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). 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 Ian Tewksbury 2017-01-20 11:50:40 UTC 
Description of problem:

When putting a load balancer in front of Satellite Capsules that have the Puppet feature the Puppet Certs for those Satellite Capsules must all have a DNS Alternative Name of the load balanced FQDN included in the Puppet certificate for hosts to be able to communicate to the Satellite Capsules via the load balanced FQDN.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.2.4

How reproducible:
RFE, always

Work Around:

1) On Capsule Server  : Run the `satellite-installer --scenario capsule`
2) On Satellite Server: `puppet cert clean $(hostname -f)`
3) On Satellite Server: `puppet cert generate $HOSTNAME --dns_alt_names=capsule.example.net,capsule.example.org`

Request:
add a --dns-alt-names (or equivlant) flag to the satellite-installer to be able to specify dns-alt names as part of the satellite-installer process
Comment 2 Stephen Benjamin 2017-01-23 14:37:33 UTC 
This will be available in Satellite 6.3.

Puppet configuration is managed using the 'puppet' puppet class inside the installer, but it's not exposed as a top-level option to the user in current versions of Satellite.  That many change so these would all be available as '--puppet-<parameter name>', but starting in *6.3*, we have a solution for any of the classes using hiera.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1305782#c14 and comments 15 and 16 for an understanding of how this works, but it's essentially a single YAML file in /etc/foreman-installer/custom-hiera.conf.

You can look at /etc/foreman-installer/modules/puppet/manifests/init.pp to see what can be set for the puppet class.


The DNS alt names option is one of the ones available.  So, in your case, the custom-hiera.conf would look like:

---
puppet::dns_alt_names: ['foo1.example.com', 'foo2.example.com']

Stephen,

Thank you. So to be clear this will not be available until Sat 6.3 correct?

Blue Skies,
~Ian

For right now, that's the plan.
