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):

'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

By default authn_spacewalk doesn't allow logins using spacewalk
usernames and passwords. It's only really meant to allow the spacewalk
server to communicate with cobbler (Which uses it's own auth
mechanism). If you do want to be able to login to cobbler using
spacewalk usernames and passwords, simply edit /etc/cobbler/settings and
set:
redhat_management_permissive: 1
Then restart cobbler. The user you login with has to be a config_admin
or org_admin, but other than that, it should work.
