<div>Hi Daryl,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>please, just to be sure. Tell, in which logfile you find the error and past the error you get. You say, that you have the problem with osa-dispatcher? This is on the server.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So what do you get, when you restart the spacewalk services "spacewalk-service restart"? Does the osa-dispatcher start correctly?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Regards,</div>
<div>Robert</div>

<p>I just realized that I've been saying that I am having an issue with osad, when I should be saying that I am having an issue with osa-dispatcher.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It just suddenly occurred to me that osad is the process that runs on the client, while osa-dispatcher is running on the server. This what is causing my "Invalid Password" error.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thank you.</p>

<div>Did you change the hostname manually? Usually that's the problem.</div>

<p>Thank you for the information. However, I am confused by a few things.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The error that I am seeing is on the spacewalk server itself, not on the clients. isn't /etc/sysconfig/rhn/osad-auth.conf only on the clients? OSAD is failing to start on the server with the invalid password error. Do I need to remove and recreate the osad-auth.conf file on all of the clients?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thank you.</p>

<div><font size="2"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Robert is correct. I've had similar issues with osad, and so created a simple Ansible playbook to delete osad-auth.conf against all of my nodes. If you're running Ansible, here it is:<br/>
<br/>
---<br/>
<br/>
- hosts: all<br/>
gather_facts: false<br/>
become: yes<br/>
<br/>
tasks:<br/>
- name: stop osad<br/>
command: /sbin/service osad stop<br/>
- name: remove osad auth file<br/>
command: /bin/rm -f /etc/sysconfig/rhn/osad-auth.conf<br/>
- name: start osad<br/>
command: /sbin/service osad start<br/>

<br/>
You should have configuration files for osad in /etc/sysconfig/rhn. An osad.conf and osad-auth.conf.<br/>
<br/>
I think, if you remove the osad-auth.conf file and restart osad, it should re-register. I think!<br/>
<br/>

I used to stop SW, cd to /var/lib/jabberd/db and remove the entire contents then restart SW. But, I started experience problems with OSAD not picking up packages, and after so research, I learned that the way that I used to do things was not a good idea.<br/>
