Description Marcel Wysocki 2016-03-01 08:16:52 UTC

Description of problem:
rh_subscription runs before bootcmd, where I install the CA cert.
Ideally the module itself should have a way to install custom satellite certs

Comment 2 Lars Kellogg-Stedman 2017-01-16 18:36:52 UTC

In the forthcoming 0.7.9 cloud-init package (which should be dropping Real Soon Now), the rh_subscription plugin now runs as part of cloud_config_modules, which comes after both bootcmd and write-files.  This should permit installation of custom certificates.

Comment 3 Zhitao Lin 2019-12-18 08:14:51 UTC

In cloud-init 18.5 and RHEL 7.7.2019090316, the issue is gone. So move the status to VERIFIED.

Below is detailed test info.

Test steps:
1. Create a VM on Azure and deploy cloud-init as the provisioning agent
2. Make sure it is unregistered.
3. configure the cloud-init configure file in /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/*.cfg (Mine is rh_subscription.cfg)
4. Delete cloud-init's semaphore files in /var/lib/cloud/instance/sem
5. restart VM and it should be registered.

Comment 4 Huijuan Zhao 2019-12-19 01:57:21 UTC

CLOSE this bug since the build(cloud-init 18.5 and RHEL 7.7) already released.

Comment 5 Corey Shafer 2020-07-02 12:28:47 UTC

I am having this issue using Satellite 6.7 and a CentOS 7.8 image being deployed with a cloud-init userdata template.  Should I make another bug request?
