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.

Description Jan Stavel 2023-02-02 11:42:32 UTC
Created attachment 1941769 [details]
proxy dialog with filled fields

I want to register a system using initial-setup-graphical app.
I want to use auth proxy.

see details of that case: https://polarion.engineering.redhat.com/polarion/redirect/project/RHELSS/workitem?id=RHEL7-19999

in a terminal at desktop enable root access to the display:

xhost si:localuser:root

in a terminal do:
ssh root@$HOST
export DISPLAY:0
/usr/libexec/initial-setup/initial-setup-graphical

Click on 'Subscription Manager'
Click on 'Configure Proxy' button
Check a checkbox 'I would like to connect via an HTTP Proxy'
Fill a field 'Proxy Location' by an url to auth proxy 
..note: no username or password is filled
Click on a button 'Test Connection'

Wait a little.
The button returns into an unclicked state after a while and no error message does appear.

A long traceback appears on a terminal where initial-setup-graphical is run.
see below.

The graphical app gets frozen and I cannot click on any GUI element. I have to reboot the system.

Comment 1 Jan Stavel 2023-02-02 11:50:04 UTC
It does not matter what fields in the Proxy Dialog are filled wrong way.
The application fails with traceback anyway - and it gets frozen in every case.

Comment 2 Pino Toscano 2023-02-02 12:55:30 UTC
Ooops, this is a regression of the changes for bug 1971995: the GUI code does not exist in RHEL 9, and thus I missed to check for the NetworkException class there [1].

Easy to fix, a simple rename: https://github.com/candlepin/subscription-manager/pull/3202
