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 John Sefler 2016-03-08 19:06:38 UTC 
Description of problem:
This issue is a side affect of the RHEL7.2 work done on subscription-manager-initial-setup-addon-1.15 which was then back ported to subscription-manager-firstboot-1.16 for RHEL6.8.

See the attached screenshot

When traversing through firstboot, the "Choose Service" panel contains a "Proxy Setup" tool which is not owned by subscription-manager, but the information is passed onto the next panel, "Subscription Management Registration", which is owned by subscription-manager-firstboot where there is another "Proxy Configuration" tool that is effectively redundant.

The problem is that when a user starts using the Back and Forward buttons, the data in the proxy dialog text fields remain sticky, and the data is not designed to be transferred Backward.

The solution is to restore the same behavior from RHEL6.7 by removing the "Configure Proxy" box on the Subscription Management Registration panel.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@jsefler-6 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager-firstboot
subscription-manager-firstboot-1.16.8-4.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. firstboot
2.
3.

Actual results:
two tools to configure a proxy


Expected results:
one proxy setup tool (prior to the Subscription Management Registration panel).
