Background scheduler credentials bug

[belteguese0]

Hi, I use 4.8-pre release and when I try to set Background Scheduler Credential here https://github.com/fireeye/HXTool/wiki/Background-Scheduler-Credentials the web UI raises an Internal Server Error Page.

ERROR:

2022-03-18 16:57:13,832] {app} {Thread-16441} ERROR - Exception on /settings [POST]

Traceback (most recent call last):

  old = termios.tcgetattr(fd)   # a copy to save

termios.error: (25, 'Inappropriate ioctl for device')

 

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Hi @belteguese0 - Which version of keyring are you using?

Thanks, Elazar

[belteguese0]

Hi @B0fH, this version:

root@XXXXX:~# pip list| grep keyring keyring 17.1.1 keyrings.alt 3.1.1

Which are the steps to configure keyring? It's possible that is not properly configured as hxtool expected.

Thanks Emanuele

Hi @belteguese0 - The issue here is that you have HXTool deployed on a headless Linux system - which is fine - however, keyring is falling back to a file based keystore which it's prompting for a password. Kindly see https://keyring.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#using-keyring-on-headless-linux-systems for solution.

Thanks, Elazar
