Description of problem:

Testing Global Registration on a default install of Satellite with SCA manifest:

When using Global Registration form and selecting the Satellite URL as the proxy, port 9090 is added to the curl command.
This causes hosts to remain in the build state and for subscription status to be invalid.

Setting "--foreman-proxy-template true"  fixes this problem.

By default:
--foreman-proxy-templates     Enable templates feature (current: false)

If --foreman-proxy-registration also enabled --foreman-proxy-templates the user would less likely encounter this problem.

~]# satellite-installer --help | grep foreman-proxy-registration
    --foreman-proxy-registration  Enable Registration feature (current: true)


If you do not select Satellite URL as the proxy, port 9090 is not added and the problem does not occur.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Sat6.10 snap 21

How reproducible:
Every time. Tests in:
Bug 1999792 - Unknown subscription status on Satellite webui after successful host registration.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Default install of Satellite
2. Use Global Registration form and select the Satellite URL as Capsule
3. Run the generated command on the Content Host

Actual results:
Registered Content Host stays in build state.
Subscription Status   Unknown subscription status

Expected results:
Host not in build state
Subscription Status

Managing Hosts guide

Chapter 3. Registering Hosts

3.1. Registering a Host to Red Hat Satellite

"Hosts can be registered to Satellite by generating a curl command on Satellite and running this command on hosts. This method uses two templates: global registration template and host initial configuration template."

No mention of "foreman-proxy-templates" there.

Later it says:

 Optional: If the Registration feature is not enabled on your Capsule, enter the following command on the Capsule to enable it:

# satellite-installer --foreman-proxy-registration \
--foreman-proxy-templates \
--foreman-proxy-template-url 'http://capsule.example.com'

But that leaves the problem of the internal proxy on 9090 not being covered by the docs.

Later it says:

Optional: From the Capsule list, select the Capsule to register hosts through. You must select the internal Capsule if you do not want to use an external Capsule.


No mention of "foreman-proxy-templates" there.
