Description Scott Spurrier 2021-11-02 16:32:18 UTC
Description of problem:

Customers using third party tools for Red Hat repository management need a reliable way to entitle those tools like JFrog Artifactory.  JFrog currently instructs users to download the entitlement certificate from a system registered to the Red Hat Customer Portal[1].  The problem with this method is that the entitlement certificates are periodically revoked (for reasons like new content being added or during yum/dnf operations).  

What JFrog is doing is:

• creating a stub host record in RHSM.
• attaching a sub to it.
• downloading the entitlement certificate and using that for
authorization/authentication to cdn.redhat.com


Expected results:

Build an interface that can properly handle the lifecycle of the entitlement certificates similar to subscription-manager and Satellite's manifest system for use with third party tools.
