Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

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:
allow repodiff to accept authentication certificates for repo urls.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to use repodiff against https://cdn.redhat.com/.../repo

Actual results:
Permission denied on the repo because it requires certificate (key and cert) authentication.

Expected results:
Allow some way to specify --cert --key for accessing the repositories to see if there are changes with local mirrors.

Additional info:

It could also be useful if I could specify a repo by name from yum repolist. Ideally it would just use the configuration for that repo defined in the .repo file.

That could possibly simplify the cli syntax for repodiff.

e.g.

repodiff --old-name /some/mirror/path --new-name rhel-7-server

I second this. Would be great to have (also usable for ULN then).

This bug no customer case attached and wasn't proposed for the next minor release.
There is no plan to fix it in RHEL 7.
