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 of problem:
Even when --rhsm.auto_enable_yum_plugins=0 is set in rhsm.conf file yum plugins are automatically enabled after you execute RHSM commands
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@hp-dl160g8-1 ~]# subscription-manager version
server type: This system is currently not registered.
subscription management server: 2.2.0-1
subscription management rules: 5.26
subscription-manager: 1.20.2-1.el7
python-rhsm: 1.20.2-1.el7
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
Disable the subscription-manager yum plugin and verify:
[root@hp-dl160g8-1 ~]# sed -i s/enabled=./enabled=0/g /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/subscription-manager.conf
[root@hp-dl160g8-1 ~]# grep enabled /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/subscription-manager.conf
enabled=0
Turn off the auto_enable_yum_plugins=0 configuration and verify
[root@hp-dl160g8-1 ~]# subscription-manager config --rhsm.auto_enable_yum_plugins=0
WARNING
The yum plugins: /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/subscription-manager.conf were automatically enabled for the benefit of Red Hat Subscription Management. If not desired, use "subscription-manager config --rhsm.auto_enable_yum_plugins=0" to block this behavior.
[root@hp-dl160g8-1 ~]# cat /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf | grep auto_enable_yum_plugins
auto_enable_yum_plugins = 0
Run any sub-man cmd :
[root@hp-dl160g8-1 ~]# subscription-manager clean
All local data removed
Now very if yum plugin remains disabled:
[root@hp-dl160g8-1 ~]# grep enabled /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/subscription-manager.conf
enabled=1
Actual results:
enabled=1
Expected results:
enabled=0
Additional info:
This is ironically funny... subscription-manager config is automatically enabling the disabled yum plugins while in the process of turning off the rhsm.auto_enable_yum_plugins configuration in rhsm.conf to prevent subscription-manager from automatically enabling the yum plugins.
