Description Sergio G. 2015-03-30 06:44:32 UTC

Description of problem:
If a host isn't in build mode, you cannot check if the kickstart template is rendered properly. Either you enable build mode and use http://sat6host/unattended/provision or you get an authentication cookie and use https://sat6host/unattended/provision?spoof=<hostname>. Both ways are tricky.


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Access to http://sat6host/unattended/provision from a host which is not in build mode and you won't get the template
2. Access to https://sat6.host/unattended/provision/?spoof=>hostname> and you will be redirected to login pages
3. No more methods to get it rendered


Expected results:
At least [1] should work, no matter the build status. Or it would be even better to have any API method to get it rendered.

Comment 11 Stephen Benjamin 2016-07-15 13:18:48 UTC

Verified in Satellite 6.2 Snap 20.1. There's now an API to preview templates:


[root@sat-snap-rhel7 ~]# curl -u admin:changeme -H "Content-Type:application/json" -H "Accept:application/json"  https://sat-snap-rhel7.example.com/api/v2/hosts/centos7.example.com/template/provision

{"template":"\n\ninstall\nurl --url...[snip]
