Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
subscription-manager register --user=admin --password=admin --org=admin owner

Or

 subscription-manager register --u admin --password admin --org donaldduck ownersssssss
  
Actual results:
The system has been registered with id: c76f1921-9258-4f35-9d6c-ffb94617f90f 


Expected results:

Registration should fail saying "Organization/Owner admin owner does not exist"

Comment 2 John Sefler 2011-08-29 13:24:29 UTC
To specify an org with a space in the name, bash requires that you quote the value.  Try this...

subscription-manager register --user=admin --password=admin --org="admin owner"

subscription-manager register --u admin --password admin --org "donaldduck
ownersssssss"

Comment 3 John Sefler 2011-08-29 13:48:16 UTC
see Bug 734114 - register with --org="foo bar" throws a NetworkException instead of a RestlibException

Comment 6 Bryan Kearney 2012-01-03 21:51:17 UTC
Closing this out since the quotes are required, and we have another bug with spaces already.
