Spacewalk Errors Revision as of Sunday, 20 December 2015 at 19:56 UTC

On Server

Invalid Password - Jabber Daemon

If you see this in /var/log/rhn/osa-dispatcher.log

   2011/09/08 17:18:12 -05:00 7402 0.0.0.0: osad/jabber_lib.__init__
   2011/09/08 17:18:13 -05:00 7402 0.0.0.0: osad/jabber_lib.setup_connection('Connected to jabber server', 'spacewalk.example.com')
   2011/09/08 17:18:13 -05:00 7402 0.0.0.0: osad/jabber_lib.register('ERROR', 'Invalid password')

Run this as a cron job every
night
on the server:

   /sbin/service jabberd stop
   /sbin/service osa-dispatcher stop
   rm -Rf /var/lib/jabberd/db/*
   /sbin/service jabberd start
   /sbin/service osa-dispatcher start

Run this on the client:

   service osad stop
   rm /etc/sysconfig/rhn/osad-auth.conf
   service osad start

Checking the FQDN quickly

All three commands should return the same thing (host.domain.tld)

 openssl x509 -text -in `cat /etc/rhn/rhn.conf | grep osa_ssl_cert | sed 's/.* =//'` | grep '^:space:*Subject:.*CN=' | sed 's/.*CN=//' 
 openssl x509 -text -in `grep '^:space:*<id\ .*pemfile="' /etc/jabberd/c2s.xml | sed 's/.*pemfile="\([^"]\).*/\1/'` | grep '^:space:*Subject:.*CN=' | sed 's/.*CN=\(.\)[\/$].*/\1/'
 grep '^:space:*<id\ .*pemfile="' /etc/jabberd/c2s.xml | sed 's/.*>\(.*\).*<.*/\1/'

On Client

osad_client._check_signature: Signatures do not match

   Most likely
you re-ran rhnreg_ks to re-register the system to your spacewalk server. 
   This broke the association of osad user <> systemid that is stored in the DB. 
   Remove the auth file for osad from within /etc/sysconfig/rhn/ on the client and 
   restart osad, this will re-generate a new osad auth file and this error should go away.

So:

  service osad stop
  rm /etc/sysconfig/rhn/osad-auth.conf
  service osad start
