Description Erik Damrose univentionstaff 2019-04-29 14:06:18 CEST
Users can enter an email address in system setup to request a license - this request will be sent at the end of our setup. An ISV reported it as being broken.

The request is done in /usr/lib/univention-system-setup/cleanup-post.d/08_activate_license from package univention-system-setup by calling umcp udm/request_new_license.

However, we block umc access in app appliances at the end of the setup, in /usr/lib/univention-system-setup/appliance-hooks.d/96_enable_system_activation from package univention-system-activation.

The UMC access is blocked to early, and the umcp request does not work; from setup.log:

I see several solutions:
* whitelist the license request; u-system-activation already whitelists some requests, see conffiles/etc/apache2/sites-available/univention-system-activation.conf.
* Move the license request to an earlier point in the setup process
* Move the u-app-activation script to a later point in the setup process

This is also a problem in normal ucs appliances.

The setup log has the same error message, but I also get this error in management-console-server.log:

Es wird der Maschinenaccount genutzt, nicht __systemsetup__.

Siehe auch base/univention-system-setup/usr/lib/univention-system-setup/cleanup-post.d/08_activate_license
Comment 5 Florian Best univentionstaff 2019-06-25 12:43:01 CEST
Okay, then, let's see what permissions the machine account has?:

# eval "$(ucr shell)"
# umc-acls show -u "$hostname\$"
Username: master100$

→ None?!
Comment 6 Florian Best univentionstaff 2019-06-25 13:10:45 CEST
I analyzed this, and it is a regression from Bug #47880.
Because now all flavors have a <requiredCommand> and therefore the module is forbidden for the user because the DC Master only has permissions for udm/request_new_license.
Somehow even if the request doesn't specify a flavor the ACL evaluation doesn't consider this.

Could you test this patch? For me it works. But didn't run system-setup.

What I tested:
Installed from the latest test dvd with email -> License was requested and send -> OK
The new flavor does not show up as a module -> OK
jenkins -> OK
YAML -> OK

I added a test:

-> Verified
