Description Shwetha Kallesh 2013-08-23 05:59:24 UTC

Description of problem:
server type of subscription-manager identity after deleting the consumer registered with both RHSM and rhn classic should be just RHN Classic 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@rhel65 ~]# subscription-manager version
server type: RHN Classic
subscription management server: 0.8.19-1
subscription-manager: 1.10.0-1.git.11.3283e12.el6
python-rhsm: 1.10.0-1.git.4.e274ed7.el6


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
[root@rhel65 ~]# subscription-manager register --org=admin
WARNING

Proposing that we skip this fix. The problem will correct itself the next time rhsmcertd runs (every 4 hours by default) and the identity certificate is archived.

I would fix if it were simple but the problem exists in several other places where we assume we're registered if an identity certificate exists, this is done in hundreds of places in subscription manager. The error message that the consumer is deleted is done in our exception handling code for the period of time between deletion and when rhsmcertd runs on client. 

Fixing is hampered by the fact that the code which looks up the server version and type does not require any authentication, thus there is no GoneException to be thrown because we do not authenticate as a consumer for this part. Only later in identity command do we try to lookup owner info which triggers the gone. So to fix we would have to combine two things that should not really be combined and start forcing authentication for something that doesn't need it.

Overall feels like not worth fixing considering it's consistent with rest of app, and corrects itself once rhsmcertd runs. Sound ok?

Spoke to Shwetha, we're going to close, very low impact for a very short time.
