1816926 – [7.9 regression] `subscription-manager attach --auto` fails the first time against candlepin server

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 Martin Pitt 2020-03-25 07:31:37 UTC

Description of problem: In Cockpit we test interactions with subscriptions against the public candlepin server using the Ansible role [1]. This handles a fake product "88888" instead of the official RHEL one.

In the current RHEL 7.9 nightlies this regressed.

[1] https://github.com/cockpit-project/bots/blob/master/images/scripts/services.setup#L66


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

subscription-manager-1.24.28-1.el7.x86_64

How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot candlepin server. (If you don't have one at hand yourself, you are welcome to use Cockpit's test VM, I can show you how.)

2. Remove "real" products from test machine, and install the candlepin server's test product:

rm -f /etc/pki/product-default/*.pem /etc/pki/product/*.pem

get ~/candlepin/generated_certs/88888.pem from candlepin machine and copy it to the test machine's /etc/pki/product/

# certificate checks don't work with candlepin server
sed -i -e 's/insecure = 0/insecure = 1/g' /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf

3. register with

subscription-manager register --insecure --serverurl https://10.111.112.100:8443/candlepin --org=admin --activationkey=awesome_os_pool

This always fails with exit code 1, as no products are attached, and --auto-attach is not supported with --activationkey.

4. attach subscriptions:

subscription-manager attach --auto


Actual results:

# subscription-manager attach --auto
Installed Product Current Status:
Product Name: Shared File System Bits (no content)
Status:       Not Subscribed

Unable to find available subscriptions for all your installed products.

# echo $?
1


Expected results: (Like in 7.8 and before)

# subscription-manager attach --auto
Installed Product Current Status:
Product Name: Shared File System Bits (no content)
Status:       Subscribed
