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 18 Jiri Konecny 2018-11-30 08:56:01 UTC 
Hello, 

From my understanding you are installing without AppStream repository. If that is correct then this is an expected issue. The auth & authconfig KS commands could be used only with the AppStream repository used during the installation and you should use authselect instead of that.

Could you please confirm my assumption?
Comment 19 Jan Gerrit Kootstra 2018-11-30 19:09:39 UTC 
Hello Jiri,

I use the kickstart that is provided by Red Hat as a Satellite 6.4 content, I did not change anything of its content.

I have no clue of its content.

Regards,

Jan Gerrit
Comment 20 Jan Gerrit Kootstra 2018-11-30 19:26:31 UTC 
Rerunning anaconda I found Appstream content was not available on the Satellite server. Will sync the content and try a new installation.
Comment 21 Jan Gerrit Kootstra 2018-11-30 20:19:06 UTC 
adding the Appstream repository does not seem to fix the issue. 

At the start of the installation I get a warning ntp, redhat-lsb-core, wget and authselect-compat are missing from the installation source
Comment 22 Jiri Konecny 2018-12-03 10:02:09 UTC 
I asked Sattelite and they already have a bug on this issue. So closing as a duplicate.

Thanks a lot Jan for your investigation work.
