Description

From time to time the openQA user gets blocked in gitlab.
This happend last time on 2018-10-25. We suspect that it could be caused if the backend authentication infrastructure (aka LDAP) is not available while a login-attempt is made.
It can be resolved by a manual login into the webui (creds at https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/scripts/blob/master/password).

Gitlab supports deployment tokens (read as well as write is possible): https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/deploy_tokens/
Maybe they work a little bit different and could solve our problem -> Needs to be tried out

An alternative solution to at least notice such issues is of course monitoring again.

Alright since the user got disabled once again it is time to do this now.

Current situation:

  • There is a separate gitlab user for openQA called "openqa-pusher".
  • This account has an ssh-key attached (2048 SHA256:WLfyo/WGDxFVrYmzfud65MN3pwUyLbApaHehzkUlJck wwwrun@autoinst (RSA))
  • This key can't be used as deployment key

What I did now:

Host gitlab.suse.de
  HostName gitlab.suse.de
  User gitlab
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa.gitlab
  IdentitiesOnly yes

To test this I simply tried to ssh into that host:

geekotest@openqa:~/.ssh> ssh gitlab.suse.de
PTY allocation request failed on channel 0
Welcome to GitLab, @nicksinger!
Connection to gitlab.suse.de closed.

-> works

Other repos where the key needs to be added:

find /var/lib/openqa/share/tests -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type d

/var/lib/openqa/share/tests/vmdp
/var/lib/openqa/share/tests/sle-12.pre_oado#920
/var/lib/openqa/share/tests/sle
/var/lib/openqa/share/tests/dont_use.sle-11-sp3

Currently the openqa-pusher account seems blocked in gitlab again but can pull/push its changes:

Fetching origin
HEAD is now at 4e44fdf Merge branch 'smart_next_number' into 'master'

So for now I assume that this actually worked exactly how I imagined it :)
