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 2017-04-18 15:35:19 UTC

Description of problem:
Recently added as part of the solution to RFE Bug 1435013 in commit e9f8421285fc6541166065a8b55ee89b9a425246 is a new rhsm.conf configuration for rhsmcertd.splay.  The "splay" configuration is a boolean value that defaults to 1.  The subscription-manager config module is not recognizing 1 as its default configuration.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@jsefler-rhel7 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager
subscription-manager-1.19.8-1.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
[root@jsefler-rhel7 ~]# subscription-manager config --list
[server]
   hostname = [subscription.rhsm.redhat.com]
   insecure = [0]
   no_proxy = []
   port = [443]
   prefix = [/subscription]
   proxy_hostname = []
   proxy_password = []
   proxy_port = []
   proxy_user = []
   server_timeout = [180]
   ssl_verify_depth = [3]

[rhsm]
   baseurl = [https://cdn.redhat.com]
   ca_cert_dir = [/etc/rhsm/ca/]
   consumercertdir = [/etc/pki/consumer]
   entitlementcertdir = [/etc/pki/entitlement]
   full_refresh_on_yum = [0]
   manage_repos = [1]
   pluginconfdir = [/etc/rhsm/pluginconf.d]
   plugindir = [/usr/share/rhsm-plugins]
   productcertdir = [/etc/pki/product]
   repo_ca_cert = /etc/rhsm/ca/redhat-uep.pem
   report_package_profile = [1]

[rhsmcertd]
   autoattachinterval = [1440]
   certcheckinterval = [240]
   splay = 1                   <============= EXPECTED [1] NOT 1

[logging]
   default_log_level = [INFO]

[] - Default value in use



Actual results:
 above

Expected results:
 The default value of 1 for rhsmcertd splay should be encased in brackets

Additional info:
 This issue is more crucial for the upgrade scenario of subscription-manager from the prior released rhel7.3 version subscription-manager-1.17.15-1 to the latest subscription-manager-1.19.8-1 with an rhsm.conf file that has been altered.  In this case you will not see any value for the new splay configuration when you run "subscription-manager config --list", as follows...

[root@jsefler-rhel7 ~]# subscription-manager config --list | grep rhsmcertd -A10
[rhsmcertd]
   autoattachinterval = [1440]
   certcheckinterval = [240]
                                 <============= NO APPARENT DEFAULT FOR splay
[logging]
   default_log_level = [INFO]

[] - Default value in use

Comment 1 John Sefler 2017-04-18 20:30:27 UTC

Here's another check to show that the splay configuration is missing...

[root@jsefler-rhel7 ~]# subscription-manager config --help | grep rhsmcertd
  --rhsmcertd.certcheckinterval=RHSMCERTD.CERTCHECKINTERVAL
                        Section: rhsmcertd, Name: certcheckinterval
  --rhsmcertd.autoattachinterval=RHSMCERTD.AUTOATTACHINTERVAL
                        Section: rhsmcertd, Name: autoattachinterval
[root@jsefler-rhel7 ~]# 


EXPECTED THESE TWO ADDITIONAL LINES...
  --rhsmcertd.splay=RHSMCERTD.SPLAY
                        Section: rhsmcertd, Name: splay

Comment 2 John Sefler 2017-04-18 20:32:15 UTC

Also expecting bash completion to work...

[root@jsefler-rhel7 ~]# subscription-manager config --rhsmcertd.<TAB><TAB>
--rhsmcertd.autoattachinterval  --rhsmcertd.certcheckinterval   


EXPECTED AN ADDITIONAL BASH COMPLETION FOR...
--rhsmcertd.splay
