Marketplace driver wont load, opennebula service wont start, system down

We are using community version of 7.0 in a POC environment. Today something went off on the "tokens” and based on what I dug up the serveradmin pwd needed to be updated and I did (updated the sha/hash local file and db).
If you’re curious where I was at before the current issue:

oneadmin@vh207:~$ oneuser show 0 -x
[one.user.info] User couldn’t be authenticated, aborting call.

I couldn’t do anything. Even a simple onevm list would give same issue. Couldn’t reset using oneuser passwd 0 or 1, got same error.

I shut down all the services, adjusted things and then tried to bring things back up and received the followed errors.

I tried to comment out all the marketplace configs in oned.conf and restart but get the similar error.

Any thoughts on how to resolve?

This is an error with the onadmin user, not the serveradmin user. Basically, the API Calls that the CLI commands issue, are authenticated using the credentials stored at /var/lib/one/.one/one_auth. If these do not match the credentials stored in the database, then you get these auth errors, because it is effectively inputting a wrong password.

When you issue the command oneuser passwd you are also issuing an API Call that needs to be authenticated as well. You have two options

  • update the oneadmin password at /var/lib/one/.one/one_auth to match the oneadmin password in the DB
  • update the password hash in the DB to match the password in the text file
