Re: 1.2.8 cobbler webUI <-> cobblerd issue

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."
(1) Where did you get the source RPM? Arch-specific src rpms out of the
build system have been known to cause problems. The one of my
fedorapeople page is not known to.
(2) For starters, Is "cobbler check" showing no signs of anything you
need to fix?
(3) How about sharing the relevant authn and authz sections of your
"/etc/cobbler/modules.conf" file?
(4) Is this install perhaps an upgrade from a much older version of
Cobbler? If so, that may cause problems and you should revisit
https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/CobblerWebInterface
(5) selinux booleans can prevent connections. Cobbler check will report
on these.
(6) Try changing the any cobbler XMLRPC addresses in the Cobbler config
from localhost to 127.0.0.1, it may be that localhost does not resolve.
I've tried restarting both daemons, switching authentication
methods to
something besides digest (didn't help).
authn_testing allows "testing/testing" ? That does not work?
Is your Apache configuration in any way modified from a stock install?
This is rather important as depending on setup options this can cause
problems.
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.
It's /var/log/cobbler/cobbler.log, the daemon does not have it's own log.
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.
Sure... take a shot at the above and we can perhaps dive further
depending on answers...
It's probably something simple.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
