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.

shows screen shots of errors

Description of problem:
=======================

The error behavior of registering with a bad username/password is different from RHEL 7.1, and also different from the existing errors.  If a user puts in no username and no password, an error dialog box comes up but the username/password dialog frame is still open (though not focused) in the background.

However, if a bad username/password is entered, an error dialog pops up warning the user, but the username/password dialog frame is closed in the background.  Thus when the user clicks OK on the error dialog, the user is taken back to the 
MY Installed Products tab.

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

[root@rhel7-2-test-stoner entitlement]# rpm -qa | grep subscription
subscription-manager-migration-1.15.7-1.git.0.d18b901.el7.x86_64
subscription-manager-1.15.7-1.git.0.d18b901.el7.x86_64
subscription-manager-plugin-container-1.15.7-1.git.0.d18b901.el7.x86_64
subscription-manager-gui-1.15.7-1.git.0.d18b901.el7.x86_64
subscription-manager-plugin-ostree-1.15.7-1.git.0.d18b901.el7.x86_64
subscription-manager-initial-setup-addon-1.15.7-1.git.0.d18b901.el7.x86_64
subscription-manager-migration-data-2.0.22-1.git.0.4260892.el7.noarch


How reproducible:
=================

Always


Steps to Reproduce:
===================

1. Click Register button from My Installed Products
2. In new dialog frame, type in an invalid user/pw
3. Click Register button

vs. no username,pw

1. same as above
2. leave username and password blank
3. same as above


Actual results:
===============

See screenshots
(compares nouser/pw with baduser/pw)

Expected results:
=================

If a user enters a bad username and password, the error dialog should still pop up, but the background register dialog should stay and become enabled when the user clicks OK on the error dialog.

This goes back to the last minute error handling changes made for RHEL6 firstboot.


I think 21fcc5b210949bd0721f0148449587c088cba61b in master may fix this already.

Comment 3 vritant 2015-09-04 04:23:53 UTC
Confirmed this is fixed in 21fcc5b210949bd0721f0148449587c088cba61b in master

Comment 4 Chris "Ceiu" Rog 2015-09-24 19:34:59 UTC
The broken behavior was never shipped; closing as NOTABUG
