Description jcallaha 2016-04-15 15:18:33 UTC
Description of problem:
We do not current enable remote execution on capsule installs. With this being a default feature for Satellite, we should enable it by default for capsules, too.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 6.2 Beta Snap 8 Compose 1.

How reproducible:
Install a capsule

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup a Capsule without specifying the remote execution plugin should be enabled.
2. Check to see if the remote execution feature was enabled

Actual results:
Remote Execution was not enabled.

Expected results:
Remote execution was installed.

the installer flag should be
--enable-foreman-proxy-plugin-remote-execution-ssh

Comment 4 Mike McCune 2016-05-16 06:08:52 UTC
Capsules are intended to be more flexible in their deployment model and I don't think we should necessarily require by default that REX be enabled on the capsule.

I'm going to remove the blocker flag and keep this under consideration for 6.2.z as we get feedback from customers.

Comment 11 jcallaha 2017-07-13 13:09:01 UTC
It could be best to allow capsules to be as minimal/flexible as possible. In this sense, if a customer doesn't want to have RE enabled on their capsules, they shouldn't have to explicitly define that during installation. 

I am going to close this as not a bug. If a customer requests that this be implemented, they are welcome to open a case and we can revisit the proposal at that time.
