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.

Fixed In Version: ovirt-node-2.5.0-6.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
When registering Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor to Red Hat Network (RHN) or the Subscription Manager, the registration failed with "invalid credentials". This was caused by a regression introduced by another fix where the passwords were masked in log files. The passwords were being submitted still masked. The solution was to duplicate the list values instead of having both the logging function and the authentication function share the same dataset.

Description Mike Burns 2012-10-15 00:47:08 UTC 
Description of problem:
when registering to RHN or SAM (and presumably Satellite, though I don't have it available to test), the registration fails with invalid permissions.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ovirt-node-2.5.0-6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.provide correct credentials to rhn reg screen.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
fails

Expected results:
succeeds

Additional info:

Issue is already debugged and a patch is in the works.  Previous changes to restrict the passwords from showing in log files caused the password to be passed to registration commands as "XXXXXX" instead of "password"

The system has been registered with id: 694676db-77b6-4558-9d9e-5bd5fb0aa467
Installed Product Current Status:

so that assign
logged_args = list(args)
any
operation you do on "logged_args", don't destroy the content of list "args",
so registering to RHN or SAM by using list "args" successfully

this bug has been fixed, change the status into "VERIFIED"
