From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050323 Firefox/1.0.2 Fedora/1.0.2-1.3.1 Description of problem: I test provisioning : in "Advanced options" i changed url : --url://<url of my satellite> to url : --url://<my rhn proxy> ... I would like that provisioning will pass by my rhn proxy 3.7 and not directly vy my satellite 3.7 ... But change has not taken effect ... url has not changed ... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. system -> kickstart -> profile -> options -> Advanced options 2. I changed "http://my-satellite-url/kickstart/dist/ks-rhel-i386-as-3/ to "http://my-rhn-proxy-url/kickstart/dist/ks-rhel-i386-as-3/" 3. click on update kickstart button 4. nothing has changed Actual Results: if url field is empty, it's ok, but if url field is not empty, so it will be all the time static value "http://my-satellite-url/kickstart/dist/ks-rhel-i386-as-3/" and not other else Expected Results: when clickin on update kickstart button, changes will be done for url field Additional info:
Correct - just going through this with a 3.7 Satellite with a 3.7 Proxy registered to it. - register a system via the proxy to the Satellite - click onto system and go to kickstart - secnd screen has option : Select RHN Proxy: Choose either None or the RHN Proxy system you wish to kickstart through and proceed. The kickstart profile will be automatically re-written when being sent to the client with the RHN Proxy information rather than the Satellite server url details. The bug as reported is not a true bug, but expected and correct behaviour. If you edit the kickstart URL in the advanced options, you by default will *not* see the change when you go to view the kickstart profile within the webUI. this is because this field is dynamically generated and puts in the URL of the Satellite you typed within the web browser to view the kickstart profile, so use hostname and you will see hostname listed, use IP address and see IP address listed. Examples: rlx-1-14 = RHN Proxy 3.7 rlx-1-24 = RHN Satellite 3.7 Type in browser: https://rlx-1-24.rhndev.redhat.com/kickstart/ks/label/rhel4-as-gold See: url --url http://rlx-1-24.rhndev.redhat.com/ty/hMUZWMzn Type in browser (IP of rlx-1-24): https://192.168.36.124/kickstart/ks/label/rhel4-as-gold See: url --url http://192.168.36.124/ty/RjqvTOTT Type in browser: https://rlx-1-14.rhndev.redhat.com/kickstart/ks/label/rhel4-as-gold See: url --url http://rlx-1-14.rhndev.redhat.com/ty/0ky3qhOY - the rhn proxy forwarded the request to the Satellite to get the kickstart profile and it was written and presented with the kickstart file with the url as the RHN Proxy system by the Satellite, given back to the proxy apache to present to the requester. Hopefully this all makes sense. let me know if you got anything else. Cliff.
