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 2016-12-09 22:23:19 UTC
Description of problem:

Rule... Specifying subscription-manager proxy options on the command line takes precedence over proxy configurations within the rhsm.conf file, which in turn take precedence over proxy environment variables.

If this rule is true, then there is a logic error within subscription-manger when executing the Case 3 below...

Case 1: specify proxy configurations in the rhsm.conf file only....

Case 2: specify proxy values on the command line only....

Case 3: specify proxy values on the command *and* the rhsm.conf file.  The command line values should trump the rhsm.conf file values yielding the same response as case 2, but this is not what happens....

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@jsefler-rhel6 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager python-rhsm
subscription-manager-1.18.6-1.el6.x86_64
python-rhsm-1.18.6-1.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:

Case 1: specify proxy configurations in the rhsm.conf file only....
[root@jsefler-rhel6 ~]# subscription-manager config --server.proxy_hostname="invalid" --server.proxy_port="123" --server.proxy_user="red" --server.proxy_password="hat"
[root@jsefler-rhel6 ~]# subscription-manager register --username=joe --password=blo
Registering to: subscription.rhsm.redhat.com:443/subscription
Network error, unable to connect to server. Please see /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log for more information.
[root@jsefler-rhel6 ~]# echo $?
70


Case 2: specify proxy values on the command line only....
[root@jsefler-rhel6 ~]# subscription-manager config --server.proxy_hostname="" --server.proxy_port="" --server.proxy_user="" --server.proxy_password=""
[root@jsefler-rhel6 ~]# subscription-manager register --username=joe --password=blo --proxy=invalid:123 --proxyuser=red --proxypassword=hat
Proxy connection failed, please check your settings.
[root@jsefler-rhel6 ~]# echo $?
69


Case 3: specify proxy values on the command *and* the rhsm.conf file.  The command line values should trump the rhsm.conf file values yielding the same response as case 2, but this is not what happens....

[root@jsefler-rhel6 ~]# subscription-manager config --server.proxy_hostname="invalid" --server.proxy_port="123" --server.proxy_user="red" --server.proxy_password="hat"
[root@jsefler-rhel6 ~]# subscription-manager register --username=joe --password=blo --proxy=invalid:123 --proxyuser=red --proxypassword=hat
Unable to reach the server at subscription.rhsm.redhat.com:443/subscription
[root@jsefler-rhel6 ~]# echo $?
69



Actual results:
Unable to reach the server at subscription.rhsm.redhat.com:443/subscription

Expected results:
Proxy connection failed, please check your settings.

Expected the response for case 3 to be equivalent to case 2.  The fact that there are three different responses for the three cases indicates to me that when specifying proxy options on the command line does not truly trump the configurations set in rhsm.conf.

Comment 3 John Sefler 2017-01-17 19:44:29 UTC
Verifying Version...
[root@jsefler-rhel6 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager 
subscription-manager-1.18.7-1.el6.x86_64
[root@jsefler-rhel6 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager --changelog | grep 1403387
- 1403387: Fix proxy conn test short-circuit (csnyder)
[root@jsefler-rhel6 ~]# 

Re-testing the three cases from comment 0...
 
Case 1: specify proxy configurations in the rhsm.conf file only....
[root@jsefler-rhel6 ~]# subscription-manager config --server.proxy_hostname="invalid" --server.proxy_port="123" --server.proxy_user="red" --server.proxy_password="hat"
[root@jsefler-rhel6 ~]# subscription-manager register --username=joe --password=blo
Registering to: subscription.rhsm.redhat.com:443/subscription
Network error, unable to connect to server. Please see /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log for more information.
[root@jsefler-rhel6 ~]# echo $?
70


Case 2: specify proxy values on the command line only....
[root@jsefler-rhel6 ~]# subscription-manager config --server.proxy_hostname="" --server.proxy_port="" --server.proxy_user="" --server.proxy_password=""
[root@jsefler-rhel6 ~]# subscription-manager register --username=joe --password=blo --proxy=invalid:123 --proxyuser=red --proxypassword=hat
Proxy connection failed, please check your settings.
[root@jsefler-rhel6 ~]# echo $?
69


Case 3: specify proxy values on the command *and* the rhsm.conf file.  The command line values should trump the rhsm.conf file values yielding the same response as case 2. Let's verify....
[root@jsefler-rhel6 ~]# subscription-manager config --server.proxy_hostname="invalid" --server.proxy_port="123" --server.proxy_user="red" --server.proxy_password="hat"
[root@jsefler-rhel6 ~]# subscription-manager register --username=joe --password=blo --proxy=invalid:123 --proxyuser=red --proxypassword=hat
Proxy connection failed, please check your settings.
[root@jsefler-rhel6 ~]# echo $?
69


VERIFIED! Case 3 results are identical to Case 2 indicating that the specifying the proxy args on the command line do indeed trump the values set in the rhsm.conf.
