Hey everyone,
I had FreeIPA authentication set up on my oVirt instance and it was working
great. Then something happened that disconnected my NFS storage and caused
a problem with my hosted-engine. Once I got it back up and running again,
my FreeIPA authentication was sill a choice for authentication, but it
always rejects my password even though it is correct. I have tried running
the setup again to no avail. Nothing shows up in the httpd error log when
the login fails. The engine.log from ovirt-engine in /var/log shows the
following upon attempting to authenticate with a user from freeIPA:
2018-04-23 08:08:24,384-06 WARN
[org.ovirt.engineextensions.aaa.ldap.Framework] (default task-34) []
Ignoring records from pool: 'authz'
2018-04-23 08:08:24,384-06 ERROR
[org.ovirt.engine.core.sso.servlets.InteractiveAuthServlet] (default
task-34) [] Cannot authenticate user 'nesretep@IPA' connecting from
'UNKNOWN': The username or password is incorrect.
I'm not sure why 'authz' is being ignored but it is certainly why IPA
authentication isn't working as 'username@authz' is how IPA logins show up
in oVirt when they do work. Any ideas where to look next?
