create_remote_storage.php cannot start a session for a partner

[wzur]

Hi @jessp01

Based on issue #333 I wanted to automate creation of content delivery profile and storage profile. However when I tried to use "create_remote_storage.php" from kaltura-postinst-1.0.30-10.noarch it didn't work for me. We have Kaltura CE 11.5.0.

I can only see this in logs

2016-01-29 14:55:34 [0.000955] [10.74.10.65] [1385664611] [16] [API] [kSessionUtils::startKSession] INFO: Checking partner '101' with Secret 'c31exxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxaaa' 2016-01-29 14:55:34 [0.000600] [10.74.10.65] [1385664611] [17] [API] [KalturaFrontController->getExceptionObject] ERR: exception 'KalturaAPIException' with message 'Error while starting session for partner [101]' in /opt/kaltura/app/api_v3/services/SessionService.php:51 Stack trace:

0 [internal function]: SessionService->startAction('c31ed2a8c633cdd...', '', 2, 101, 86400, '')

The first entry ('Checking...') I added myself to find out what was going on.

It looks to me that code tries to authenticate as a partner for which profiles should be created, but with admin console admin_secret.

Please advise, Waldemar

Hi @wzur,

The script requires the admin secret of partner -2, not of the partner you wish to create the remote storage for. This is because such an action must be done by the admin console partner [-2]. So, you need to pass along the partner ID you wish to create it for, probably 101 in your case, but the admin secret for -2, usage also states that: Usage:/opt/kaltura/bin/create_remote_storage.php ...

Let me know if after doing so you're still having issues.

Thanks,

[wzur]

Hi Jess,

That was exactly how I executed that script, with partner ID (101 indeed) and partner -2 secret and for some reason Kaltura server tried authenticate partner 101 with partner -2 secret.

Hi Waldemar,

Looking at the trace you attached, I see: SessionService->startAction('c31ed2a8c633cdd...', '', 2, 101, 86400, '')

but the script never tries to do a session->start() with any partner other than -2, at least not the version I'm looking at:

grep start /opt/kaltura/bin/create_remote_storage.php

    $ks = $client->session->start($secret, null, KalturaSessionType::ADMIN, -2, null,null);

Which is also what's available from https://github.com/kaltura/platform-install-packages/blob/Kajam-11.8.0/RPM/scripts/postinst/create_remote_storage.php

So, I think it is possible that this log entry you're seeing is unrelated.. In your version of the script, do you see any other call to session->start()?

I'm using exactly the same script. Below are results of the execution. I'm 100% I'm using correct admin's admin secret - I've just copy and pasted it from MySQL database. (using select admin_secret from partner where id = -2;)

Yep. I am able to reproduce it. Have not run this script for a while.. give me a few minutes to look into:)

May the source be with you,
