auth token does not exist?

[dontommy]

Hey
Just found this script today.
Put it in my username and api key for rackspace in the config file.

But I keep getting an "Auth Token Does Not Exist" ?

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Hello,

What country are you in?

i.e. by default the script tries the USA servers, there is a config entry to auth against the UK.

I hope that helps!
Kind regards,
Nick

Hey
Im in Denmark, but yes my cloud servers are in the uk with rackspace.

My config file looks like this:

RSUSER=myrackspaceusername
RSAPIKEY=myrackspaceapikey
RSPATH=/root/rsdns/
UKAUTH=1

So it is set to use the UK servers right?

And if I edit the RSUSER and RSAPIKEY - its says Authentication Failed.
So the username and api key must be correct

Note to self - could be same as #18

I think the problem is in "auth.sh". I ran the curl manually which fetches an authentication token:

curl -s -X GET -D - -H X-Auth-User:\ XXX-MY-USERNAME-XXX -H X-Auth-Key:\ 112233445566778899 https://auth.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0 \
 | tr -s '[:cntrl:]' "\n" \
 | awk '{ if ($1 == "HTTP/1.1") printf "%s,", $2 ; if ($1 == "X-Auth-Token:") printf "%s,", $2 ; if ($1 == "X-Server-Management-Url:") printf "%s,", $2 ;}'

The result was this:
204,42XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXd6,

Note the comma at the end, with no value in the 'third' position of this string. It turns out this third position should have been the url for "X-Server-Management-Url", but it doesn't look like the Rackspace API returns this anymore... at least, according to this:
flexera-public/rightscale_cookbooks#156

Thank you @erh-git do you want to submit a pull request?

I am a bit confused to why my two test devices haven't seen this issue... anyway... @dontommy are you able to test this?

[erh-git]

Not going to lie, I'm brand new to github, and have little idea of what you
are asking for ;). I'm actually pretty new to scripting in general, so if
you were hoping I could update the code or write a patch or anything like
that, I'm afraid I wouldn't quite consider myself up to the task :(.

Hello @erh-git ,

A pull request is not as scary as it sounds, if you're looking to learn something new, this is a easy opportunity 😄

• At the top of this page, click Fork (this will copy rsdns into your git hub)
• From your copy of rsdns, click the Branch button, in the drop down type something like Auth-Fix-19 and click the create branch thing that appears in the drop down
• Github, will automatically select the new branch for you, browse to the file, in the top right corner next to Raw/Blame/History is a little pencil, click that to open the editor and make the change you suggested in this issue.
• when done complete the commit form at the bottom, the smaller-thin text box is the subject, like fix auth issue 19, the larger-fat text box is for longer descriptions.
• click commit
• back on your rsdns homepage you'll see a new button has appeared Compare and Pull Request (click it)
• On the pull request form give it subject like fix auth issue 19 and click create pull request

I will then receive notification and the opportunity to import the branch from your copy of github and merge with my original code.

Honestly, all of this is cosmetic, I could just edit the file myself and put your name in the comment, however this way is better as there is a permanent record of your contribution.

If you're not interested in the above, that's fine with me 👍 and I'll do it at the weekend... although I'd prefer it if @dontommy or another user confirmed the fix first.

Great write up. I think I would absolutely be able to follow it, but I'm
afraid all I did was point out what seems to be the problem... fixing it is
an entirely different issue (and quite possibly outside of my talent
level). I'm sorry I couldn't help any more :( If you're simply concerned
about credit, I'm completely ok not getting any, I just would love to be
able to use rsdns again ;).

Hello,

I have started work on v2 compatibility, there's a new branch v2api you can download the latest code as a zip.

The change is in auth.sh, testing so far is just that rsdns list still works.... and it does for me. 😄

The first draft commit has introduced a new dependency jq which appears to be available in homebrew, epel & ubuntu so I think I'm fairly safe in terms of interoperability. I'm hoping that I can use this to improve some of the other code.

cheers,
Nick
