Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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 Jiri Vavra 2018-05-11 12:38:37 UTC 
Description of problem:
Satellite is not able to connect to CDN via HTTP proxy which scans content (which changes SSL certificates)
Similar to RFE https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1408815 but this is to include Red Hat repositories.
This functionality was included in Satellite 5


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 6.3


Additional info (by customer):

- Satellite 6 uses Pulp to sync repositories.
- In our case (and probably more enterprises) Pulp must communicate with repositories on the Internet through a HTTP-proxy.
- The HTTP-proxy operates as a MITM to do content scanning of HTTPS-websites.
- Therefor Pulp sees the SSL-certificate of the HTTP-proxy instead of the SSL-cert of the remote website.
- For some reason Pulp is only configured to use its own directory (/etc/pki/pulp/content)  for known SSL-certs.
- Setting 'global_cert_location' to '/etc/pki/tls/certs' makes Pulp also use the system-wide SSL-certs as expected.
Comment 2 Rich Jerrido 2018-12-14 16:33:38 UTC 
Is there any reason why dont just add the CA certificate of the MITM device to /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/ and run update-ca-trust afterwards? That's the standard way to add a 3rd party CA to the systemwide store - see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1519813

We have added the MITM CA-cert in the way you describe but the Pulp configuration coming with Satellite isn't configured to use the systemwide store. That's why we changed the global_cert_location.
Comment 5 David Davis 2019-10-31 12:45:31 UTC 
Looking at the Pulp 2 code it doesn't appear Pulp looks at the systemwide cert store when syncing repos. I think the solution would be to have Katello allow users to set certs for RH repos like they do for custom repos:

Comment 7 Bryan Kearney 2019-11-04 14:01:07 UTC 
Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and while we recognize that it is a valid request, we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. This is due to other priorities for the product, and not a reflection on the request itself. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please do not reopen. Instead, feel free to contact Red Hat Technical Support. Thank you.
