Description Brian Smith 2022-11-09 22:30:59 UTC

Description of problem:
On newly built RHEL 8.7 system, running "rhc connect" does not result in a system with working RHEL yum repositories

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):  RHEL 8.7, rhc-0.2.1-9.el8.x86_64

How reproducible:
Only attempted one time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build RHEL 8.7 system from rhel-8.7-x86_64-dvd.iso 

2. Run "rhc connect", which successfully completes:
● Connected to Red Hat Subscription Management
● Connected to Red Hat Insights
● Activated the Red Hat connector daemon


Actual results:
There are no RHEL repositories configured:

# dnf repolist
Updating Subscription Management repositories.
No repositories available

# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo 
#
# Certificate-Based Repositories
# Managed by (rhsm) subscription-manager
#
# *** This file is auto-generated.  Changes made here will be over-written. ***
# *** Use "subscription-manager repo-override --help" if you wish to make changes. ***
#
# If this file is empty and this system is subscribed consider
# a "yum repolist" to refresh available repos
#

Expected results:
- Expected that after running "rhc connect" the BaseOS / AppStream repositories are available

Additional info:
- After running "subscription-manager refresh" the BaseOS / AppStream repositories are available/working.

Comment 1 Link Dupont 2022-12-01 16:43:58 UTC

I could not reproduce this. Does the account you registered with have Simple Content Access enabled? 'rhc connect' does not activate any entitlements; it only registers the system with RHSM.

Comment 2 Brian Smith 2022-12-01 17:33:39 UTC

Yes, my account has simple content access enabled.  

I built another two new RHEL 8.7 systems from the rhel-8.7-x86_64-dvd.iso:

- On one system, I ran "rhc connect" and reproduced the issue again as described in this BZ.  If I then run "subscription-manager refresh", the AppStream and BaseOS repositories are avalable.

- On the other system, I ran "subscription-manager register" and was left with both the AppStream and BaseOS repositories setup/available 

Why does "subscription-manager register" configure the repositories, but "rhc connect" doesn't?

Comment 4 Christian Marineau 2022-12-02 14:54:05 UTC

I was able to reproduce the issue on RHEL 8.7

Comment 6 Link Dupont 2022-12-02 15:48:54 UTC

I figured it out. I was able to reproduce it when I run 'rhc connect' using a username and password. I had previously run my reproduction steps using an org-id and activation key, which of course activates the repositories automatically.
