Description Jan Stavel 2016-04-07 09:35:19 UTC
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.
