Docker App-Hosting App Not Installing

[Badger-Fi]

I am trying to install a Netbeez agent on a Catalyst 9300U running 17.09.04.  The switch has a DNA-Advantage license.  The IOx services are all running.  When I issue the install command, I do not get an error but when I check the status using "show app-hosting list" I get "No App found."

Here are the directions I am following:  https://netbeez.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360028594831-Cisco-Catalyst-NetBeez-App-Hosting-with-Docker-IOS-XE-16-12-17-x-

I have already worked with Netbeez and we are still stuck.  I have had this working before but not using Docker.

Can you post the relevant configuration? (show run | s App|app)

That should work. You are attempting to run this on a C9300-24U/C9300-48U? If so I can see if i can reproduce it in the lab.

[Badger-Fi]

I am attempting on a C9300-48U.  I have tried installing it straight to flash, usbflash0, and usbflash1.  All results were the same.

What version of the OCI/Docker image are you attempting to install?

[Badger-Fi]

I'm no Docker pro, but I think this will get you what you need

docker pull netbeez/nb-agent:latest

I know it has been a while since the latest post but we have determined what is causing the issue.  Reviewing the logs shows the following:

Mar 14 10:55:59 EST: %IOXCAF-6-INSTALL_MSG: Switch 1 R0/0: ioxman: app-hosting: Failed to install netbeez: App signature validation is enabled. App signature file package.cert or package.sign not found in pa Mar 14 13:32:14 EST: %IOXCAF-6-INSTALL_MSG: Switch 1 R0/0: ioxman: app-hosting: Failed to install netbeez: Invalid Archive file: unexpected end of data

It means we need to turn off app-hosting signed verification. I entered the command to disable signed verification and it accepts the command but when I issue a show app-hosting infra, the output shows it as still enabled.

I have a TAC case open and I am waiting to hear back about this recent finding.

Anyone know why disabling signed verification isn't working?

[Badger-Fi · Accepted solution]

It turns out that the global config command "no app-hosting signature verification" is not the command to disable signature verification.  The command "app-hosting verification disable" entered at privileged EXEC is the correct command.

[Torbjørn]

Great that you came back to provide the answer! Did disabling signature verification resolve your issue? Remember to mark your comment as the solution if that's the case.

[Badger-Fi]

Yes, "app-hosting verification disable" was the command that needed to be run in privileged EXEC.  My app is now installed and running properly.
