Comment 21 Bryan Kearney 2020-06-09 15:00:34 UTC

The Satellite Team is attempting to provide an accurate backlog of bugzilla requests which we feel will be resolved in the next few releases. We do not believe this bugzilla will meet that criteria, and have plans to close it out in 1 month. This is not a reflection on the validity of the request, but a reflection of the many priorities for the product. If you have any concerns about this, feel free to contact Red Hat Technical Support or your account team. If we do not hear from you, we will close this bug out. Thank you.

Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and while we recognize that it is a valid request, we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. This is due to other priorities for the product, and not a reflection on the request itself. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please do not reopen. Instead, feel free to contact Red Hat Technical Support. Thank you.

Upon review of our valid but aging backlog the Satellite Team has concluded that this Bugzilla does not meet the criteria for a resolution in the near term, and are planning to close in a month. This message may be a repeat of a previous update and the bug is again being considered to be closed. If you have any concerns about this, please contact your Red Hat Account team.  Thank you.

I would like to clarify the current situation about Satellite and support of 2FA. While this Bugzilla was closed as WONTFIX, it does not mean, Satellite does not generally support two factor authentication.

Satellite can be configured to support 2FA. The second factor can be a token or a card (e.g. CAC). Satellite does not directly provide support for this, it relies on external authentication source in such scenario. That can be IdM or Keycloak. The 2FA authentication then happens in that external system, while Satellite trusts that external system and grants access to the user authenticated externally.

The documentation on this topic can be found here
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.14/html/installing_satellite_server_in_a_connected_network_environment/configuring_external_authentication_satellite#Configuring_Keycloak_Authentication_with_TOTP_keycloak-totp

The whole guide talks about the use for both UI and CLI. The reason this BZ was closed is because it combined too many various requests (token, AD support, 2FA with SecurID, 2FA with tokens etc). We are looking at how to improve the documentation for supported use cases as this is very complex topic.
