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.

Section Number and Name: 
Table 1.5. Ports for Client to Satellite Communication

Describe the issue: 
The document states that port 9090 is required for "Sending SCAP reports to the Smart Proxy in the integrated Capsule and for the discovery image during provisioning".

While it is required for other reason as well like while registering the client to satellite (using bootstrap and passing --rex parameter to copy the ssh keys on the host while registering). 

Assuming it is only required for openscap and provisioning one might not enable the port and since this can affect the client and the ssh keys will not get copied. 

Suggestions for improvement: 
Including openscap and provisioning, the description should also mention that the port 9090 is required for communicating with the satellite to get/copy the ssh keys for rex configuration (while registering using bootstrap).
