Actual results:
Failed to send host/guest mapping info to SAM as "Unable to send data: Communication with subscription manager failed with code 403: User admin is not allowed to access api/v1/systems/hypervisors_update
"

Comment 1 David Descamps 2017-03-01 18:21:05 UTC
Hello,

After poking arround in the code, I've found that replacing

        :hypervisors_update               => consumer_only,
with
        :hypervisors_update               => register_system,

in file /usr/share/katello/app/controllers/api/v1/systems_controller.rb

seems to allow virt-who to register hypervisors correctly.

This seems logical to me, as SAM does not have the "consumer" system present in Satelitte.

Can someone from RedHat confirm that this "fix" is the right thing to do to correct this issue?

Comment 3 Bryan Kearney 2017-06-26 20:40:12 UTC
The release of Satellite 5.8 we are deprecating the support of Subscription Asset Manager. The release notes for 5.8 can be found at https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/5.8/pdf/release_notes/Red_Hat_Satellite-5.8-Release_Notes-en-US.pdf.

I am therefore closing out this bug as WONTFIX. If you believe this to be an error, please feel free tor each out to either Rich Jerrido or Bryan Kearney. Thank you!
