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.
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1382355 +++
When an exception occurs on the candlepin server during an auto-attach attempt, the subscription-manager CLI provides no indication that the error occurred. It simply states “Unable to find available subscriptions for all your installed products.” -- hiding the error (if one occurred).
The CLI should report that it didn't find any subscriptions because an error occurred, including what was reported in the response's error message.
Currently subscription-manager CLI is swallowing the returned exception and carrying on.
This fix is particularly important for displaying errors such as "Autobind is disabled for owner X".
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Disable autobind for an owner
$ curl -X PUT -k -u username:password -d '{"autobindDisabled":true}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://localhost:8443/candlepin/owners/your_owner_key
2. Register a consumer with the auto-attach option
sudo subscription-manager register --user USERNAME --pass PASSWORD --org YOUR_ORG --auto-attach
Actual results:
Looking in the /etc/rhsm/rhsm.log you will see an error stating that Autobind was disabled for your owner, but the CLI doesn't report the error.
Registraion will complete (as it should), but the CLI will report “Unable to find available subscriptions for all your installed products.” -- no hint as to why.
Expected results:
The CLI should report a message as to what happened.
