll push the bug to 2.1.1

Comment 15 James Slagle 2013-01-11 12:39:48 UTC
I actually don't like the idea of trying to guess what the user meant in this case.  We propose a path for the common case when one arch is specified, and this covers 99% of what most people would do.

If they have a path with > 2 arch's they're obviously trying to imply something, but I don't like guessing that maybe they want the first one to be $basearch, or the last one, or the middle one, etc.  So, in this case, I updated the code to not show a suggested entitlement path any different than what they've already entered.

Comment 16 Vitaly Kuznetsov 2013-02-05 10:24:47 UTC
Providing something like /i386/i386 leads to the same problem:

rhui (repo) => c

Unique ID for the custom repository (alphanumerics, _, and - only):
custom/i386/i386

Only alphanumerics, underscore (_), and hyphen (-) are valid in a repository ID.

Unique ID for the custom repository (alphanumerics, _, and - only):
custom-i386-i386

Display name for the custom repository [custom-i386-i386]:


Path at which the repository will be served [custom-i386-i386]:
custom/i386/i386

...

Based on the repository's relative path, the suggested entitlement path is:
  custom/$basearch/$basearch

...

I'll attach a simple patch to replace one and only one arch occurance.

Proposed patch to replace one occurance

Comment 18 James Slagle 2013-02-06 13:48:14 UTC
I was only thinking of 2 different arch's being a problem, so thanks for pointing this out.  

I applied your patch, committed to cloude:
35e77160e81cc8f17fccca5a2598c8dbdba16b59

I'll move this to ON_QA once we get a new iso build out.
