Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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.

Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
When katello-configure is run more than once with the same credentials, the previous admin user will fail to authenticate on the System Engine webpage. Error handling in the command line code was improved to ensure that the issue does not occur. The previously created user should be able to successfully authenticate to System Engine regardless of repeated execution of the katello-configure command.

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. `katello-configure` with default options
2. run `katello-configure` again with --user-name=[new_username] --user-pass=[new_user_pass]
3a. run katello CLI with credentials from step 2, e.g. `katello -v -u [new_username] -p [new_user_pass]
3b. login WebUI
  
Actual results:
CLI error returned: "error: string indices must be integers (more in the log file /var/log/katello/client.log)"
WebUI display: no error displayed, no page load

Expected results:
successful authentication

I reproduced today.

Looks like this one is the same. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=871086
Comment 3 Lukas Zapletal 2012-10-31 11:39:00 UTC 
Ok reproduced but I got another priority now, putting back to NEW. I apologize.
Comment 4 Lukas Zapletal 2012-10-31 13:02:08 UTC 
Just a head up. This is the error:

2012-10-31 12:51:47,433 [ERROR][MainThread] error() @ base.py:190 - Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/katello/client/cli/base.py", line 202, in main
    ret_code = super(KatelloCLI, self).main(args, command_name, parent_usage)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/katello/client/core/base.py", line 298, in main
    return subcommand.main(self.args[1:], self.args[0], self._get_usage_line(command_name, parent_usage))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/katello/client/core/base.py", line 392, in main
    msg = ", ".join(re.args[1]["errors"])
TypeError: string indices must be integers

And if you wait for few minutes after katello-configure run, it will disappear and everything is working fine then.

Verified:

Turns out this BZ was about displaying "Invalid credentials" as an error message to the user instead of "string indices must be integers"
