How to get the RHEL binary using the provided XMLRPC library - HTTP Response '401 Authorization Required'
Hi,
I'm trying to get the rpm binary on my subscribed RHEL-6-Server machine using the XMLRPC calls to the URL "https://xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/XMLRPC".
I did the following :
- Generated the systemid file after running the command
rhn_register
- Using the up2date.login call, I logged-in using my rhn account (/etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid file).
The corresponding HTTP Request-Response exchange is : --- request --- POST https://xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/XMLRPC Content-Type: application/json-- response -- 200 OK Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2015 06:30:39 GMT Server: Apache Content-Language: en; C Content-Length: 903 X-RHN-Server-Capability: registration.finish_message(1)=1, registration.remaining_subscriptions(1)=1, applet.has_base_channel(1)=1, registration.smbios(1)=1, registration.extended_update_support(1)=1, rhncfg.filetype.directory(1)=1, rhncfg.content.base64_decode(1)=1, registration.register_osad(1)=1, registration.delta_packages(1)=1, xmlrpc.packages.extended_profile(1)=1, xmlrpc.packages.checksums(1)=1, xmlrpc.login.extra_data(1)=1 X-RHN-Server-Id: 1000010000 X-RHN-Proxy-Version: 0 X-RHN-Auth-Server-Time: 1435041039.43 X-RHN-Client-Version: 0 X-Transport-Info: Extended Capabilities Transport (C) Red Hat, Inc (version $Revision$) X-RHN-Auth-Channels: rhel-x86_64-server-6:20150622101926:1:1 X-RHN-Action: login X-RHN-Auth: *** Hidden Contents *** X-RHN-Auth-Expire-Offset: 3600.0 Content-Type: text/xml X-Cache: MISS from web-server X-Cache-Lookup: MISS from web-server:3128 Proxy-Connection: keep-alive up2date.login **** System ID File Content **** X-RHN-Server-Id 1000010000 X-RHN-Auth-Server-Time 1435041039.43 X-RHN-Auth-Channels rhel-x86_64-server-6 20150622101926 1 1 X-RHN-Auth rc+-Hidden Contents->Q== X-RHN-Auth-User-Id X-RHN-Auth-Expire-Offset 3600.0
- With these attained credentials, am attempting to list all the packages for that channel. But, it gives a 401 Authorization Required HTTP Response.
The corresponding exchange is as follows : --- request --- GET https://xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/XMLRPC/$RHN/rhel-x86_64-server-6/listPackages X-RHN-Client-Version: 2 X-RHN-Server-Id: 1000010000 X-RHN-Auth-Server-Time: 1435041039.43 X-RHN-Auth: rc+-Hidden Contents->Q== X-RHN-Auth-User-Id: X-RHN-Auth-Channels: [['rhel-x86_64-server-6', '20150622101926', '1', '1']] X-RHN-Auth-Expire-Offset: 3600.0 -- response -- 401 Unauthorized Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2015 07:17:03 GMT Server: Apache X-RHN-Fault-Code: -33 X-RHN-Fault-String: CkVycm9yIE1lc3NhZ2U6CiAgICBJbnZhbGlkIGNsaWVudCBzZXNzaW9uIGtleQpFcnJvciBDbGFz, cyBDb2RlOiAzMwpFcnJvciBDbGFzcyBJbmZvOiBDbGllbnQgc2Vzc2lvbiB0b2tlbiBpcyBpbnZh, bGlkLgpFeHBsYW5hdGlvbjogCiAgICAgQW4gZXJyb3IgaGFzIG9jY3VycmVkIHdoaWxlIHByb2Nl, c3NpbmcgeW91ciByZXF1ZXN0LiBJZiB0aGlzIHByb2JsZW0KICAgICBwZXJzaXN0cyBwbGVhc2Ug, ZW50ZXIgYSBidWcgcmVwb3J0IGF0IGJ1Z3ppbGxhLnJlZGhhdC5jb20uCiAgICAgSWYgeW91IGNo, b29zZSB0byBzdWJtaXQgdGhlIGJ1ZyByZXBvcnQsIHBsZWFzZSBiZSBzdXJlIHRvIGluY2x1ZGUK, ICAgICBkZXRhaWxzIG9mIHdoYXQgeW91IHdlcmUgdHJ5aW5nIHRvIGRvIHdoZW4gdGhpcyBlcnJv, ciBvY2N1cnJlZCBhbmQKICAgICBkZXRhaWxzIG9uIGhvdyB0byByZXByb2R1Y2UgdGhpcyBwcm9i, bGVtLgo= X-RHN-Proxy-Version: 0 X-RHN-Client-Version: 2 Content-Length: 472 Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 X-Cache: MISS from web-server X-Cache-Lookup: MISS from web-server:3128 Proxy-Connection: keep-alive401 Authorization Required Authorization Required

Am I missing something? Can someone please help me out?
Also, share any documentation regarding the APIs used.
