Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2015:1592 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Important: Red Hat Satellite 6.1.1 on RHEL 6 2015-08-12 09:04:35 UTC

Description Nick Strugnell 2014-05-15 12:53:23 UTC 
Description of problem:
Using dots in the names of kickstart templates or host groups results in problematic kickstart URLs in the default PXE configuration. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.03

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a host group with a dot in the name
2. Create a kickstart with a dot in the name (NB we do not need dots in both the kickstart and host group name - either will cause a failure)
3. Associate the kickstart with the host group
4. Generate the PXE default menu by clicking the 'Build PXE Default' button
5. Go to /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg on the smartproxy and open the default file.
6. Paste the kickstart URL e.g. https://<servername>/foreman/unattended/template/testkickstart.1/test-1 into a browser window

Actual results:
A web message saying 'The page you were looking for doesn't exist'.

In production.log, we see: 

ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches [GET] "/unattended/template/testkickstart.1/test-1");



Expected results:
A rendered kickstart

Additional info:
This error occurs because the default Rails configuration uses dots as a separator for formatted routes, so doesn't accept them as part of dynamic segments.

A few suggested workaround:

1. Permit the use of dots in segments for the unattended controller.
2. Add contstraints to the UI to reject any template names or host group names containing dots as illegal.
3. Transparently map dots to underscores in the application.

Comment 9 Kedar Bidarkar 2014-06-18 10:46:25 UTC 
1. Created a host group with a dot in the name [new.host]
2. Created a kickstart with a dot in the name [Satellite Kickstart Default for RHEL.v2] which has content same as "Satellite Kickstart Default for RHEL"
3. Associated the kickstart template with the host group, via "provision templates" -> <template name> -> Association -> "Add Combination".
4. Generated the PXE default menu by clicking the 'Build PXE Default' button
5. Moved  to /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg on the smartproxy and opened the default file.
6. Tried accessing the link via the browser, https://dhcp201-170.englab.pnq.redhat.com/unattended/template/Satellite%20Kickstart%20Default%20for%20RHEL.v2/new.host

But get the below messsage,

"There was an error rendering the  template: undefined method 'info' for Hostgroup::Jail (Hostgroup)"


From the /var/log/foreman/production.log face the below issue.

Comment 10 Dominic Cleal 2014-06-24 15:55:00 UTC 
That's a different bug, specifically with the template that's in use, it's not designed for host group-based provisioning.
Comment 11 jmagen@redhat.com 2014-07-06 08:04:11 UTC 
Is this still a bug if the template is not designed for host group-based provisioning?
Comment 12 Dominic Cleal 2014-07-28 09:53:36 UTC 
No needinfo required here, Joseph's question was answered in the redmine ticket.
Comment 13 Bryan Kearney 2014-08-12 12:47:40 UTC 
Upstream bug assigned to stbenjam
Comment 14 Stephen Benjamin 2014-08-19 12:32:43 UTC 
Moving back to MODIFIED, since the code for this specific bug is already merged downstream, and removing me from the assignee, since I don't have anything to do with this bug.

However, verifying this depends on a template enabled for host group provisioning.

1126087 provides one for Satellite. You'll need that to verify this.
Comment 15 Stephen Benjamin 2014-08-19 12:36:45 UTC 
Also putting the URL back to the original one, this BZ is not 6363, which isn't even needed in Satellite - Katello templates had a separate issue, which was handled in 1126087.
Comment 17 Kedar Bidarkar 2015-03-16 12:42:46 UTC 
This Bug cannot be verified till Bug : 1126087 is verified.

Tried with sat6.1 Beta snap6 compose2.
Comment 18 Kedar Bidarkar 2015-05-05 16:20:53 UTC 
Currently host-group based provisioning templates cannot be rendered properly.

The described reproducer is blocked by BZ #1318732.

If anyone can provide different reproducer we can proceed and verify this BZ.
Comment 26 Lukas Pramuk 2016-05-05 14:23:27 UTC 
Not really blocker, if we use chrome instead of firefox...

Comment 29 Lukas Pramuk 2016-06-06 14:52:09 UTC 
The web message no longer says:
"The page you were looking for doesn't exist" (as was reported in this bug)

vs.

Now it says:
"There was an error rendering the Unnamed template: undefined method 'mac' for Hostgroup::Jail (Hostgroup)"
