[ ] Feature request
[x] Bug report
[ ] Documentation

Environment

  • Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
  • Django 1.11
  • Python version: 3.6.5
  • NetBox version: 2.3.4

Description

First, many thanks because this is an awesome project, nothing I could desire is missing from it!

Anyway. I have a small issue.

I just installed netbox on a newly Ubuntu 18.04 LTS virtual machine, following the guide on https://netbox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/, and everything has gone well, even the LDAP integration.

The problem arised testing the app (in Django terms) "secrets", particulary when I try to generate the first key, it does correctly and I save it on my pc. Then i confirm it pushing the red button "I have saved my new private key" and finally I clicked on "Save", the request arrives to my server (nginx->uwsgi but I tried also with the django integrated server with the same result), but it do not seems to save anything, indeed I haven't any "confirmation" about it. Browsing away and returning on my profile, I see the message "You don't have a user key on file.". So something went wrong with the saving of my key.

Anyway, nothing on the log files except the http requests:

"GET /user/password/ HTTP/1.1" 200 30603
"GET /user/user-key/ HTTP/1.1" 200 29068
"GET /user/user-key/edit/ HTTP/1.1" 200 31412
"GET /api/secrets/generate-rsa-key-pair/ HTTP/1.1" 200 2192
"POST /user/user-key/edit/ HTTP/1.1" 200 31870

Here we are. No erros but key not saved. No logs except this one.

Any help would be very appreciated.

netbox/users/views.py, class UserKeyEditView(View), method post (line 151):

def post(self, request): form = UserKeyForm(data=request.POST, instance=self.userkey) if form.is_valid(): uk = form.save(commit=False) uk.user = request.user uk.save() messages.success(request, "Your user key has been saved.") return redirect('user:userkey')

I noticed form.is_valid() returns False, so the next code is never executed.
I tried to print out form.errors and it showed this message:
__all__ Something went wrong while trying to save your key. Please ensure that you're uploading a valid RSA public key in PEM format (no SSH/PGP).

I tried to understand what is done by UserKeyForm on netbox/secrets/forms.py but I can't understand it. Can you help me? I tried with auto generated keys and also with RSA keys generated by me. No luck.

Solved. Totally my fault!

I had issues with pycryptodome on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (pycryptodome Version: 3.4.7-1ubuntu1) but on requirements.txt the minimum version is 3.4.11.

Trying to manually import the key resulted in:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "test.py", line 13, in <module> pubkey = RSA.import_key(data['public_key'][0]) AttributeError: module 'Crypto.PublicKey.RSA' has no attribute 'import_key'
