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).

Edit the configuration file /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf, changing the example values with those specific to your environment.

rhsm_username=virt_who-admin                
rhsm_encrypted_password=bd257f93d@482B76e6390cc54aec1a4d  
rhsm_prefix=/rhsm  
===
Configuration should be made in /etc/virt-who.d/ hypervisor configuration file instead of /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf 

Suggestions for improvement: Change the configuration file name

Additional information:

Alexey,

Thanks for reporting this issue. The same issue was reported in another BZ ticket by Kathryn Dixon. I fixed it while working on that BZ ticket, and the corrected instructions are now available in the published Virtual Instances Guide. For example: the RHEV instructions are available at [1]. The same correction has been made for all hypervisors.
