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 of problem:

Currently, the only way to add hosts to a compliance policy is via the Hosts page, selecting them and using the Assign Compliance Policy action. This should be exposed in the REST API too either on the Hosts or Policies object.


The underlying request of that action currently goes to /compliance/policies/update_multiple_hosts but needs a rails authenticity token so is complex to use programmatically.

This is limiting automation in the customer's environment.


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


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:

The compliance policy of Satellite hosts can't be managed through API. This is limiting the automation process in the customer's environment.
Expected results:

Expose options in API to manage compliance policy of hosts registered to Satellite server.


Additional info:

Thank you for submitting this RFE. We already track this request as #1485805, therefore I will close as a duplicate. The resolution of linked BZ makes it possible to add a single host to a policy using API or hammer command (see 'hammer policy update --help' or policies apidoc for details).

Feel free to reopen if the solution in related BZ does not work for you or you would like to expose updating policies for host on a host object.
