Description Lindani Phiri 2016-08-17 19:37:38 UTC

Description of problem:

RHEL hosts registered via an RHN proxy server cannot register to the Insights service.  Deployment is as follows:

RHEL Host --> RHN Proxy --> Satellelite 5 Server --> Red Hat Insights Service

This is a supported configuration and should work without explicit configuration
on the RHN proxy.

The RHN Proxy configuration script should automatically set up the following reverse proxy rule in the its httpd configuration:

  ProxyPass   /redhat_access https://<satserver_ip>/redhat_access
  ProxyPassReverse /redhat_access https://<satserver_ip>/redhat_access


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.7


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup Host--> RHN Proxy --> Satellite 5 server
2. Attempt to register host to Insights service (redhat-access-insights --register)


Actual results:
Registration fails with an HTTP 404 exception


Expected results:

Registration should work , with the RHN proxy acting as a reverse proxy to the main Satellite server.

1. Setup Host--> RHN Proxy --> Satellite 5 server
2. redhat-access-insights --register is OK
3. There is configured /etc/httpd/conf.d/insights-proxy.conf
