Description Devan Goodwin 2012-05-07 16:16:35 UTC

Description of problem:

Subscription Manager is being updated to allow the user to specify a hostname for an on-site subscription service to register against. However the various servers all use different prefixes for the web application, which the user is not likely to know. (i.e. /subscription, /katello/api, /headpin/api) 

We would like to standardize on /subscription being the definitive web app prefix across all our products that subscription manager hits.


Ivan's proposed solution is via apache configuration: https://www.redhat.com/archives/katello-devel/2012-May/msg00028.html

Comment 1 Lukas Zapletal 2012-05-09 20:24:34 UTC

So is my understanding correct; rhsm will ship with /subscription by default.

We should still change the prefix for old clients, right?

Comment 2 Devan Goodwin 2012-05-10 15:19:49 UTC

Any properly configured old client should still be fine, as the previous API URL would still exist. The new redirect would be a default for all new clients, but again can be configured in the rhsm.conf file, or using the new gui/cli tools for selecting a server, port, and webapp prefix.

Comment 6 Devan Goodwin 2012-10-03 15:38:57 UTC

Can be tested by using rhsm.conf prefix of /subscriptions.

i.e. register with subscription-manager-gui, specify the katello server by IP or hostname only (it will default to /subscriptions) Or specify katellohostname:port/subscriptions

registration should work, system should appear in katello.

Comment 7 Devan Goodwin 2012-10-03 15:41:51 UTC

Mistake in my previous comment and the title of this but, it's "subscription", not the plural "subscriptions".

Server prefix "/subscription" works OK and it registers system.
