Plugins » Katello

When running a 4.0 Katello with a 3.18 proxy (which should work), I get the following error when trying to sync it:

# hammer capsule content synchronize --id=2
Could not synchronize capsule content:
  There was an issue with the backend service pulp_auth: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=error: certificate verify failed (error number 1)

This is technically correct (the best kind of correct), as there is no pulp_auth service with 4.0 anymore:

# hammer ping
database:         
    Status:          ok
    Server Response: Duration: 0ms
candlepin:

    Server Response: Duration: 51ms

    Server Response: Duration: 0ms

    Status:          ok
    Server Response: Duration: 45ms
katello_events:   
    Status:          ok
    message:         12 Processed, 0 Failed
    Server Response: Duration: 1ms
pulp3:            
    Status:          ok
    Server Response: Duration: 130ms
foreman_tasks:    
    Status:          ok
    Server Response: Duration: 5ms

Luckily this seems to be only an issue with the BackendServicesCheck middleware we have, as disabling the check with

# hammer setting set --name check_services_before_actions --value false
Setting [check_services_before_actions] updated to [].

makes the whole setup work and the 3.18 proxy gets properly triggered to sync and receives content just fine.
