"Error: failed to detect signature algorithm" during first sync with signaturealgorithm = auto in the profile

"Error: failed to detect signature algorithm" during first sync with signaturealgorithm = auto in the profile. Able to continue after setting signaturealgorithm to HmacSHA1.

profile:

[testenv172]
url        = http://10.0.x.x:8080/client/api
domain       = /
username      = admin
password      = password
apikey       = ...
secretkey     = ...
signaturealgorithm = auto

noticed in cmk v6.6.0 rc1.

@sureshanaparti
what if there is not a setting signaturealgorithm in the cmk config ?

[sureshanaparti]

@weizhouapache when signaturealgorithm is not there in the profile, cmk added this - "signaturealgorithm = HmacSHA1".

[weizhouapache]

@sureshanaparti
the issue is because apikey/secretkey is wrong in .cmk/config

in the past or signaturealgorithm = HmacSHA1, if the apikey is wrong, it will fall back to use the username/password
now with signaturealgorithm = auto, cmk will fail with failed to detect signature algorithm

please retry after cleaning up the apikey and secretkey in .cmk/config
