Subscription manager now respects `proxy_port` settings from `rhsm.conf` Previously, subscription manager did not respect changes to the default `proxy_port` configuration from the `/etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf` file. Consequently, the default value of 3128 was used even after the user had changed the value of `proxy_port`. With this update, the underlying source code has been fixed, and subscription manager now respects changes to the default `proxy_port` configuration. However, making any change to the `proxy_port` value in `/etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf` requires an selinux policy change. To avoid selinux denials when changing the default `proxy_port`, run this command for the benefit of the `rhsmcertd` daemon process: semanage port -a -t squid_port_t -p tcp <new_proxy_port>
Description of problem: proxy_port settings from rhsm.conf are not respected by subscription manager. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): subscription-manager-1.20.11-1.el7_5.x86_64 subscription-manager-rhsm-1.20.11-1.el7_5.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. set proxy in rhsm.conf proxy_port = 8080 (different than 3128) and proxy host 2. try to register with satellite Actual results: Default proxy port is used. connect(6, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(3128), sin_addr=inet_addr("XXXX")}, 16) = -1 EINPROGRESS (Operation now in progress) Proxy connection failed, please check your settings. Expected results: Honoring proxy port settings and registering with satellite. Additional info: Pull request for upstream provided - https://github.com/candlepin/subscription-manager/pull/1816

Marie, As currently written, the doc text is not conveying the information that the user needs to know. Let's try again.... Subscription manager does not respect `proxy_port` settings from rhsm.conf Subscription manager does not respect changes to the default `proxy_port` configuration from /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf. Even after the user changed the value of `proxy_port`, the default value of 3128 was continually being used. This bug has now been fixed. However, making any change to the proxy_port value in /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf will likely require an selinux policy change. The user should run this additional step for the benefit of the `rhsmcertd` daemon process to avoid selinux denials whenever changing the default `proxy_port` configuration away from 3128. semanage port -a -t squid_port_t -p tcp <new_proxy_port>

I modified it a little bit to meet our documentation conventions. I just put the beginning into the past tense - if I understand it well, it was previous behavior (the bug) that was fixed so it's not happening now and should be in the past tense. Is that correct? Thank you! Marie
