Cannont authenticate clients using only ssl certificate

[davisj]

Both client and server are v1.3.3.

Clients receive "Unauthorized (401)" errors when trying to authenticate using only certificates.

The output on the server states...

No authentication data presented

Which comes from Bcfg2.SSLServer.XMLRPCRequestHandler.authenticate
Where it is looking for an "Authorization" header which the client does not appear to be providing.

Here's the clients [communication] section from bcfg2.conf

[communication]
authentication = cert
protocol = xmlrpc/ssl
certificate = /etc/pki/tls/certs/bcfg2client.crt
key = /etc/pki/tls/private/bcfg2client.key
ca = /etc/pki/tls/certs/bcfg2ca.crt

There is no entry for the client in clients.xml as we're using...

[metadata]
use_database = True

Cert authentication does work when we provide a clients.xml record and specify auth='cert'.

It seems that a password must be configured, on the client
Just add a dummy password = under the communication section
