Description Jan Hutař 2012-11-12 13:39:21 UTC

Description of problem:
Option noSSLServerURL was removed from the up2date config but it is still referenced from useNoSSLForPackages[comment]. This is confusing.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhn-client-tools-1.0.0-87.el6.noarch


How reproducible:
always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Note comment in up2date config for useNoSSLForPackages option
2. Attempt to find noSSLServerURL in the config


Actual results:
useNoSSLForPackages[comment] refers to noSSLServerURL which is not in the config


Expected results:
It should be clear how to configure noSSLServerURL


Additional info:
As per bug 652424 comment #c12 on RHEL4 noSSLServerURL was configured automatically.

Comment 9 Radovan Drazny 2016-01-21 13:21:31 UTC

"Reproduced" on RHEL 6.7 Server. Relevant lines in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date are as follows:

disallowConfChanges[comment]=Config options that can not be overwritten by a config update action
disallowConfChanges=noReboot;sslCACert;useNoSSLForPackages;noSSLServerURL;serverURL;disallowConfChanges;
<...>
useNoSSLForPackages[comment]=Use the noSSLServerURL for package, package list, and header fetching (disable Akamai)
useNoSSLForPackages=0



Note the mention of noSSLServerURL directive. 

After installing a new server using the new build of rhn-client-tools, relevant lines contain following text:



disallowConfChanges[comment]=Config options that can not be overwritten by a config update action
disallowConfChanges=noReboot;sslCACert;useNoSSLForPackages;serverURL;disallowConfChanges;
<...>
useNoSSLForPackages[comment]=Use HTTP for package, package list, and header fetching (disable Akamai)
useNoSSLForPackages=0



Mentions of noSSLServerURL are gone.
