RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
Given registering a system "RHEL6.8 Snapshot4 variant Server" using proxy
Firsboot does not remember a value of a field "I will register with:"
when an error with connection to a server occured.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL6.8 Snapshot4 variant Server
How reproducible:
each time.
Steps to Reproduce:
Given Firstboot running at RHEL6.8 Snapshot4 - variant Server
I clicked "Proxy Setup" at "Choose Service" dialog
then proxy dialog appeared.
When I checked "I would like to connect via HTTP proxy"
and I checked "Use Authentication with HTTP Proxy"
and I filled wrong "Proxy Name"
and I clicked "Close"
then a dialog was closed.
When I clicked "Forward"
and I filled "I will register with:" with a value "subscription.rhsm.stage.redhat.com"
and I clicked "Forward"
then an error window with message "Unable to reach the server at ...." appeared.
When I clicked "OK"
and I clicked "Back"
and I clicked "Proxy setup"
then a window "Proxy Configuration" appeared.
When I clicked "Close"
and I clicked "Forward"
then firstboot displayed a value "subscription.rhsm.redhat.com"
instead of the value I had entered before.
The decision that was made was that when you back (click the back button) out of the subscription-manager firstboot module that values will not be persisted until after successful registration. As such this is working as designed.
