Description daniel.gerne 2012-05-29 08:02:58 UTC
Description of problem:
Cannot get either osad nor osa connecting to jabber on spacewalk-server.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Follow https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToInstall
2. /etc/init.d/osa-dispatcher restart
3.
  
Actual results:
From /var/log/messages

On /etc/init.d/osa-dispatcher restart:

Client will print out same lines on stdout on service osad restart.

Expected results:
Working osad.

Additional info:
# grep osa /etc/rhn/rhn.conf
osa-dispatcher.jabber_server = FQDN
osa-dispatcher.osa_ssl_cert = /var/www/html/pub/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT


The Guide did not mention configuring the jabber server. Do I have to setup one myself? Found https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/OsadHowTo. But this does not state how to setup jabber in the first place.

Comment 1 daniel.gerne 2012-05-29 08:47:06 UTC
When I attempt to remove a package from a registered client, the job will fail:
This action's status is: Failed.
The client picked up this action on 05/29/12 3:55:43 AM EDT.
The client completed this action on 05/29/12 3:55:44 AM EDT.
Client execution returned "Fatal error in Python code occured [[6]]" (code -1)

I assume the Python error is caused by osad?

Comment 2 daniel.gerne 2012-05-29 11:09:26 UTC
https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/OSADSetup
I did all of this.

Comment 3 daniel.gerne 2012-05-31 12:30:13 UTC
Am I correct to assume that the 'jabber server' should be the spacewalk server itself? As far as I read the spacewalk-setup should have configured the jabber configuration. Or do I have to do this? I did not find any page in the Spacewalk-Wiki about jabber-server configuration.

Comment 4 Milan Zázrivec 2012-06-01 09:38:06 UTC
What do your jabberd config files look like?

I'm interested in:

    /etc/jabberd/c2s.xml
    /etc/jabberd/s2s.xml
    /etc/jabberd/sm.xml
    /etc/jabberd/router.xml

Comment 6 Milan Zázrivec 2012-06-01 15:25:14 UTC
The config files look OK.

When you start the jabberd service on your Spacewalk, do you see all
jabberd daemons (c2s, s2s, sm, router) running?

Do you see any SELinux denials?

Is /etc/pki/spacewalk/jabberd/server.pem readable by jabber? I.e it should
look like:

# ls -lZ /etc/pki/spacewalk/jabberd/server.pem 
-rw-------  jabber jabber system_u:object_r:cert_t         /etc/pki/spacewalk/jabberd/server.pem

Are the jabberd config files readable by jabber? I.e.:

# ls -lZ /etc/jabberd/*.xml
-rw-r-----  jabber jabber root:object_r:etc_t              /etc/jabberd/c2s.xml
-rw-r-----  jabber jabber root:object_r:etc_t              /etc/jabberd/router-filter.xml
-rw-r-----  jabber jabber root:object_r:etc_t              /etc/jabberd/router-users.xml
-rw-r-----  jabber jabber root:object_r:etc_t              /etc/jabberd/router.xml
-rw-r-----  jabber jabber root:object_r:etc_t              /etc/jabberd/s2s.xml
-rw-r-----  jabber jabber root:object_r:etc_t              /etc/jabberd/sm.xml

thanks fpr checking my config files.

What can I do to fix this?

Comment 11 Milan Zázrivec 2012-06-04 17:21:25 UTC
OK, does the described problem show with SELinux permissive?

Would relabeling the file system (SELinux labels) help?

Comment 12 daniel.gerne 2012-06-05 06:48:25 UTC
Hello,

I just disabled SELinux temporarily by
echo 0 >/selinux/enforce
and tried spacewalk-service restart: The error was still present.

Then I tried relabeling the SELinux labels by
touch /.autorelabel
reboot

and tried spacewalk-service restart: The error was still present.

Also tried switching off SELinux after relabeling but the error is still present.

regards

Which error is still present after relabeling? The SELinux denials? If so,
are they new denials?

Comment 14 daniel.gerne 2012-06-05 07:12:06 UTC
Hello,

I was referring to the error on restarting the spacewalk-services:

Starting osa-dispatcher: RHN 3688 2012/06/05 08:43:10 +02:00: ('Not able to reconnect',)

Comment 15 daniel.gerne 2012-06-05 09:35:36 UTC
Do you think a reinstallation could solve this issue? Currently we are running CentOS. Could a change to fedora help? Are there any Appliances for Spacewalk?

Comment 16 Milan Zázrivec 2012-06-05 09:41:46 UTC
What you're experiencing seems like an SSL configuration issue (incorrect
certificate, common name, etc).

Reinstallation could help the problem, although I don't have a good
sense on what would be better for you -- Fedora or CentOS. Both should
work just fine (although CentOS / RHEL is certainly more tested & stable).

Comment 17 daniel.gerne 2012-06-05 09:56:15 UTC
I just redid spacewalk-setup --disconnected with no success. When it asks for a CA password during SSL cert creation, should I leave that empty? Could that be the issue?

Comment 18 Milan Zázrivec 2012-06-05 10:04:37 UTC
(In reply to comment #17)

No, don't leave that empty. You need to have your CA password protected.

Comment 19 daniel.gerne 2012-06-06 06:59:47 UTC
Is there a log where I may find clues about what is wrong with SSL?
The error provided by osa-dispatcher seems very generic as I've found a lot of other users getting the same error, but their solutions won't fix mine.

Could I disable SSL in osa-dispatcher for testing?

Comment 20 Milan Zázrivec 2012-06-08 12:38:21 UTC
Not really a log.

You just need to make sure your hostname / fqdn is configured correctly
and that it matches CN found in your SSL certificate (that server.pem
file that jabberd is pointed to).

For some reason it seems like your jabberd configuration doesn't work
with SSL / TLS.

You can check /var/log/messages for errors from jabberd processes (c2s
in particular) when starting jabberd or you can start c2s manually
(when jabberd is off) and look for errors with:

    # . /etc/init.d/functions
    # daemon --user jabber "/usr/bin/c2s -D -c /etc/jabberd/c2s.xml"

Comment 21 daniel.gerne 2012-06-11 06:17:35 UTC
The CN entry is the correct FQDN.
There seems to be no output to messages.
This is the output of the command provided (spacewalk services down):

Hej Milan,

could the above mentioned bug be caused by a domain name with capital letters? The given config files do contain a capitalized domain name, and the Red Hat Network Satellite installation documentation states in chapter 2.4 (additional requirements), that this can cause problems:

>It is important that the hostname of a Satellite contains no uppercase
> letters. A hostname that includes uppercase letters can cause jabberd
> to fail.

Cheers,

Roland

Hmm, could be.

In truth, I was not aware of this requirement.

Hello,

the problem was solved by renaming the server's hostname so it does not include capital letters. Afterwards I had to rerun spacewalk-setup as the spacewalk-rename script (from spacewalk-utils package) does not work with the postgres backend (Oracle only).

For the setup to be able to overwrite the certificate I had to remove the rpm identified by 
# rpm -qa|grep rhn-org-httpd

I would like to suggest to add this information ( about the capital letters incompatibility ) to https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/OsadHowTo or to add a check to the spacewalk-setup in order to provide some a warning at least.
