Description Jayant Bhatia 2019-10-21 17:39:57 UTC 
Description of problem:
Registering RHEL-8 machine with Satellite-6.5 using bootstrap script with --rex and --rex-user parameter fails with error 'TypeError: 'in <string>' requires string as left operand, not bytes'

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite-6.5

How reproducible:
Always with RHEL-8 client

Steps to Reproduce:
Download the boostrap script for Satellite-6.5 on RHEL-8 client machine and execute it like below.

# /usr/libexec/platform-python bootstrap.py -l admin -s 'satellite.example.com' -o 'redhat' -L 'default_location' -g bootstrap -a Test_AK --rex --rex-user=root --unmanage --force  --skip puppet  --skip-foreman

Actual results:
The client gets successfully registered but fails at below step while installing Remote Execution SSH key for user
