I just encountered this in precise MAAS, on brand new metal nodes which had dates sometime in 2011. Adding the NTP hack to the ephemeral image helped get around it. (Thanks for the recipe, Jeff! FYI, a public NTP server can work just as well, ntp.ubuntu.com in my case.)
Scott Moser: "Basically, if we fail by 403 unauthorized, we set a "skew" (skew = local_current_time - server_response_time) and future requests will have the oauth header time adjusted by that skew." Here's the problem though. From what I saw, the MAAS server was returning 401 because of the skewed oauth, not 403. I can provide tcpdump captures if desired. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to cloud-init in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/978127 Title: incorrect time on node causes failed oauth To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/978127/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
