Invalid S3_URL and EC2_URL in eucarc

[Etienne Goyer]

On karmic using Eucalyptus 1.6~bzr672-0ubuntu3, when you use "euca_conf --get-credentials cred.zip" to retrieve the certificate bundle on the frontend, the eucarc file contains the following declaration:

export S3_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8773/services/Walrus
export EC2_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8773/services/Eucalyptus

Once you login to the web UI, change the admin password and confirm the Cloud controller IP, you can redoanload the certificate bundle and the eucarc file contains appropriate URL.

These values are ok if you are using the certificate bundle on the frontend machine, but not if you transfer it to a client machine. At the very least, this is confusing.

Confirmed, Medium.

Etienne also reported Bug #429631, which deals with another case where the S3_URL is broken.

The code that generates this needs to be fixed to perhaps refuse to server the certificate bundle until it is sufficiently configured to do so.

Dan says that this is fix committed upstream.

We need to pull this fix into Karmic.

This issue was addressed in Eucalytpus revno 768, and as such should already be in latest karmic package (854)
