Adding rhn channels via ansible

[Chris Bidwell - NOAA Federal]

Hey all,

How's it going?

So I'm trying to create a playbook that will add rhn-channels to servers based on both Server/Workstation.  

Here's my pb:

---

- name: Register RHN Channel

  hosts: GONG

  become: yes

  vars_files:

    - passwd.yml

    - vars.yml

  vars:

    ansible: "{{ ansible_distribution }}"

  tasks:

    - name: Workstation or Server?

      shell: cat /etc/redhat-release | awk '{print $5}'

      register: rh_type

      tags: name

    - name: "Check if {{ ansible_hostname }} is already registered and given server"

      rhn_channel:

        name: rhel-x86_64-server-optional-7

        sysname: ansible_hostname

        user: rh_user

        password: rh_pass

        url: http://server.name.com/XMLRPC

      when: rh_type.stdout == 'Server'

    - name: "Check if {{ ansible_hostname }} is already registered and given workstation"

      rhn_channel:

        name: rhel-x86_64-workstation-optional-7

        sysname: ansible_hostname

        user: rh_user

        password: rh_pass

        url: http://server.name.com/XMLRPC

      when: rh_type.stdout == 'Workstation'

    - debug:

        var: ansible_hostname

      tags: name

Erroring out with this:

fatal: [dev-gong-proc1-lx]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "module_stderr": "Shared connection to dev-gong-proc1-lx closed.\r\n", "module_stdout": "\r\nTraceback (most recent call last):\r\n  File \"/home/tsg/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1545238985.06-63865196201679/AnsiballZ_rhn_channel.py\", line 113, in <module>\r\n    _ansiballz_main()\r\n  File \"/home/tsg/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1545238985.06-63865196201679/AnsiballZ_rhn_channel.py\", line 105, in _ansiballz_main\r\n    invoke_module(zipped_mod, temp_path, ANSIBALLZ_PARAMS)\r\n  File \"/home/tsg/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1545238985.06-63865196201679/AnsiballZ_rhn_channel.py\", line 48, in invoke_module\r\n    imp.load_module('__main__', mod, module, MOD_DESC)\r\n  File \"/tmp/ansible_rhn_channel_payload_3Kfo9x/__main__.py\", line 145, in <module>\r\n  File \"/tmp/ansible_rhn_channel_payload_3Kfo9x/__main__.py\", line 118, in main\r\n  File \"/usr/lib64/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py\", line 1233, in __call__\r\n    return self.__send(self.__name, args)\r\n  File \"/usr/lib64/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py\", line 1591, in __request\r\n    verbose=self.__verbose\r\n  File \"/usr/lib64/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py\", line 1273, in request\r\n    return self.single_request(host, handler, request_body, verbose)\r\n  File \"/usr/lib64/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py\", line 1306, in single_request\r\n    return self.parse_response(response)\r\n  File \"/usr/lib64/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py\", line 1482, in parse_response\r\n    return u.close()\r\n  File \"/usr/lib64/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py\", line 794, in close\r\n    raise Fault(**self._stack[0])\r\nxmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault -1: \"While running 'auth.login': caught\\n<class 'spacewalk.server.apacheRequest.UnknownXML'> : Invalid request received (class xmlrpc.auth is not defined (function = login)).\\n\">\r\n", "msg": "MODULE FAILURE\nSee stdout/stderr for the exact error", "rc": 1}

I'm pretty sure it's got something to do with the:  url: http://server.name.com/XMLRPC piece.  How do I know what that URL is really supposed to be?

Thanks!
