Description

The Rudder servers should not accept a machine if the CFEngine key changes. Their info should not be duplicated (report, mount point).

No problem in particular, except those referenced in #1151 that seem to be my fault.

Thus, since I have no item multiplication in inventory, what do I do ?

I'll try to reproduce, I have a machine to reintegrate anyway.

This works like a charm - even after changing the key, the machine is accepted. But it comes from the "trustkeys" from cf-serverd, I think. Bug or not ?

Their info should not be duplicated (report, mount point).

Cannot reproduce this.

Looks like it is not a bug, but I'd like that we investigate in the end why the key is accepted

  • Target version changed from 9 to 17
  • Estimated time set to 5.00 h
Removing the server trustkeyfrom from the server, that accepts all the nodes by default.
The clients come with a promise set, we can then have a minimal config that:
  • Run an inventory
  • Run cf-serverd, having the rudder server IP address in their trustkeysfrom

And when we accept the host on the Rudder server, the server runs a cf-runagent interactive to accept the key and update the promises.

Thus, we need to find a way to run an interactive command non interactively, and verify that it works.

The generated promises do NOT have the server trustkeyfrom nevertheless

It seems that the problems listed in that ticket are a subset of the ones handled in #6363.

I'm linking #6363 as a parent task, but perhaps this one is just not relevant anymore.

This problem is not relevant anymore.
It is superseded by #6363. Now inventories are signed and there is a way to trust keys and to renew keys without loosing this trust.
