This system was deployed by our satellite, the "[sru]" in /etc/xdg/plainbox.conf prevents it from select whitelists.
Whitelist selection back to normal after removing the "[sru]" pattern.

I figured there seems to be a conflict in between canonical-certification-cli launcher and plainbox.conf.

By marking whitelist value under [sru] as comment can solve this issue and keep other values.

Interesting, I don't think we've really thought much about interaction between launchers and config files, but it makes sense that they would cause this behavior if they conflict.

affects: checkbox (Ubuntu) → checkbox-satellite

OK, the logic is as follows, assuming plainbox is used for the installation (--plainbox when using launch_testrun):

- if -p is given, it will use the sru whitelist (I think this is not the problem here)
- If -p is not given:
   - If the whitelist is client-cert-12-04-4.whitelist, it will be configured
      /usr/share/2013.com.canonical.certification:certification-client/whitelists/client-cert-12-04-4.whitelist
   - If the whitelist is something else, it will be configured from /usr/share/2013.com.canonical.certification:checkbox/whitelists/$WHITELIST_NAME
  - If whitelist is not given, it will default to using client-cert.whitelist.

We can remove the part of the preseed that sets the bad whitelist. For this I'd appreciate if you could tell me which whitelist is being set up, and how you are calling launch_testrun.

As a workaround, as you noted, you can manually comment the whitelist entry in the config file before starting the tests. Please let me know if the workaround helps.
