RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-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.

Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
.The `--noverifyssl` option for `liveimg` no longer checks the server’s certificate for images downloaded using HTTPS Previously, the installation program ignored the `--noverifyssl` option from the `liveimg` Kickstart command. Consequently, if the server's certificate could not be validated for images downloaded using the HTTPS protocol, the installation process failed. With this update, this issue has been fixed, and the `--noverifyssl` option of the `liveimg` Kickstart command works correctly.

Description Jan Stodola 2023-01-03 15:12:34 UTC 
This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #1886985

I am copying this bug because: 
The problem can be reproduced on RHEL-9.2 as well.


Description of problem:
When attempting to kickstart a system using liveimg with a self-signed certificate the system will fail to install even with --noverifyssl. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
All RHEL 8 versions. Issue is also present on RHVH which is where this was initially discovered, however RHEL 8 shows the same behavior.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Host the ISO on an httpd share using a self-signed certificate. In my example it is on a system with the ip 192.168.122.212
2. Use the following syntax in your kickstart:
liveimg --url=https://192.168.122.212/rhel8-iso/images/install.img --noverifyssl
3. Attempt to kickstart the system

Actual results:
The following error occurred while installing.  This is a fatal error and installation will be aborted.

HTTPSConnectionPool(host='192.168.122.212', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /rhel8-iso/images/install.img (Caused by SSLError(SSLError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:897)'),))

Expected results:
System is able to install.

Additional info:
The inst.noverifyssl option on grub is working, because I'm hosting the kickstart out of the same webserver using the same ssl certificate, etc. and I'm able to pull the kickstart (only when using inst.noverifyssl). According to the docs --noverifyssl is a valid option for liveimg, so I would expect this to work. 

As mentioned briefly above, the issue was initially seen on a RHVH 4.4 installation, however the same behavior is present on RHEL 8.2, and on RHVH 4.4. v

Logs from installation attempt on RHEL 8 attached.

Sagar, could you please review the proposed documentation text? Once it is approved, please use it also for bug 1886985.


Checked that anaconda-34.25.3.3-1.el9 is in nightly compose RHEL-9.3.0-20230616.31
