Description of problem: To prevent a host from re-registering unless the host is in "build" mode. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Satellit 6.9 How reproducible: Easily reproducible Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Right now, a user who knows a valid activation key can register as a host that already exists and invalidate the subscriptions of the real host. Expected results: An attempt to register as a host that already exists should be treated as an error unless that host is in build mode. Additional info: The existing setting `host_profile_assume` can help limit the exposure, but the DMI UUID is not the most well protected piece of host information. The customer would like to request an additional setting to treat an attempt to register as a host that already exists as an error unless that host is in build mode. From an implementation side, the customer expects this to interact with the `host_profile_assume` setting so that both could be used together. Technical Requirements: Extension to app/services/katello/registration_manager.rb (and settings) Timetable: Expect to see this in Sat 6.10 Upstream PR link : https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/32406

Thank you for your interest in Red Hat Satellite. We have evaluated this request, and while we recognize that it is a valid request, we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. This is due to other priorities for the product, and not a reflection on the request itself. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this feel free to contact your Red Hat Account Team. Thank you.
