Comment 1 Brad Buckingham 2022-02-21 14:51:13 UTC

Is this a regression in behavior from Satellite 6.10?

Comment 2 Jayant Bhatia 2022-02-23 04:56:13 UTC

Hello,

Below is the output of same commands from Satellite 610.

Comment 3 Eric Helms 2022-05-10 18:40:01 UTC

Can you expand on why OPTIONS needs to be disabled by default?

Comment 4 Jayant Bhatia 2022-05-12 04:46:08 UTC

Comment 5 Brad Buckingham 2023-03-06 11:40:19 UTC

Upon review of our valid but aging backlog the Satellite Team has concluded that this Bugzilla does not meet the criteria for a resolution in the near term, and are planning to close in a month. This message may be a repeat of a previous update and the bug is again being considered to be closed. If you have any concerns about this, please contact your Red Hat Account team.  Thank you.

Comment 6 Brad Buckingham 2023-04-06 17:10:05 UTC

Thank you for your interest in Red Hat Satellite. We have evaluated this request, and while we recognize that it is a valid request, we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. This is due to other priorities for the product, and not a reflection on the request itself. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this feel free to contact your Red Hat Account Team. Thank you.

*** Bug 2226911 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 8 Eric Helms 2023-07-27 14:00:36 UTC

I've re-opened this because there is a KCS article (https://access.redhat.com/solutions/4963161) that instructs users to use an unsupported method to achieve this which can break between releases.
