Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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:
Subscription manager will send the following request to the Candlepin. This request has a "If-Modified-Since" header which is used to query if any certificate has been updated since the specified time. If no certificate has been updated, Candlepin will respond with 304 Not Modified status and empty data.
Satellite doesn't forward the header to the Candlepin causing Candlepin to return the certificate every time.

xx.xx.xx.xx - - [01/Oct/2021:17:07:39 +1000] "GET /rhsm/consumers/82b2ddaa-70ae-4ca8-9576-d8f31750caba/accessible_content HTTP/1.1" 200 6606 "-" "RHSM/1.0 (cmd=yum)"
-------------------------------------
This is causing subscription-manager to think that content access certificate has been updated on the server and then it will performs certificate and repos update locally. Because of this, subscription-manager sends a few redundant '/content-overrides' and '/release' calls to the Satellite.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Register client to the Satellite with SCA enabled
2. Tail the foreman ssl access log
tail -f /var/log/httpd/foreman-ssl_access_ssl.log | grep "/rhsm"
3. Run yum repolist multiple times
Actual results:
Notice that '/accessible_content' api always return 200 status
Expected results:
'/accessible_content' api should return 304 Not Modified status
