adding RHEV manager to CloudForms authentication failure
Hi,
I am testing RHEVM and connecting it to CloudForms, but so far no luck.
I have added all the info regarding my RHEVM portal, host name IP number etc and used the port 443 (browsing to https://rhevm/api and https://rhevm/overt-engine/api give me back some api'ish looking XML.
But when I put my admin credentials for the RHEVM portal in, it says 401 unauthorized and there I am stuck...
any help please??? this is the last step of what has been a long week of setting up the whole rhevm environment and templates etc etc and aggravating to be so close and not quite there.
Thanks!
Bill

Hi Bill,
What user name did you use to authenticate the Manager in the CloudForms appliance?
One issue I have run into myself in the past is that you have to enter the full name and domain of the admin user to authenticate correctly. That is, 'admin@internal' instead of 'admin'.
Let me know if that works or if you have already given it a try and still run into issues!
Kind regards,
Andrew
If you want to add C & U colector do you need create a user on database locate on manager. example:
su - postgres
psql
CREATE ROLE cfme LOGIN UNENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'passwd' SUPERUSER VALID UNTIL 'infinity'; \q ref.: https://access.redhat.com/articles/312153.
Good luck!
