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:
There are several occurrences in the provisioning templates and snippets on the satellite where asterisks are used. One example is in the subscription_manager_registration snippet where the following line is executed

subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-*-satellite-tools-*-rpms

This is subject to shell-expansion, i.e. if a file matching the pattern above would exist for one reasons or another, the asterisks would be expanded and the provisioning would fail with a very hard-to-debug reason.

To make the line safe, the asterisks could e.g. be protected by backslash characters

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite-6.1.7

I fully agree with David, and it is a simple fix:
subscription-manager repos --enable='rhel-*-satellite-tools-*-rpms'

Good catch David :-)

Moving 6.2 bugs out to sat-backlog.
