Hi Iman, I had the same problem

I was assembling some patches to send to the upstream but I didn't finish it, 
here:https://gist.github.com/dhilst/90bc7e6bf0c4dab10cb0e923297eba0f

There are two patches of for the certificate scripts which should solve the 
problem, the patch for genimage, I'm not sure if it is required or not yet

I hope this helps

Regards,
Daniel

Subject: Re: [xcat-user] xCAT latest version install failure in Rocky 9.5

Hello,

After looking further , it looks to me that the installer fails to do the smoke 
test since the SSL client certificates are not installed ..

This script , /opt/xcat/share/xcat/scripts/setup-local-client.sh is probably 
the script that generates the client certs in /root/.xcat directory .

When it runs , it seems to be failing here:

openssl req -config /etc/xcat/ca/openssl.cnf -new -key client-key.pem -out 
client-req.pem -extensions usr_cert -subj /CN=root
Error adding request extensions from section usr_cert
001EDAAFD77F0000:error:11000079:X509 V3 routines:v2i_AUTHORITY_KEYID:no issuer 
certificate:crypto/x509/v3_akid.c:156:
001EDAAFD77F0000:error:11000080:X509 V3 routines:X509V3_EXT_nconf_int:error in 
extension:crypto/x509/v3_conf.c:48:section=usr_cert, 
name=authorityKeyIdentifier, value=keyid,issuer

So, the client-req.pem file creation fails and then the rest of the file 
creations fail .

I am not sure what could be the problem in openssl.cnf file in the [usr_cert] 
section.  Something in that section openssl does not like , that's my suspicion 
. I compared it to a installation done in Rocky 8.10 OS , and openssl.cnf is 
the same file as the new installation.  Only difference I see is openssl 
version changed in Rocky 9 linux. That might be the cause of it?

Has anyone installed the latest xcat in RHEL 9 or Rocky 9 ?

thanks again.

Hello,
Happy new year to everyone!

I am attempting to do a new install with the go-xcat script in Rocky 9.5 .  And 
it is not happy towards the end of installation.

Here is the error I see:

yaboot-xcat                 1.3.17-rc1                     1.3.17-rc1

'========

'-> test_case_002_lsdef      ... returned with 25

Boo-boo

Something went wrong. :(

It looks like xcatd starts though
[root@poc-mgmt ~]# systemctl status xcatd

But when I want to do any look ups then the SSL certificates are causing issues:

[root@poc-mgmt ~]# tabdump site
Unable to open socket connection to xcatd daemon on localhost:3001.
Verify that the xcatd daemon is running and that your SSL setup is correct.
Connection failure:  at /opt/xcat/lib/perl/xCAT/Client.pm line 282.


That tells me the installation script must have had more things to do and it 
did not complete those steps.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks
