Description John Sefler 2011-09-01 20:01:07 UTC
Description of problem:
Currently, the import help shows the following:

[root@jsefler-onprem-62server tmp]# subscription-manager import --help
Usage: subscription-manager import [OPTIONS]

Import certificates which were provided outside of the tool

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --proxy=PROXY_URL     proxy url in the form of proxy_hostname:proxy_port
  --proxyuser=PROXY_USER
                        user for http proxy with basic authentication
  --proxypassword=PROXY_PASSWORD
                        password for http proxy with basic authentication
  --certificate=CERTIFICATE_FILES
                        certificate file to import

The option "--certificate=CERTIFICATE_FILES" should not be plural. The accepted way to import multiple certificates is to use the option more than once as shown here:

[root@jsefler-onprem-62server tmp]# subscription-manager import --certificate /tmp/1665296392807349022.pem --certificate /tmp/7179435381166267109.pem 
Successfully imported certificate 1665296392807349022.pem
Successfully imported certificate 7179435381166267109.pem
[root@jsefler-onprem-62server tmp]# 

I would suggest that the help message say:

  --certificate=CERTIFICATE_FILE
                        certificate file to import (for multiple imports,
                        specify this option more than once)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@jsefler-onprem-62server tmp]# rpm -q subscription-manager
subscription-manager-0.96.8-1.git.0.125eb68.el6.x86_64

Comment 2 John Sefler 2011-09-09 13:36:51 UTC
Verifying Version...
[root@jsefler-onprem-62server ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager
subscription-manager-0.96.9-1.git.8.4e7d06b.el6.x86_64


[root@jsefler-onprem-62server ~]# subscription-manager import --help
Usage: subscription-manager import [OPTIONS]

Import certificates which were provided outside of the tool

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --proxy=PROXY_URL     proxy url in the form of proxy_hostname:proxy_port
  --proxyuser=PROXY_USER
                        user for http proxy with basic authentication
  --proxypassword=PROXY_PASSWORD
                        password for http proxy with basic authentication
  --certificate=CERTIFICATE_FILE
                        certificate file to import (for multiple imports,
                        specify this option more than once)


^^^ VERIFIED wording on --certificate option has been updated

Note: Still need a fix for Bug 733873 - subscription-manager import --help should not use proxy options
