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 Sayan Das 2023-02-16 11:18:39 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/provisioning_hosts/index?lb_target=preview#Configuring_iPXE_to_Reduce_Provisioning_Times

Chapter 5. Configuring iPXE to Reduce Provisioning Times



Section Number and Name: 

End of "5.1. Booting Virtual Machines" and "5.2. Chainbooting iPXE from PXELinux"


Describe the issue: 

We have a note that says:

~~
Note
Ensure that --foreman-trusted-proxies is configured correctly on the Satellite Server.
~~


Suggestions for improvement: 

We need to be clear about what to verify here i.e. 

* The purpose of that installer option

* How that should be configured ( in case of the deployment is being done via satellite or an external smart-proxy\capsule )


Some discussions about it can be found at https://github.com/theforeman/foreman-documentation/pull/1613#discussion_r1030466167 

Please verify with foreman\Sat Eng team what exactly we need to do about that installer option in terms of iPXE  

Additional information: 

We mention something about that option in "11.8. Using VMware Cloud-init and Userdata Templates for Provisioning" under the "Configuring Capsule to Forward the user data Template" part.

And the exact same changes are required for 6.12 docs as well.
