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 Jan Stavel 2018-02-01 11:08:27 UTC 
Description of problem:

  Before a system is registered 
     and no proxy is used
  When I set a wrong proxy_hostname
    and I call dbus method Unregister
  Then the dbus should give me an error kind of 'Resolution of host failed'

How to reproduce:

[root@jstavel-rhel7-server ~]# subscription-manager register --username stage_jstavel_demo01 --password redhat
Registering to: subscription.rhsm.stage.redhat.com:443/subscription
The system has been registered with ID: a30016a9-3934-468f-8db9-c0676c92128b
The registered system name is: jstavel-rhel7-server


[root@jstavel-rhel7-server ~]# perl -pi -e 's/(proxy_hostname[\ ]*=).*$/proxy_hostname = wrong.auto-services.usersys.redhat.com/' /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf


[root@jstavel-rhel7-server ~]# dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest='com.redhat.RHSM1' /com/redhat/RHSM1/Unregister com.redhat.RHSM1.Unregister.Unregister dict:string:string:'','' string:'en'
method return time=1517482844.058483 sender=:1.16629 -> destination=:1.16644 serial=3 reply_serial=2

Actual results:

The method Unregister unregisters the system even the proxy connection is set as wrong.

Expected results:

some kind of 'Unresolved hostname error' should appear after dbus method Unregister is called.

Comment 2 Kevin Howell 2018-02-01 15:35:36 UTC 
Jan, if the config change is made via D-BUS, does the D-BUS call work as expected?
Comment 3 Jan Stavel 2018-02-01 15:54:29 UTC 
Hello Kevin,
no it does not reflect a config change either in this case.

[root@jstavel-rhel7-server ~]# subscription-manager register --username stage_jstavel_demo01 --password redhat

  Registering to: subscription.rhsm.stage.redhat.com:443/subscription
  The system has been registered with ID: 679802df-c3ee-4722-8671-cbb385a76b4d
  The registered system name is: jstavel-rhel7-server

[root@jstavel-rhel7-server ~]# less /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf

[root@jstavel-rhel7-server ~]# dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest='com.redhat.RHSM1' /com/redhat/RHSM1/Unregister com.redhat.RHSM1.Unregister.Unregister dict:string:string:'','' string:'en'

  method return time=1517500345.259415 sender=:1.16814 -> destination=:1.16818 serial=4 reply_serial=2
Comment 4 Kevin Howell 2018-02-05 16:12:24 UTC 
Jan, if the user is in an environment where they must use a proxy, can the user successfully unregister?
Comment 5 Jan Stavel 2018-02-05 17:38:04 UTC 
Hi Kevin


```shell


[root@jstavel-rhel7-server ~]# perl -pi -e 's/(proxy_port[\ ]*=).*$/proxy_port = 3129/' /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf
[root@jstavel-rhel7-server ~]# perl -pi -e 's/(proxy_hostname[\ ]*=).*$/proxy_hostname = auto-services.usersys.redhat.com/' /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf
[root@jstavel-rhel7-server ~]# systemctl restart rhsm.service
[root@jstavel-rhel7-server ~]# subscription-manager register --username stage_jstavel_demo01 --password redhat
Registering to: subscription.rhsm.stage.redhat.com:443/subscription
The system has been registered with ID: 1db598c4-28db-4bdd-bb0a-468bfc20bc5c
The registered system name is: jstavel-rhel7-server
[root@jstavel-rhel7-server ~]# subscription-manager unregister
Unregistering from: subscription.rhsm.stage.redhat.com:443/subscription
System has been unregistered.

```

Is this you wanted to try?

an auxilliary systemd service to let rhsm service log appear in systemd ecosystem

It helps me to apply a time window to log outputs of rhsm service.

systemd configuration
Comment 8 Jan Stavel 2018-02-06 10:29:38 UTC 
In the following scenarions a systemd service 'tail-f-rhsm-log' comes to play.
It helps me to put a time window onto /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log file.

Before:
- copy tail-f-rhsm.log.sh into /root/bin/
- copy tail-f-rhsm-log.service into /etc/systemd/system
- reload a systemd: systemctl daemon-reload
- start the service: systemctl start tail-f-rhsm-log.service

Once I add 'iptables -A OUTPUt -d subscription.rhsm.stage.redhat.com -j REJECT' into the origin scenarion a dbus call fails with an error 'Connection refused'


The scenarion follows:

[root@jstavel-rhel7-server ~]# subscription-manager register --username stage_jstavel_demo01 --password redhat

Comment 9 Jan Stavel 2018-02-06 10:41:01 UTC 
The previous scenarions has just confirmed that dbus service 'rhsm' does not reflects changes made in /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf. It tried to connect a candlepin server directly.
Comment 10 Kevin Howell 2018-02-08 15:25:10 UTC 
Seems like a dupe of bug 1504588. Please reopen if you disagree.
