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.

Comment 3 Christina Fu 2018-08-02 18:55:35 UTC
test procedure:

Since this is only a Usage description update, you can just run the HttpClient at command line and see the resulting Usage info.  Compare that with what it used to produce.

Here is the review link where you could see what has been updated in Usage:

host=host.example.com

#port: port number
port=8443

#secure: true for secure connection, false for nonsecure connection
secure=false

#input: full path for the enrollment request, the content must be in binary format
input=~/cmcReqCRMFBin

#output: full path for the response in binary format
#output could be parsed by running CMCResponse
output=~/cmcResp

#dbdir: directory for NSS certificate/key databases
#This parameter will be ignored if secure=false
dbdir=/.dogtag/nssdb

#password: password for NSS database
#This parameter will be ignored if secure=false and clientmode=false
password=

#tokenname: name of token where SSL client authentication cert for nickname can be found (default is internal)
#This parameter will be ignored if secure=false

clientmode=false

#nickname: nickname for client certificate
#This parameter will be ignored if clientmode=false
nickname=

#servlet: target URL
#This parameter may include query parameters;
#  - reminder: profileId should be a profile that matches
#    the intended certificate; for certificates intended
#    for SSL (client or server), profiles should match
#    the key type (RSA or EC) of the keys generated for CSR;
