Foreman_scap_client installation error

Support
#1

Foreman and Proxy versions: Foreman 3.5 + Katello 4.7

Hello,

When I try to run the ansible roles which in my case includes the foreman scap client, I’ve got this on RH6 clients (and only on RH clients, its working on RH7 / RH8 and even CentOS 7/8)

TASK [theforeman.foreman_scap_client : Install the foreman_scap_client package] ***
136:
fatal: [XXXXXX]: FAILED! => {“changed”: false, “msg”: “Error: Module unable to decode valid JSON on stdin. Unable to figure out what parameters were passed”}

Can you help me to make it working please ?

Regards

Are you running Foreman on EL8, more specifically EL 8.7+ which brings ansible-core 2.14? I’m afraid that doesn’t support EL6 clients anymore.

#3

Hello, Yes you are right but I laready downgraded to ansible-core ansible-core-2.12.2-4.el8_6.x86_64.
Is this not enough to solve this issue ?

Regards

#4

That should be sufficient.

Do you have any external smart proxies that could also be used for Ansible execution?

#5

No external proxy neither

#6

With the downgrade and any other proxy still the same issue

#7

Very strange because from the same foreman server (with the downgrade I mentionned above) it’s working fine to install the scap-client on a CentOS 6 client, but I’ve got this error on a RH6 client.

Any other idea ?

Regards
