Running the following on the proxy server fails with the exception below (swauth is the super_admin password):

$swauth-add-user -A https://127.0.0.1:8080/auth/ -K swauth -a system root testpass

exception:

Any idea what's wrong?

Guys,

I am having a similar problem here. However I can't seem to execute any swift command successfully. I have 1 proxy, 3 storage nodes that use two disks each. When I execute:

swauth-add-user -A https://localhost/auth/ -K test_a test_u testpass

I get from the CLI:

Account creation failed: 500 Server Error User creation failed: 500 Server Error

and the storage PROXY node says:

If I remember correctly, this usually indicates a problem when the account was created. You may want to try creating the account again.

The account was created as part of swauth-prep.... so, presumably it should have been created correctly?

Folks from swauth, any idea on where this header is being set?

Ah sorry, I meant try doing a swauth-add-account before doing the swauth-add-user. I'm just guessing that maybe swauth-add-user thinks the account exists, but it only got half created or something.

To answer your other quest, the only place that header is set is in "handle_put_account" which is a PUT /auth/v2/<account> call (either by swauth-add-account or swauth-add-user).

In my case, it ended up that the swift cluster wasn't 100% configured correctly (forget the details, but the ports/services/ip addresses in the ring and in the actual deployment didn't agree). So a) check that.

another approach that helped was to remove swauth from the proxy config, and exercise the cluster using curl (see http://docs.openstack.org/cactus/openstack-object-storage/developer/content/ch_object-storage-dev-troubleshooting.html (http://docs.openstack.org/cactus/open...) )

Once I was able to reliably create accounts containers and files, I turned authentication back on, and things seemed much happier.

To remove authentication, edit proxy.conf and replace the line: pipeline = healthcheck cache swauth proxy-server

with: pipeline = healthcheck cache proxy-server

hope this helps.

Hi there, thanks for your input. I tried to upload a storage object after having disabled swauth. I played with the system a bit and everything seemed fine. Then I put swauth back but still same result...I couldn't create/deleet account etc.

Is there anything else I could look into?

Many thanks!

Sorry for resurrecting a very old issue, but I experienced precisely the same issue on a fresh deployment of Swift 1.7.4 (where tempauth and upload/download operations were working prior to plugging in swauth).

The initial requests to create the account were failing as the request body was not being set due to a change in webob 1.2.

I was able to resolve by downgrading webob from 1.2.x down to 1.1.1 via pip install -Iv webob==1.1.1.

Good news: commit 5e3e9a8, just merged today, removes Swift's dependency on webob. It's not in any released version yet, but an end to the pain is on the way.
