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 of problem:
When registering with a Simple Content Access enabled portal account, I can enable EUS repos just fine. But trying to set a release doesn't work until I attach a subscription.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 8.2
subscription-manager-1.26.16-1.el8.x86_64
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. start with a RHEL8.2 install
2. use subscription-manager to register to the user portal with an SCA enabled account
3. use subscription-manager to enable the eus repos
4. Attempt to list or set the release version with subscription-manager
Actual results:
[root@82-sca-eus-test ~]# subscription-manager register
Registering to: subscription.rhsm.redhat.com:443/subscription
Username: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Password:
The system has been registered with ID: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The registered system name is: 82-sca-eus-test
[root@82-sca-eus-test ~]# subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-eus-rpms
Repository 'rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-eus-rpms' is enabled for this system.

[root@82-sca-eus-test ~]# subscription-manager release --set=8.2
Release set to: 8.2
Expected results:
When using SCA we should be able to do the above without attaching a subscription.
Additional info:
I tried this initially on RHEL7.5 to attempt to pin it to 7.6 and had the same results there. I repro'd it on 8.2 just to make sure it wasn't something with 7.5's version of subscription-manager.
