[Freeipa-users] ui timeout issue

2013-11-26 Thread siology.io
I'm seeing an issue with logging into the web UI of ipa. I've been using
IPA for 6 months or so in production, and all has been well so far.

The last thing i did in terms of IPA was run ipa-dns-install, which
completed successfully, but i suspect this issue occured before that i
never noticed as it's been a few weeks since i used the UI. I typically
check the login page works and ldapsearch works after upgrades, but in this
instance the login box is presented, and after entering the credentials it
sits doing nothing for a while, then times out with 'internal server error'

The only useful log i've managed to find is in /var/log/httpd/error_log

[Wed Nov 27 08:41:47 2013] [error] [client (redacted)] Script timed out
before returning headers: wsgi.py, referer: https://(redacted)/ipa/ui/

I'm seeing this behaviour on both my master and replica, but they are both
identical in terms of package versions and such, so it may not be
significant.

My system versions:
Centos 6.4 x64

ipa-python-3.0.0-26.el6_4.4.x86_64
ipa-server-selinux-3.0.0-26.el6_4.4.x86_64
python-iniparse-0.3.1-2.1.el6.noarch
libipa_hbac-1.9.2-82.10.el6_4.x86_64
libipa_hbac-python-1.9.2-82.10.el6_4.x86_64
ipa-client-3.0.0-26.el6_4.4.x86_64
ipa-server-3.0.0-26.el6_4.4.x86_64
ipa-pki-ca-theme-9.0.3-7.el6.noarch
ipa-admintools-3.0.0-26.el6_4.4.x86_64
ipa-pki-common-theme-9.0.3-7.el6.noarch

bind-dyndb-ldap-2.3-2.el6_4.1.x86_64
bind-9.8.2-0.17.rc1.el6_4.6.x86_64

which are (afaik) all latest for centos 6.4

Oddly, i'm not seeing this behaviour in my virtualbox / vagrant IPA
testbed, which has identical version numbers, and wsgi.py in /usr/share/ipa
has identical md5sum.

Not really sure how to approach debugging this further. Any ideas ? Has
anyone else seen this happen ?

The ldapsearch, bind dns and everything else seem operational - just the
GUI is out of action.

doesn't appear so, no. what makes you suspect that ? I never got as far as
doing the ipa-dns-install on the replica. I did it on the master, then went
to login and got this issue. It may well be that it (the UI) was broken
previously. I couldn't work out how to remove the ipa-dns-install to find
out if it magically resumes working though.

A pure speculation:
If the UI presents you the form and you fill it then you are definitely
talking to the server. When you submit the form the server tries to do
kinit on your behalf. It might not be able to determine where its KDC
because the DNS configuration is broken in some way and it is now
looking at the wrong KDC (may be AD KDC or there is a lack of the server
records at all for some reason).

Re: [Freeipa-users] ui timeout issue

2013-11-26 Thread siology.io
yeah maybe. I do see from the install log of the ipa-dns-install that it
changed the /etc/resolv.conf to point to its own ip - which seems a little
odd (and unwanted, more importantly). I've changed that back to how it
should be and restarted ipa but still nothing.

There's no other KDC in the environment that i'm aware of. Certainly, the
dns i was using only have the one set of SRV records for ldap and kdc.

The bit that puzzles me is how/why that would have affected the replica
server also. I asume it's copied the ldap dns data to the replica, but i
never installed bind there or bind-dyndb-ldap, or anything else - so i'd
expect that to be unaffected but it's also broken now. :-(

OK then let us rule out DNS for a moment.

Have you checked the KDC log to see whether the authentication actually
occurred?
If kinit works, I suspect it works too but worth checking.

May be there are some problems with memcached after the form based
authentication to cache the authentication. KDC log would show whether
the kinit and follow up service ticket request for LDAP access actually
occurred.

Also what about SELinux any suspicious AVC?

 I'm seeing an issue with logging into the web UI of ipa.
 I've been using IPA for 6 months or so in production,
 and all has been well so far. 

 The last thing i did in terms of IPA was run
 ipa-dns-install, which completed successfully, but i
 suspect this issue occured before that i never noticed
 as it's been a few weeks since i used the UI. I
 typically check the login page works and ldapsearch
 works after upgrades, but in this instance the login box
 is presented, and after entering the credentials it sits
 doing nothing for a while, then times out with 'internal
 server error'

 The only useful log i've managed to find is in
 /var/log/httpd/error_log

 [Wed Nov 27 08:41:47 2013] [error] [client (redacted)]
 Script timed out before returning headers: wsgi.py,
 referer: https://(redacted)/ipa/ui/
 https://%28redacted%29/ipa/ui/

 What happens before that in the log?
 Any DNS lookup or some other lookup?


 doesn't appear so, no. what makes you suspect that ? I never
 got as far as doing the ipa-dns-install on the replica. I did
 it on the master, then went to login and got this issue. It
 may well be that it (the UI) was broken previously. I
 couldn't work out how to remove the ipa-dns-install to find
 out if it magically resumes working though.



 A pure speculation:
 If the UI presents you the form and you fill it then you are
 definitely talking to the server. When you submit the form the
 server tries to do kinit on your behalf. It might not be able
 to determine where its KDC because the DNS configuration is
 broken in some way and it is now looking at the wrong KDC (may
 be AD KDC or there is a lack of the server records at all for
 some reason).

  



 I'm seeing this behaviour on both my master and replica,
 but they are both identical in terms of package versions
 and such, so it may not be significant.

 My system versions:
 Centos 6.4 x64

 ipa-python-3.0.0-26.el6_4.4.x86_64
 ipa-server-selinux-3.0.0-26.el6_4.4.x86_64
 python-iniparse-0.3.1-2.1.el6.noarch
 libipa_hbac-1.9.2-82.10.el6_4.x86_64
 libipa_hbac-python-1.9.2-82.10.el6_4.x86_64
 ipa-client-3.0.0-26.el6_4.4.x86_64
 ipa-server-3.0.0-26.el6_4.4.x86_64
 ipa-pki-ca-theme-9.0.3-7.el6.noarch
 ipa-admintools-3.0.0-26.el6_4.4.x86_64
 ipa-pki-common-theme-9.0.3-7.el6.noarch

 bind-dyndb-ldap-2.3-2.el6_4.1.x86_64
 bind-9.8.2-0.17.rc1.el6_4.6.x86_64

 which are (afaik) all latest for centos 6.4

 Oddly, i'm not seeing this behaviour in my virtualbox /
 vagrant IPA testbed, which has identical version
 numbers, and wsgi.py in
