Ceph » mgr » Dashboard

We are using 16.2.1 on Debian buster directly from https://download.ceph.com/debian-pacific/ .

We just enabled the dashboard on our test installation to validate.
When we tried to enable ssl the cli failed to store the file content after trying to decode an already decoded string.

1. ceph dashboard set-ssl-certificate -i fullchain.crt
   Error EINVAL: Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/share/ceph/mgr/mgr_module.py", line 1337, in _handle_command
   return CLICommand.COMMANDS[cmd['prefix']].call(self, cmd, inbuf)
   File "/usr/share/ceph/mgr/mgr_module.py", line 389, in call
   return self.func(mgr, **kwargs)
   File "/usr/share/ceph/mgr/dashboard/module.py", line 372, in set_ssl_certificate
   self.set_store('crt', inbuf.decode())
   AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'

1. ceph dashboard set-ssl-certificate-key -i privatekey.key
   Error EINVAL: Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/share/ceph/mgr/mgr_module.py", line 1337, in _handle_command
   return CLICommand.COMMANDS[cmd['prefix']].call(self, cmd, inbuf)
   File "/usr/share/ceph/mgr/mgr_module.py", line 389, in call
   return self.func(mgr, **kwargs)
   File "/usr/share/ceph/mgr/dashboard/module.py", line 385, in set_ssl_certificate_key
   self.set_store('key', inbuf.decode())
   AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'

Modifing "inbuf.decode()" to "inbuf" in the regarding lines allowed us then to load the certifikate & key and activate ssl.
