[pca] 401 Unauthorized

[Pierre-Yves.Thillier at infineon.com]

Hi,

>From the Oracle site, I was able to download all the patchs I tried : 119254-78, 125555-08, 119315-22, 111252-31 ....
But with the simple wget command as given below this does not work (but that was working one week ago with my "sunsolve" account...)...:

/opt/csw/bin/wget --http-user='pierre-yves.thillier at infineon.com' --http-passwd='xxxxxx' --no-check-certificate --execute https_proxy=http://proxy1.muc.infineon.com:81 https://getupdates.oracle.com/all_unsigned/119254-78.zip -O 119254-78.zip
--2010-12-15 17:23:27--  https://getupdates.oracle.com/all_unsigned/119254-78.zip
Resolving proxy1.muc.infineon.com... 172.23.16.155
Connecting to proxy1.muc.infineon.com|172.23.16.155|:81... connected.
Proxy request sent, awaiting response... 401 Unauthorized

Maybe this is a dumb question, but could it be possible that my MOS account is either too long or contains a "bad character" ? this is "pierre-yves.thillier at infineon.com"
To be honest, I've no idea where to investigate ...

Bye,
Pierre-Yves

One caveat:  make sure, after you successfully download 119254-78, that you test another patch.  The reason I say that is because I was able to download 119254-78 and 125555-08 but was not able to download any other.  3 others on the list had the same experience.  So, being able to download 119254-78 is necessary but not sufficient proof [falling back to my math days] that everything is working.  I still had to configure my MOS account settings to get everything ship shape.

Have you tested both before and after the last weekend, where the transition
happenend? There were reports from people who said that it worked before 10-12th
Dec, but failed after.

Looks fine.

Let's try a direct download with wget, outside of PCA to isolate the problem.
Try a command like this (with your real MOS user/passwd of course):

/opt/csw/bin/wget --http-user='user at domain.org' --http-passwd='secret'
--no-check-certificate --execute
https_proxy=http://proxyconf.vlb.infineon.com:81
https://getupdates.oracle.com/all_unsigned/119254-78.zip -O 119254-78.zip

If that doesn't work, the problem is outside of PCA (wget or Oracle). If it does
work we'll concentrate on your PCA setup - at first double-check that you set
user and passwd correctly; for a beginning, try to not specify them in a
pca.conf file or on the command line but let PCA ask for it instead.

If possible, you might want to install the most recent wget patch (125215-03).
This should up /usr/sfw/bin/wget to v1.12. I don't think that this is the reason
for the problems, though - I've tested various versions of wget with Oracle's
server, and found no problems. Plus, currently PCA is using this one anyway:

> Found /opt/csw/bin/wget (1.11, 11100, https)
> Using /opt/csw/bin/wget

This will change automatically when /usr/sfw/bin/wget has higher version.
