Description Joerg 2023-07-25 08:58:03 UTC
Description of problem:
Hosts in IPv6-only networks cannot subscribe to RHSM using an IPv6 proxy address. The dual-stack proxy is necessary as RHSM currently still don't support IPv6.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
subscription-manager 1.29.33.1-1.el9_2

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Provision host with IPv6 connectivity
2. Run `subscription-manager version --proxy="http://[<IPv6-of-your-proxy>]:3128

Actual results:
The following blocks show you some examples of the the commands I tried. IP addresses were replaced with RFC 3849 prefix.

~~~
# subscription-manager version --proxy="http://[2001:DB8::DEAD:BEEF:2]:3128"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/subscription-manager", line 33, in <module>
    sys.exit(load_entry_point('subscription-manager==1.29.33.1', 'console_scripts', 'subscription-manager')())

    return cmd.main()

    self.proxy_port = int(parts[1])
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'DB8'
~~~

The same 'ValueError' occurs when specifying the IPv6 address without the brackets '[]'. Using proxy FQDN leads to the same exception followed by another one:

~~~
# subscription-manager version --proxy="http://proxy.example.com"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/rhsm/utils.py", line 207, in parse_url
    int(port)
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'DB8'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    sys.exit(load_entry_point('subscription-manager==1.29.33.1', 'console_scripts', 'subscription-manager')())

    info = parse_url(proxy_info, default_port=DEFAULT_PROXY_PORT)
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/rhsm/utils.py", line 211, in parse_url
    raise ServerUrlParseErrorPort(local_server_entry)
rhsm.utils.ServerUrlParseErrorPort: http://[2001:DB8::DEAD:BEEF:2]:3128/

Expected results:
Command should succeed.

This is the RHEL 9 version of bug 1878182; known issue, unfortunately.

OTOH, subscription-manager does actually support IPv6: at least TTBOMK, the problem is only in the parsing of URL strings.
