QA NOTES:

Turn of token duration to zero, provision a system, make sure Anaconda downloaded kickstart via Capsule (port 8000).

Why does this BZ exist? What is the bug, what is supposed to be fixed? And why is it named the same as bug 1405502, is also for 6.3, but is a distinct BZ?

Lukáš, this patch fixes provisioning via Capsule when token duration Setting is set to 0 (turned off). In this mode, Foreman looks up hosts via REMOTE IP instead of unique token (UUID). To verify, turn off tokens and do provisioning - make sure all communication is done via Capsule (including templating - kickstart).

Case 1: PXE installation of RHEL

Case 2: Image-based installation via finish script (cloud or virt)

FailedQA with Sat6.3 snap 32.

When running "curl http://<CAPSULE_FQDN>:8000/unattended/finish", 500 ISE is returned. That is probably due to Satellite thinking it should serve finish script for the Capsule based on its IP (and thus returning 405) while it should actually return a finish script for the client.

Tested on a Beaker machine (so, not behind a NAT - if I am incorrect, this whole FailsQA is errorneous). Note the "Found" part of the log.

It works, we just forgot one last step. In Administer - Setting, you must set remote_addr (Remote address) to match IP address of proxy server (in this case Capsule):

(127.0.0.1|10.16.66.70)

Then it works, I just verified.
