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.

Comment 2 Mike McCune 2017-10-05 12:50:52 UTC 
The issue is the values in the satellite-answers.yaml, the following is valid in 6.2 but fails in 6.3:


/etc/foreman-installer/scenarios.d/satellite-answers.yaml

katello:
 ...
  proxy_url: ''
  proxy_port: ''
  proxy_username: ''
  proxy_password: '' 

a workaround is to use blank:


  proxy_url:
  proxy_port:
  proxy_username:
  proxy_password:

but we need to either support blank values or reset these to blank if found so the upgrades won't fail as many customers had these set to "" or '' in 6.2 to reset to blank values
Comment 3 Ewoud Kohl van Wijngaarden 2017-10-05 13:52:46 UTC 
There are 2 options to solve this:
1) Create a migration in the installer to automatically fix the answers file
2) Modify the installer to properly handle empty strings

The first is the easiest and would have my preference but the second might be desired from a user perspective since users might expect that to work.

For the short term I'm going to implement 1 since it's a valid solution and allows us to quickly unblock on the beta but let me know if I should look into option 2.

Created redmine issue http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/21217 from this bug
Comment 5 Satellite Program 2017-10-09 14:33:43 UTC 
Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite 6 since the upstream issue http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/21217 has been resolved.
Comment 6 Sachin Ghai 2017-10-16 11:52:31 UTC 
Verified w/ sat6.3 snap20 and didn't hit the reported issue. I used the same db with which I found the reported issue.
