Description Anto P Joseph 2018-10-31 17:18:58 UTC

Description of problem:

Currently, the only way to add hosts to a compliance policy is via the Hosts page, selecting them and using the Assign Compliance Policy action. This should be exposed in the REST API too either on the Hosts or Policies object.


The underlying request of that action currently goes to /compliance/policies/update_multiple_hosts but needs a rails authenticity token so is complex to use programmatically.

This is limiting automation in the customer's environment.


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


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:

The compliance policy of Satellite hosts can't be managed through API. This is limiting the automation process in the customer's environment.
Expected results:

Expose options in API to manage compliance policy of hosts registered to Satellite server.

Thank you for submitting this RFE. We already track this request as #1485805, therefore I will close as a duplicate. The resolution of linked BZ makes it possible to add a single host to a policy using API or hammer command (see 'hammer policy update --help' or policies apidoc for details).

Feel free to reopen if the solution in related BZ does not work for you or you would like to expose updating policies for host on a host object.
