The main issue here is that 1) The manifest cannot be refreshed while this value is being retrieved as false, even fails on the command line as seen in; ~~~ [root@sat611-rhel7 ~]# hammer settings set --name subscription_connection_enabled --value true ; sleep 10 ; hammer subscription refresh-manifest --organization ACME Setting [subscription_connection_enabled] updated to [true]. Manifest refresh failed: Access to Red Hat Subscription Management is prohibited. If you would like to change this, please update the content setting 'Subscription connection enabled'. ~~~ 2) It's easy to believe that 1) is not the only problem since bz 2162425 is not yet implemented and an error is reported.
