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.
Incorrect certificate file for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server for Power
The cryptographic (public key) certificate file provided by Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server for Power, little endian 7.2 Beta contains an incorrect product identification tag. As a consequence, systems are unable to access the Beta content available online. To work around this problem, copy the updated certificate file onto the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server for Power, little endian 7.2 Beta system following successful installation, but prior to registering the system with Red Hat Subscription Manager. Detailed instructions and the correct certificate file are available at https://access.redhat.com/articles/1603533
Description of problem:
As a continuation of Bug 1245052, the redhat-release-server-7.2 needs to be re-built to provide the correct product cert

RHEL 7.2 Beta Product Cert for ppc64le
As a workaround for an already installed RHEL7.2 Beta system on ppc64le, I have attached the corrected product certificate.
Simply detach it and place it in the /etc/pki/product/ directory. This will take precedence over the bad 279.pem file located in /etc/pki/product-default/ directory.
To verify it has been installed correctly...
[root@jsefler-7 ~]# rct cat-cert /etc/pki/product/279.pem | grep Tags
Tags: rhel-7,rhel-7-ibm-power-le
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Those are the expected tags.
