Hi

We use cobbler with spacewalk over the top and there is an auth
mechanism called authn_spacewalk which as far as i can tell is
provided by Spacewalk. I am trying to use the xmlrpc api to add
systems into cobbler but all i ever get is ....

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "xml-rpc.py", line 13, in ?
    token = conn.login("testuser","testpass")
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/xmlrpclib.py", line 1096, in __call__
    return self.__send(self.__name, args)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/xmlrpclib.py", line 1383, in __request
    verbose=self.__verbose
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/xmlrpclib.py", line 1147, in request
    return self._parse_response(h.getfile(), sock)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/xmlrpclib.py", line 1286, in _parse_response
    return u.close()
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/xmlrpclib.py", line 744, in close
    raise Fault(**self._stack[0])
xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault 1: "cobbler.cexceptions.CX:'login failed: testuser'">

'testuser' using 'testpass' can log into Spacewalk just fine. Anyone
tried this or have any clues?

# authentication:
# what users can log into the WebUI and Read-Write XMLRPC?
# choices:
#    authn_denyall    -- no one (default)
#    authn_configfile -- use /etc/cobbler/users.digest (for basic setups)
#    authn_passthru   -- ask Apache to handle it (used for kerberos)
#    authn_ldap       -- authenticate against LDAP
#    authn_spacewalk  -- ask Spacewalk/Satellite (experimental)
#    authn_testing    -- username/password is always testing/testing (debug)
#    (user supplied)  -- you may write your own module

module = authn_spacewalk
