Certificate only authentication fails without a password

[xschlef]

Hi,

I tried to set up certificate only authentication. The problem I ran into was that bcfg2 seems to check for the authentication header in the request. This header is not present when no password is set in bcfg2.conf. I could fix this by setting a bogus password for the client.

class XMLRPCRequestHandler(SimpleXMLRPCServer.SimpleXMLRPCRequestHandler):
    ...
    def authenticate(self):
        try:
            header = self.headers['Authorization']
        except KeyError:
            self.logger.error("No authentication data presented")
            return False
    ...

Thanks
