I get that setting auth=no /etc/qpid/qpidd.conf is affecting qpid
configuration and not pulp.

lemme give a little more info on this pulp deploy...

This is a test deployment on my home gear that dates from early 2.x
pulp.  so not as old as my work deployment that is from the pre-2.0
releases.   pulp server is on CentOS6 (64bit).  it and test clients
openvz containers.  pulp 2.4.3 (whatever was latest over the weekend)

upgrade to 2.4 hit snags, couldn't get past this one:
Applying pulp_rpm.plugins.migrations version 16
Will not create a symlink to a non-existent source

and seeing all of the changes in 2.4 figured just start from scratch (it
is a test deployment).

so did the fresh install instructions for pulp.   given the setup,
having qpid auth off (and not veiryfing ssl for that matter -- If
someone can man-in-the-middle between two of my home openvz containers
I've got bigger issues than my test pulp deployment :) ) seemed easiest.

do I figured disable auth in qpid and they would then match.

seemed to go okay until I tried to issue a repo sync.

that failed and from some poking around seems like was a SASL issue.
that seeme doff to be since in theory I thought it was turned off on the
pulp and qpid sides...

I installed cyrus-sasl-plain and sure enough it started working.

So did I miss something in the docs or is that a missing package dep?

P.S. of course looks like pulp stable just went to 2.5.0, so maybe
something addressed in the new version?
