The installer option is defined in this way:

https://github.com/theforeman/puppet-foreman/blob/master/manifests/params.pp#L1-L7

class foreman::params inherits foreman::globals {
  $lower_fqdn = downcase($facts['networking']['fqdn'])

  # Basic configurations
  $foreman_url      = "https://${lower_fqdn}"


And the settings are defined in this way 

https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/blob/develop/app/registries/foreman/settings/general.rb#L12-L17

    setting('foreman_url',
      type: :string,
      description: N_("URL where your Foreman instance is reachable (see also Provisioning > unattended_url)"),
      default: "#{SETTINGS[:require_ssl] ? 'https' : 'http'}://#{SETTINGS[:fqdn]}",
      full_name: N_('Foreman URL'),
      validate: :http_url)

So they are not at all related to each other or dependent on each other.


But since the names are very similar to each other, The end-user had to assume that the installer option is not properly updating the value of the setting and hence the BZ.

If it makes any sense to have the installer option populate the setting value, then perhaps that is what the end-user is looking for. Otherwise, if there are any specific questions about this request or this BZ, I can get the answers collected from the user.

Upon review of our valid but aging backlog the Satellite Team has concluded that this Bugzilla does not meet the criteria for a resolution in the near term, and are planning to close in a month. This message may be a repeat of a previous update and the bug is again being considered to be closed. If you have any concerns about this, please contact your Red Hat Account team.  Thank you.

There have been two questions raised by the end user here:

A) How does the functionality and use case of the "--foreman-foreman-url" differ from "Setting[:foreman_url]" i.e. how and where does the satellite use them individually?

B) If it's logically expected to have the same values in "--foreman-foreman-url" as well as "Setting[:foreman_url]" but this setting cannot be installer managed ( to maintain consistency ), Then is there a situation where the value of "Setting[:foreman_url]" can differ from the value passed with "--foreman-foreman-url" ?
