    • Solved: Fog client cannot authenticate on CentOS 7.4

      Hello,

      Since I spent quite some time analyzing, testing and finding the solution to this problem, I think I should share with the community what I found.

      So following the Fog client Installation guide over here, I ended up with a client that was not working at all.

      The same problem was observed on ubuntu by someone else, but the solution there was not working for me. See: Linux client could not authenticate

      From the different forums entries, I could put together that the problem seems to be with the way mono handles the keystore. The most recent version of mono cannot fetch its own certificates in its keystore for some reason.

      The solution is not to simply reinstall the same version of mono + smartinstaller.exe as suggested everywhere, but to install an older version of mono. I personally chose version 3.12.1-0, following the success someone else had with a similar problem in the forums. Other mono versions could be tested with success as well I guess.

      So here are the code snippets:

      First we need to uninstall mono and smartinstaller.exe:

      sudo mono smartinstaller.exe uninstall
      cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
      sudo rm download.mono*
      sudo yum remove mono-complete
      sudo yum autoremove

      To install an older version of mono with yum, it’s tricky because of depedency problems showing up all over the place. This is what worked out for me:

      sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo http://download.mono-project.com/repo/centos7/
      sudo yum --setopt=obsoletes=0 install mono-complete-3.12.1-0
      sudo mono smartinstaller.exe

      The “–setopt=obsoletes=0” was critical to install the depedency packages properly. Yum would just not want to install some packages for some reason without it.

      You can find all the older mono versions available from the repo with the following command:

      sudo yum --show-duplicates list mono-complete

      So this little procedure solved my problems, I tested that I could schedule a reboot from the fog web gui through the client. The fog.log showed the connections were finally successful, although only one sync cycle out of two. Still, it seems sufficent for proper operation.

      Hope it helps someone!
