External AUTH Providers - Can't Save configuration form without changing the dropdown about awx HOT 17 CLOSED

Thanks for filing this issue!

I'm in the middle of investigating this and haven't completely figured it out, but I believe enabling the save button should be a simple fix (we're referencing a javascript value to disable the button, that seems to be undefined).

The issue is present downstream (i.e.: Tower), so I'll be fixing it there and it should be picked up when we merge that code back into AWX.

Thanks for the update and I'll be looking forward for the fix.

only saves if you choose another option from the drop down then it will ask "save changes?" besides that I get it greyed out also.

from awx.

In the awx/sso/backends.py there are checks for those features to be enabled.
if not feature_enabled('ldap'):

In tower, you need a license to active those features. I didn't think that'd be needed for AWX?

from awx.

The StubLicense should enable those authentication types. Check to see whether you can save those settings via the API (e.g. /api/v2/settings/radius/).

from awx.

Yes looks good via the API.

Also, when on the LDAP page, if I fill out the form, and then hit cancel you get the modal popup to confirm discarding the settings. The "Save Changes" button is enabled and green. If I hit "Save Changes" there, it works and settings are saved.

I am having issues with LDAP, most likey the LDAP settings, but where is the LDAP debug/logging now? Is it in the same spot as Tower?

from awx.

I am seeing this error in the Dev console when I go to the LDAP settings page.

from awx.

A slightly different but related issue...

If you try to edit a setting (in my case in LDAP) the save button does not get enabled (as expected with the current bug...) However, if you try the workarounds such as hitting cancel or going to a different option you are not prompted with a discard or save changes popup as you are during initial configuration. At this point it seems impossible to update a configuration

from awx.

I've just experienced that same thing. My initial config saved (with the 'work around'), however my LDAP isn't working so I wanted to make changes. I don't get any modal's now or anyway to save it just like you saw.

from awx.

Here is an error I am seeing in the logs... Not sure if its related:

Were those logs in the awx_web container? What path?

from awx.

Yes, this was from awx_web... Here is an entire log segment

@hiddenicon and just a heads up, if this is blocking you, you can most likely get around the disabled button issue by opening up the chrome debugger (just right click and "inspect the element" on the greyed-out save button...make sure you have dev tools enabled).

Then you can delete this disabled key and it should turn green (and be clickable):

from awx.

yes that workaround works editing it in the DOM. I was able to save changes as well. Now if I can get LDAP working. Do you know where LDAP logs to now? Different than Tower I assume. Sorry for being off-topic.

@jlmitch5 Any idea when this fix will be available?

Thanks!

UPDATE: This save button seems to be fixed in the latest code. I rebuilt tower and the save button seems to work as the settings are saved and retrievable.

However, I'm not certain that the changes are applied. As a test I created a new organization and a new team in LDAP and changed the LDAP config to show this. The changes save but the new organization and team do not appear in either the team or organization tabs...

UPDATE 2: I guess I didn't wait long enough. Both organization and team appeared after several minutes... This issues seems to be fixed.

Excellent, closing.
