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:
If you had set a proxy username and password in the advance network configuration dialog in firstboot, you cannot unset it by unchecking the option as you can in subscription-manager-gui.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
subscription-manager-firstboot-0.96.1-1.git.186.1107890.el6.x86_64
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Fire up firstboot
2. Go through the menus until you get to register updates
3. Choose to register with subscription manager
4. Set your proxies by going to 'advanced network configuration'
- pick a proxy server that allows you to authenticate with a user name and password
5. Hit forward, and register subscription manager.
6. Change your mind about the proxy.
7. Hit the back button until you get to the advanced network configuration again.
8. Pick a proxy server that does not allow authentication and choose not to use a proxy username and password by UNCHECKING the "use username and password" box.
9. Go forward and register again, completing firstboot.
Actual results:
In your /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf file, you will notice that your proxy_username and proxy_password are still set to the old values.
Expected results:
The two values have been blanked as you opted not to use them with the checkbox. (just like subscription-manager-gui).
