Description Stephen Degler 2013-01-05 04:09:39 UTC
Description of problem:

Our proxy server supports NTLM and NEGOTIATE.   We use kerberos, so we need yum to support working with kerberos authentication. 

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

17 and 18-Beta


How reproducible:

Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure a proxy that supports NEGOTIATE
2. Configure yum on a Fedora 17 or 18-Beta system (anything with fix from BZ769254)
3. Log in or kinit to get kerberos credentials
4. Run yum update.

Actual results:

Yum fails to retrieve metadata and packages via the proxy server, giving up immediately when it receives the 407 message from the proxy.

Expected results:

Yum succeeds in retrieving metadata and packages via the proxy server

Additional info:

I believe the underlying issue that prevented NTLM working in BZ769254 is now fixed so reverting the change introduced in BZ769254 should work.  I did this manually without repackaging and it worked for the NEGOTIATE case.

I would be happy to test as I happen to have a number of proxy servers supporting different auth mechanisms that I can access at the moment.

Comment 1 Zdeněk Pavlas 2013-01-08 09:00:42 UTC
No, BZ 769254 is a workaround to curl Bug 835869, which is currently not fixed.  When BZ 835869 is fixed, we can enable NEGOTIATE again.

- Reliable BASIC+NTLM is (currently) more important.
- Kerberos was never officially supported in urlgrabber anyway.

Comment 2 Zdeněk Pavlas 2013-01-08 10:49:07 UTC
Seems that the upstream bug #3545398 http://sourceforge.net/p/curl/bugs/1127/ was fixed on 2012-08-05, and curl 7.28.0+ should work fine.  Added a runtime version check, so we'll enable it again.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 16:42:30 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Comment 4 Stephen Degler 2013-06-06 23:08:32 UTC
Still present in Fedora 19 beta.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 17:33:36 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2015-02-17 14:39:07 UTC
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
