RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
subscription-manager does not report 4xx messages sent by the Candlepin server. Instead, it shows the cached value and does not report the error status it has received.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
100 %
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Spin up local Candlepin server
2. Register a new system to it
3. Restart the Candlepin server and make sure to redeploy the test data, to make the local certificate installed at the system invalid
4. Run 'subscription-manager status'
Actual results:
> +-------------------------------------------+
> System Status Details
> +-------------------------------------------+
> Overall Status: Current
>
> System Purpose Status: Not Specified
Expected results:
The 4xx status message is taken into account. One possibility is to do not display anything and only show the error message, as we usually do with error messages received from the server.
Another option is to include a message similar to the SCA one: show the table, but include additional information about the server reported failure.
> +-------------------------------------------+
> System Status Details
> +-------------------------------------------+
> Overall Status: Current
> The system has received an error from the server: "Invalid Credentials". Cached value has been displayed.
