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.

Fixed In Version: subscription-manager-1.20.10-1
Doc Type: Release Note
Doc Text:
*subscription-manager* now protects all product certificates in `/etc/pki/product-default/` Previously, the *subscription-manager* utility only protected those product certificates provided by the _redhat-release_ package whose tag matched `rhel-#`. Consequently, product certificates such as `RHEL-ALT` or `High Touch Beta` were sometimes removed from the `/etc/pki/product-default/` directory by the `product-id yum` plugin. With this update, *subscription-manager* has been modified to protect all certificates in `/etc/pki/product-default/` against automatic removal.

Description John Sefler 2017-12-15 21:28:20 UTC
Description of problem:

In the scenario demonstrated below, you will see that the product cert provided by the redhat-release package for a RHEL-ALT beta compose is actually deleted by the productid yum plugin.  In the scenario you will see that the beta eng product 363 for RHEL-ALT-7.5 is deleted while eng product 419 from the current released content for RHEL-ALT-7.4 is added as a result of yum installing a single package from the CDN.  This behavior is not desirable...  We should NOT be deleting the /etc/pki/product-default/363.pem cert.

This bug is a proposal to alter the productid plugin logic to protect the removal of any product cert that has been provided by a package.  For example: since /etc/pki/product-default/363.pem is provided by redhat-release-server-7.5-1.el7a.aarch64, it should never be deleted.

In the offending scenario below, the proper behavior would be for both eng products 363 and 419 to be installed following the yum install of a sample package.


It is also worth noting that the beta eng product 363 lacks a tag matching regex "rhel-\d+" that currently makes it susceptible from deletion.  One could suggest that RCM add an additional tag to the beta product cert to protect it from deletion by the productid plugin.  However this is a bad idea in light of the proposal in Bug 1525238 which suggests to relinquish the protection of "rhel-#" tagged product certs from deletion.  The smarter logic for the productid plugin would be to protect product certs that are provided by an installed package (e.g. the one(s) in /etc/pki/product-default/ provided by redhat-release).

Actual results:
  BANG! All traces of the prior installed beta product 363 are now gone.
  As a result of installing one package from the current CDN repo rhel-7-for-arm-64-rpms, eng product 419 was installed and the default eng id 363 was removed.

Expected results:
  Both the default product cert 363 should be installed together with the new product cert 419 from the entitled repo.

Comment 3 Jiri Hnidek 2018-01-24 14:43:38 UTC
I added link to PR with quite complicated implementation of bug fix (all product certificates provided by RPM are protected). Another and not so complicated implementation will be provided soon (all prod. certs in /etc/pki/product-default will be protected).

Comment 4 Jiri Hnidek 2018-01-24 15:29:53 UTC
I'm attaching link to Github PR with simple implementation as I promised.

Comment 7 Shwetha Kallesh 2018-01-31 16:18:24 UTC
Moving bug to verified as product cert 363.pem is not removed from /etc/pki/product-default and 419.pem is installed as well
