Incorrect certificate file for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server for Power
The cryptographic (public key) certificate file provided by Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server for Power, little endian 7.2 Beta contains an incorrect product identification tag. As a consequence, systems are unable to access the Beta content available online. To work around this problem, copy the updated certificate file onto the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server for Power, little endian 7.2 Beta system following successful installation, but prior to registering the system with Red Hat Subscription Manager. Detailed instructions and the correct certificate file are available at https://access.redhat.com/articles/1603533
Description of problem:
As a continuation of Bug 1245052, the redhat-release-server-7.2 needs to be re-built to provide the correct product cert

RHEL 7.2 Beta Product Cert for ppc64le
As a workaround for an already installed RHEL7.2 Beta system on ppc64le, I have attached the corrected product certificate.
Simply detach it and place it in the /etc/pki/product/ directory. This will take precedence over the bad 279.pem file located in /etc/pki/product-default/ directory.
To verify it has been installed correctly...
[root@jsefler-7 ~]# rct cat-cert /etc/pki/product/279.pem | grep Tags
Tags: rhel-7,rhel-7-ibm-power-le
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Those are the expected tags.
