Bug 1955480

Description of problem:
When system is registered using D-Bus method Register() (Cockpit plugin or Anaconda plugin) and SCA mode is used, then calling Register() method does not populate redhat.repo with repository definitions, because SCA entitlement certificate is not obtained.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
server type: Red Hat Subscription Management
subscription management server: 3.2.11-1
subscription management rules: 5.41
subscription-manager: 1.29.5-1.git.7.a14a61b.el8

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to register system using following bash script. This script call D-Bus methods using dbus-send CLI. Note that organization snowwhite in this example uses SCA mode:


#!/bin/bash

# Create new unix socket used for registration 
echo "starting RegisterServer..."
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest='com.redhat.RHSM1' \
        '/com/redhat/RHSM1/RegisterServer' com.redhat.RHSM1.RegisterServer.Start string:"" > /root/register_server_output.txt

if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]
then
        export my_addr=`cat /root/register_server_output.txt | gawk '/string/{ print $2 }' | sed 's/\"//g'`
fi

echo "Using address: $my_addr"

# Try to register using username and password
echo "registering using username and password and org..."
dbus-send --address=${my_addr} --print-reply --dest='com.redhat.RHSM1.Register' \
        '/com/redhat/RHSM1/Register' \
        com.redhat.RHSM1.Register.Register \
        string:"snowwhite" \
        string:"admin" \
        string:"admin" \
        dict:string:string:"","" \
        dict:string:string:"","" \
        string:"" > /root/register_output.txt

if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]
then
        echo "Registration sucess"
        export registered=1
else
        echo "Registration FAILED"
        export registered=0
fi

echo "stoping RegisterServer..."
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest='com.redhat.RHSM1' \
        '/com/redhat/RHSM1/RegisterServer' com.redhat.RHSM1.RegisterServer.Stop string:"" > /dev/null


2. Check content of generated /etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo

[root@thinkpad-t580 subscription-manager]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo 
#
# Certificate-Based Repositories
# Managed by (rhsm) subscription-manager
#
# *** This file is auto-generated.  Changes made here will be over-written. ***
# *** Use "subscription-manager repo-override --help" if you wish to make changes. ***
#
# If this file is empty and this system is subscribed consider
# a "yum repolist" to refresh available repos
#


Actual results: Empty redhat.repo file and no entitlement certificate installed in /etc/pki/entitlement


Expected results: redhat.repo file populated with definitions of repositories generated from installed SCA entitlement certificate.


Additional info:
Running following command fixes the issue. Calling AutoAttach() D-Bus method can also fix this issue, but it is strange to call auto-attach in SCA mode.
