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.

Description Jan Hutař 2014-06-10 13:22:41 UTC 
Description of problem:
"redhat_register" snippet with subscription-management registration via activation key fails.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite-6.0.3-RHEL-6-20140605.0


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup Satellite 6 to the state you can provision guests on local
   libvirt compute resource
2. Provision some guest using network install - you need to setup these
   parameters to go to that branch:
     activation_key = <activation_key_name>
     subscription_manager = true
     subscription_manager_host = <fqdn>
     subscription_manager_org = ACME_Organization


Actual results:
At the end on installed guest in /root/install.post.log there is:

[...]
Starting the subscription-manager registration process
Loaded plugins: product-id, security, subscription-manager
Setting up Install Process
Nothing to do
error: open of <fqdn>/pub/candlepin-cert-consumer-latest.noarch.rpm failed: No such file or directory
[...]

and system is not subscribed.


Expected results:
System should be subscribed.


Additional info:
There seems to be 2 issues:

  1) missing "http://" in the template
  2) "candlepin-cert-consumer-latest.noarch.rpm" should be replaced
     with "katello-ca-consumer-latest.noarch.rpm"
Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2014-06-10 13:37:14 UTC 
Since this issue was entered in Red Hat Bugzilla, the release flag has been
set to ? to ensure that it is properly evaluated for this release.
Comment 3 Jan Hutař 2014-06-10 13:49:27 UTC 
Also when I attempt to register using username/password it fails with:

[...]
Starting the subscription-manager registration process
Loaded plugins: product-id, security, subscription-manager
Setting up Install Process
Nothing to do
Invalid username or password. To create a login, please visit https://www.redhat.com/wapps/ugc/register.html
[...]

which is expected as `rpm -Uvh .../katello-ca-consumer-latest.noarch.rpm` step is missing at all.
Comment 5 Stephen Benjamin 2014-08-01 12:46:55 UTC 
"redhat_register" should not be used with Satellite.

The correct kickstart template is "Satellite Kickstart Default for RHEL," which uses the "subscription_manager" template. 

However, this is a duplicate of 1096297 anyway, where "redhat_register" was changed to work with Katello upstream.
