I'm trying to create a new system profile using perl through the XMLRPC API.
Things work great using python, but when I try to use either of the above perl
interfaces, I'm not able to actually write any of the new objects I've created:
Reading items works a charm, and it looks like the calls themselves are
succeeding, but the host never shows up in a:
#[root@spacewalk cobbler]# cobbler system list | grep test
#
I'm wondering what's going wrong here; am I not authenticating properly?
I've tried using both XML::RPC and XMLRPC::Lite, and get similar results, where
reads work fine, but nothing actually 'sticks'
Here's the script that I'm using for XMLRPC::Lite
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use XMLRPC::Lite;
use Data::Dumper;
my $username = 'api-user';
my $password = 'sapi-user';
my $proto = 'http://';
my $servername = 'spacewak';
my $api = '/cobbler_api';
my $url = $proto . $servername . $api;
my $name = 'vacsld01test';
my $conn =
XMLRPC::Lite->proxy('https://vacslp01spacewalk.cucbc.com/cobbler_api');
my $token = $conn->login($username, $password)->result();
my $object = $conn->new_system($token)->result();
$conn->modify_system($object, 'name', $name, $token)->result();
$conn->modify_system($object, 'hostname', $name, $token)->result();
$conn->save_system($object, $token)->result();
$conn->sync($token)->result();
