Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-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 of problem:

Changes are required to the mechanism by which we share entitlements with containers to support real world scenarios going forward.

Changes required:


- stop sharing redhat.repo from host as a secret.

- share hosts /etc/rhsm/ as /run/secrets/rhsm

Host's /etc/pki/entitlement should continue being shared as /run/secrets/etc-pki-entitlement.

For consistency, it might make more sense to share /etc/rhsm as /run/secrets/etc-rhsm instead, but this will require a change to the symlinks in the base images from vpavlin.

For reference the current container symlinks:

bash-4.2# ls -la /etc/pki/entitlement-host
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 32 Jun 18 06:41 /etc/pki/entitlement-host -> /run/secrets/etc-pki-entitlement
bash-4.2# ls -la /etc/rhsm-host 
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 17 Jun 18 06:41 /etc/rhsm-host -> /run/secrets/rhsm
bash-4.2#

Vaclav, any update on this one?

Devan, could you please confirm these changes are what you requested?

Since we have shipped newer code, I believe this is fixed.
