Hello oVirt Users,

Just signed up to the user mailing list and have a question regarding an error being reported to stdout when running engine-manage-domains.

When running the `engine-manage-domains` utility from the command line I see the following error reported:

[root@hive ovirt-engine]# engine-manage-domains -action=list

Failed reading current configuration. Details: Error "Key for add operation must be defined!" while reading configuration value AdUserName.

A quick Google on this leads directly to Bugzilla – Bug 883846 – which looks like it’s fixed in the 3.2 version. Can anyone confirm that? I’ve inherited a DL580 running oVirt Manager and a bunch of VM’s, and don’t really want to undertake an upgrade just now if I don’t have to.

The real problem seems to be that I can’t assign a user with any roles since the ldap lookup to the active server fails – due, I think, to the fact that the query is configured to authenticate with the previous admins credentials – they left and the account is now disabled. J

From the /var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log

 2013-07-25 11:32:15,574 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.adbroker.GSSAPIDirContextAuthenticationStrategy] (ajp--0.0.0.0-8009-1) Authentication failed. The user is either locked or disabled

2013-07-25 11:32:15,575 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.adbroker.DirectorySearcher] (ajp--0.0.0.0-8009-1) Failed ldap search server LDAP://<my_active_directory>:389 due to org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.adbroker.EngineDirectoryServiceException. We should not try the next server: org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.adbroker.EngineDirectoryServiceException

The above gets written out as soon as I hit the Go button in the Add System Permission to User dialogue window.

Thanks in advance for any advice!
