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 Radek Mynar 2023-01-27 17:36:19 UTC 
Description of problem:
When creating new certificates using satellite-installer and passing empty "state" parameter an Evaluation Error is shown

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
-

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
a)
1. satellite-installer --certs-regenerate true --certs-update-all --certs-update-server --certs-update-server-ca --certs-org-unit "FooOrg"  --certs-state ""
b)
1. edit /etc/foreman-installer/scenarios.d/satellite-answers.yaml and set certs -> state: ''   
2. satellite-installer --certs-regenerate true --certs-update-all --certs-update-server --certs-update-server-ca

Actual results:
satellite-installer fails with following error
<timestamp> [ERROR ] [configure] Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, 'katello::build_dn' parameter 'options' index 3 index 1 expects a value of type Undef or String[1], got String (file: /usr/share/foreman-installer/modules/katello/manifests/application.pp, line: 40, column: 24) on node <node-fqdn>

Expected results:
Reasonable error should be shown.

Additional info:
After fix (if this gets fixed) the installer should never cause inconsistency between certificates and config files - 'hammer ping' should pass (see bug 1964037)
Comment 1 Brad Buckingham 2023-01-30 14:14:28 UTC 
Is this a regression from prior release?

Thanks!
Comment 2 Radek Mynar 2023-01-31 12:52:39 UTC 
This was most probably introduced after fix of bug 1964037, so I suppose it is a regression.
Comment 3 Radek Mynar 2023-06-07 12:06:36 UTC 
I tested various combinations (empty string/valid string) of state and org_unit. There was no error message. No combination led to failing 'hammer ping'.

VERIFIED with Satellite 6.14 SNAP2.0 @RHEL8.8
