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.

Description Japheth Cleaver 2019-05-11 22:09:46 UTC 
Description of problem:
Selecting profile = xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_ospp during RHEL8 on a system attached (properly, as far as I can tell) to a RedHat Developer Subscription results in upgrades failing with repo cache errors.


Reinstalling with no security profile selected allows it to work without issue.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
subscription-manager-1.23.8-35.el8.x86_64 from RHEL8 release DVD ISO

How reproducible: 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Perform RHEL8 install using OSPP security profile
2. Register system to RH account, under "Red Hat Developer Subscription" pool
3. dnf upgrade

Actual results:

[root@rhel8-x86-64 ~]# subscription-manager status

Comment 1 Japheth Cleaver 2019-05-11 22:11:37 UTC 
I'm not certain if this is an OpenSCAP bug or not, but this seems like it should have been a blocker as updates won't work on the system.
Comment 6 Japheth Cleaver 2019-05-13 21:52:15 UTC 
Per https://access.redhat.com/discussions/4117121#comment-1520091 this is indeed an OSPP problem. 
PCI profile reportedly works successfully.
Comment 7 Craig Donnelly 2019-05-14 20:43:49 UTC 
Hello Japheth,

We have done some testing around this, and it seems that the issue is related to ciphers that are used with our CDN and the crypto policies that are enacted on the system when this security profile is installed.

With that said, I was able to "work around" this by changing the crypto policy after logging into the system. The problem with this approach is that the system will no longer be FIPS compliant at that point.

You can temporarily gain access to the CDN by changing the crypto policy as such:

  # update-crypto-policies --set DEFAULT

It will warn you about making this change.

You can return to the policy that complies with the security profile with:

  # update-crypto-policies --set FIPS

We are working on resolving the issue and will let you know when we have some more to offer.

Thanks!
Comment 8 Craig Donnelly 2019-05-14 20:45:32 UTC 
Additional Note:

It is important to remember that when changing to the DEFAULT crypto policy, with the other changes in place that OSPP makes - you will be unable to SSH into the system.
You must change the crypto policy back to DEFAULT before logging out, or you will need console access to get back in. This makes this a less-than-ideal work-around.
