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 of problem:

As a user of Satellite, I would like the ability to leverage an activation key to 'bootstrap' various items required to fully configure the host with puppet. 
Today the activation key functionality connects me to content related items, but does nothing with regards to configuration management. 

These tasks include (and should be end-user configurable)

* installing the puppet / facter RPMs. (It is assumed that the content view associated with the host will contain a repo with those RPMs)
* configure puppet to point to the correct capsule/satellite. 
* submit request for a certificate for puppet. (and optionally some logic to auto-sign this request)
* ensure the host is associated with the correct organization, location and hostgroup.

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.

+1

It would be interesting to see this as a (set?) of subscription-manager plugins

Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this feature request, and we do not expect this to be implemented in product in the foreseeable future. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please feel free to contact Rich Jerrido or Bryan Kearney. Thank you.
