Ted Ross created PROTON-1008: -------------------------------- Summary: Using a blank mech_list disables authentication Key: PROTON-1008 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-1008 Project: Qpid Proton Issue Type: Bug Components: python-binding Affects Versions: 0.11 Reporter: Ted Ross Fix For: 0.11
This bug was introduced in commit https://github.com/apache/qpid-proton/commit/14956b07edc3de93f67179c753bbedcd9eba51a6 If the client leaves allowed_mechs as None, the SASL protocol is not even executed. I claim that allowed_mechs is used to restrict the set of acceptable mechanisms. If it is None, then all available mechanisms may be used. This bug causes a failure in the Qpid Dispatch test suite (system_tests_qdstat). The failure is when the server requires authentication and will accept EXTERNAL and the client has a valid client-certificate but doesn't use the sasl protocol because qdstat doesn't (and can't) set the allowed_mechs. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
