Hi list!
I'm looking at overhauling an existing PXE-based provisioning system for
a blend of older Fedora servers and some
CentOS development machines. I installed cobbler from the 1.2.8 source
RPM a couple days ago and I'm having some
trouble getting the web UI to authenticate to cobblerd. I can
authenticate as far as Apache is concerned, but
as soon as I click on a link in the UI that requires an XMLRPC call, I
get an exception that turns out to be
"403: Forbidden."
I've tried restarting both daemons, switching authentication methods to
something besides digest (didn't help).
The user is listed as an admin group member in the authorization group
config file. cobblerd doesn't seem to
be logging output to /var/log/cobbler/cobblerd.log, even if I uncomment
all the debug log info at the top of
cobblerd.
I also poked around in my Apache httpd configs, but didn't see anything
immediately off - the cobbler.conf is from
the cobbler distribution, and authentication works as far as Apache and
mod_python are concerned.
Does anyone have any ideas on how/where I can fix this? Cobbler's main
functionality seems to be okay, but I'd
really like to get the web UI working before I go any further.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
