Description Scott McCarty 2014-03-23 02:35:37 UTC 
Description of problem:

Username and passwords are sensitive. It would be nice for rhsm to have the ability to embed in an answer file.

This would be especially useful with a Dockerfile (example below), because one would be able to share docker files without having passwords embedded:

=================================================
# Version    1  
  
# Pull from CentOS RPM Build Image  
FROM rhel6-base  
  
MAINTAINER Scott McCarty smccarty  
  
# Update the image  
RUN subscription-manager register --username=fatherlinux --password='PASSWORD' --auto-attach  
RUN yum update -y  
RUN subscription-manager unregister
=================================================

This sounds like a good use for registration with an Activation Key which is already implemented.

However, I believe the current design for attaching subscriptions to a docker container will come from the entitlements on the host system that is running the docker container.  This was demoed by dgoodwin on https://engineering.redhat.com/trac/Entitlement/wiki/SprintReviews/EntitlementSprint76Review
Therefore no registration will be required in a Dockerfile.

NEEDINFO on dgoodwin to confirm.

What about reusing the mechanism rho has? Or is that too heavy handed for this?

Between Activation keys, and the current implentation of the docker plugin we have this feature request covered. I am closing this out.
