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 Shwetha Kallesh 2017-04-18 13:06:20 UTC 
Description of problem:

register --force option , doesnot actually re-register when provided with --serverurl option

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@cisco-b200m1-03 ~]# subscription-manager version
server type: Red Hat Subscription Management
subscription management server: 0.9.51.21-1
subscription management rules: 5.15.1
subscription-manager: 1.19.8-1.git.0.c0a0804.el7
python-rhsm: 1.19.5-1.git.0.c0a0804.el7


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
[root@cisco-b200m1-03 ~]# subscription-manager register --force
Registering to: Shwetha-candlepin.usersys.redhat.com:8443/candlepin
Username: admin
Password: 
Organization: admin
The system has been registered with ID: cc388e8c-2205-49c7-82ab-9601e0bb4618 
[root@cisco-b200m1-03 ~]# subscription-manager register --serverurl subscription.rhsm.stage.redhat.com:443/subscription
This system is already registered. Use --force to override
[root@cisco-b200m1-03 ~]# subscription-manager register --serverurl subscription.rhsm.stage.redhat.com:443/subscription --force
Invalid credentials.

Remove the consumer certs manually, and see that system is registered successfully
[root@cisco-b200m1-03 ~]# rm -rf /etc/pki/consumer/*

[root@cisco-b200m1-03 ~]# subscription-manager register --serverurl subscription.rhsm.stage.redhat.com:443/subscription --force
Registering to: subscription.rhsm.stage.redhat.com:443/subscription
Username: qa
Password: 
The system has been registered with ID: fc629706-9ed2-49fe-95c5-b1e7a08b3863

Actual results:
invalid credentials error

Expected results:
system should register successfully

Comment 4 John Sefler 2017-04-18 16:03:26 UTC 
Agreed! This is a Regression affecting many automated tests.

The last time this worked as expected was with...
subscription-manager-1.19.4-1.el7.x86_64

I suspect the commit 3b0586f9c15fa5fbb0291f6b50fa444b496a34a7 for Bug 1429657 might be the cause.
Comment 5 Kevin Howell 2017-04-26 17:48:40 UTC 
Shwetha et al,

After some discussion with bcourt and jsefler, here is what we decided: the use case of switching from one entitlement server to another should be handled with two commands: unregister and then register. What we would like to change as part of this bug is making it clear what is happening with `register --force`, and especially, providing more details when a failure happens.

Pseudo-example:

Unregistering from: candlepin.example.com:8443/candlepin using identity {uuid}.
Unable to unregister: Invalid credentials.
