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 Matthew Harmsen 2016-01-29 17:33:13 UTC 
PKIConnection uses python-requests to handle HTTP connections to the server. requests inspects env vars such as http_proxy and https_proxy for HTTP proxy server location, REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE and CURL_CA_BUNDLE to override the trust store location as well as ~/.netrc for authentication. This can cause hard to debug issues such as installation failures. See https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/5555 for background.

The feature can be disabled easily: https://requests.readthedocs.org/en/latest/api/?highlight=trust_env#requests.Session.trust_env

I propose to have it disabled by default. It's a one line fix (two with comment, three if we want a flag in PKIConnection.__init__()).

Tested it by setting HTTP_PROXY / HTTPS_PROXY variable before running pkispawn.

pkispawn succeeds with no errors. Hence marking it as verified.

Tested with the following build:

pki-base.noarch          10.3.3-5.el7
