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 John Sefler 2018-03-12 18:24:18 UTC 
Description of problem:
During the implementation of RFE Bug 1461003 which was used to remove the ability to register with a non-system consumer type, we lost the ability to register with --type=RHUI.  Subsequent Bug 1485008 attempted to restore the ability to register with --type=RHUI but failed to restore enough to pass the data to the candlepin server.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@jsefler-rhel7server ~]# subscription-manager version
server type: Red Hat Subscription Management
subscription management server: 2.2.2-1
subscription management rules: 5.26
subscription-manager: 1.20.10-1.el7


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
[root@jsefler-rhel7server ~]# subscription-manager register --serverurl=subscription.rhsm.stage.redhat.com:443/subscription --username=stage_sku_test_475 --type=RHUI
Registering to: subscription.rhsm.stage.redhat.com:443/subscription
Password: 
The system has been registered with ID: 13b64e5d-ec73-4f2c-9b5e-95312a93935a
The registered system name is: jsefler-rhel7server.usersys.redhat.com
[root@jsefler-rhel7server ~]# 
[root@jsefler-rhel7server ~]# curl -k --stderr /dev/null --cert /etc/pki/consumer/cert.pem --key /etc/pki/consumer/key.pem 'https://subscription.rhsm.stage.redhat.com:443/subscription/consumers/13b64e5d-ec73-4f2c-9b5e-95312a93935a?include=type' | python -m json.tool

        "id": "0",
        "label": "system",     <========== EXPECTED "RHUI"
        "manifest": false
    }
}

Additional info:

This appears to be the offending commit that omitted the type=self.options.consumer during the creation of the consumer from the service.register/admin_cp.registerConsumer:   https://github.com/candlepin/subscription-manager/commit/81594f3700894cfc95583787499ac7c7a9d69146
