We work on a management software which has a GUI.This GUI starts with user authentication screen where in the user entered username and password are also sent to provider which is open pegasus CIM provider. This authentication works well on ubuntu 14.04 on normal set up but not on IBM power pc .We get an error "User unauthorized" for power PC. On RHEL also the authentication works fine.
Here is a cimserver trace which we captured. This is a snippet from normal(working) trace. ///////////////////////////// 444805839s-853867us: XmlIO [7036:18446744073709551614:HTTPConnection.cpp:932]: <!-- Response: queue id: 21 --> HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Type: application/xml; charset=utf-8 transfer-encoding: chunked Ext: Cache-Control: no-cache Man: http://www.dmtf.org/cim/mapping/http/v1.0; ns=27 27-CIMOperation: MethodResponse <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <CIM CIMVERSION="2.0" DTDVERSION="2.0"> <MESSAGE ID="927002" PROTOCOLVERSION="1.0"> <SIMPLERSP> <IMETHODRESPONSE NAME="EnumerateInstances"> </IMETHODRESPONSE> </SIMPLERSP> </MESSAGE> </CIM> /////////////////////////// But in IBM system trace shows error for http response status as well as CIM method response.

We need to know if this call is different for IBM power pc systems or if this is a known issue.Please advice -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1519311 Title: authentication fails on ubuntu on remote login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1519311/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
