Comment 4 Jan Kurik 2017-12-06 12:43:07 UTC

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is in the Production 3 Phase. During the Production 3 Phase, Critical impact Security Advisories (RHSAs) and selected Urgent Priority Bug Fix Advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available.

The official life cycle policy can be reviewed here:

http://redhat.com/rhel/lifecycle

This issue does not meet the inclusion criteria for the Production 3 Phase and will be marked as CLOSED/WONTFIX. If this remains a critical requirement, please contact Red Hat Customer Support to request a re-evaluation of the issue, citing a clear business justification. Note that a strong business justification will be required for re-evaluation. Red Hat Customer Support can be contacted via the Red Hat Customer Portal at the following URL:

Preliminary Verification:

As requested in the original bug , I observe that now baseurl samples are now availbale in the man pages of rhsm.conf and subscription-manager in the following version of RHSM:
[root@localhost ~]# subscription-manager version
server type: This system is currently not registered.
subscription management server: 2.2.2-1
subscription management rules: 5.26
subscription-manager: 1.20.10-3.el6

[root@localhost ~]# man rhsm.conf | grep baseurl -A5
baseurl
This setting is the prefix for all content which is managed by the subscription service. This should be the hostname for the Red Hat CDN, the local Satellite or Capsule depending on your deployment. Prefix depends on the service type. For the Red Hat CDN, the full baseurl is https://cdn.redhat.com . For Satellite 6, the baseurl is https://HOSTNAME/pulp/repos , so for a hostname of sat6.example.com the full baseurl would be for example: https://sat6.example.com/pulp/repos .

[root@localhost ~]# man subscription-manager

--baseurl=https://CONTENT_SERVICE:PORT/PREFIX
Passes the name of the content delivery service to configure the yum service to use to pull down packages. If there is an on-premise subscription service such as Subscription Asset Manager or Cloud-Forms System Engine, this parameter can be used to submit the URL of the content repository, in the form https://server_name:port/prefix. PREFIX in particular depends on the service type. For example, https://sam.example.com:8088/sam is the baseurl for a SAM service. https://sat6.example.com/pulp/repos is the baseurl for a Satellite 6 service with the hostname sat6.example.com .https://cdn.redhat.com is the baseurl for the Red Hat CDN.
