Description Sayan Das 2023-02-01 14:32:23 UTC

Document URL: 

https://dxp-docp-prod.apps.ext-waf.spoke.prod.us-west-2.aws.paas.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.13/html-single/configuring_capsules_with_a_load_balancer/index?lb_target=preview

Section Number and Name: 

Chapter 6. Registering Clients ( or somewhere suitable )


Describe the issue: 

https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/35627 has introduced a feature to use LB\HAproxy FQDN during system registration via Global Registration method. 

But we need to ensure that this feature and the introduction of "--foreman-proxy-registration-url" installer option has been properly documented somewhere. 


Suggestions for improvement: 


A) By default --foreman-proxy-registration-url is undefined. Please mention how the value of this parameter should be mentioned. 

http://<LB-FQDN>:9090 or just LB-FQDN

B) Describe how this option works and where the users will need to execute the installer with this option ( i.e. LB capsules only but not satellite if I am not wrong )

C) Optionally mention the relation of this option with the entry of the "Capsules" dropdown in the "Register Hosts" page ( as we know we won't be seeing the entry of LB on that page but it works differently ).
