[RFE] Allow through API methods to render templates without configuring a host in build mode
Last modified: 2016-07-27 04:50:08 EDT
Description of problem: If a host isn't in build mode, you cannot check if the kickstart template is rendered properly. Either you enable build mode and use http://sat6host/unattended/provision or you get an authentication cookie and use https://sat6host/unattended/provision?spoof=<hostname>. Both ways are tricky. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Access to http://sat6host/unattended/provision from a host which is not in build mode and you won't get the template 2. Access to https://sat6.host/unattended/provision/?spoof=>hostname> and you will be redirected to login pages 3. No more methods to get it rendered Expected results: At least [1] should work, no matter the build status. Or it would be even better to have any API method to get it rendered.
