Description Lukáš Hellebrandt 2017-10-11 11:48:18 UTC 
Description of problem:
The Sat6.2 Installation Guide [1] in section "4.6.1. Configuring Capsule Server with a Default Server Certificate", part 1, advises to run:

# capsule-certs-generate \
--capsule-fqdn "mycapsule.example.com" \
--certs-tar "~/mycapsule.example.com-certs.tar"

In 6.3, you have to use --foreman-proxy-fqd instead of --capsule-fqdn (bug 1500671) which is unrelated to this bug. So let's fix it:

# capsule-certs-generate \
--foreman-proxy-fqdn "<FQDN>" \
--certs-tar "~/whatever-certs.tar"

However, using the tilde ~ symbol causes the following error:

"""
Parameter certs-tar invalid: ~/whatever-certs.tar is not one of regexes matching /^(([a-zA-Z]:[\\\/Error during configuration, exiting
"""

However, in 6.2 (tested with foreman-installer-katello-3.0.0.65-1), the tilde is expanded properly and the tool continues correctly -> this is regression.

Nope: the error message being displayed incorrectly is bug 1500676.

How reproducible:
Deterministic

Steps to Reproduce:
1. # capsule-certs-generate \
--foreman-proxy-fqdn "<FQDN>" \
--certs-tar "~/whatever-certs.tar"

Actual results:
Error

Expected results:
Correctly expanded path used and the tool run continues

Looks like similar issue:

Comment 2 Lukáš Hellebrandt 2017-10-11 11:59:24 UTC 
^ That's correct. Even the "tilde case" is mentioned in the comments, thus, I am closing this BZ as a duplicate.
