Description of problem:
The satellite installer encountered a failure due to the 'activated_rules' parameter expecting an Array value, but receiving a String instead while attempting to disable the HTTP OPTIONS method in Red Hat Satellite and Capsule 6.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
satellite-6.14.0-3.el8sat.noarch
How reproducible:
New installation
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install satellite or capsule 6.14
2. To disable the HTTP OPTIONS method in Red Hat Satellite and Capsule 6 follow https://access.redhat.com/solutions/4963161
3. Run the installer
Actual results:
2023-07-27 00:21:07 [ERROR ] [configure] Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Method call, Class[Apache::Mod::Security]: parameter 'activated_rules' expects an Array value, got String (file: /usr/share/gems/gems/kafo-6.5.0/modules/kafo_configure/manifests/init.pp, line: 16, column: 39) on node
Expected results:
The installer should complete successfully without any errors or issues, allowing the Red Hat Satellite and Capsule 6 to be properly configured with the desired settings, including the disabling of the HTTP OPTIONS method.
Additional info:
The parameter 'activated_rules' was working as a String in previous versions of Satellite (6.11 and 6.12). However, in the newer version (possibly 6.13 or later), the 'activated_rules' parameter was changed to expect an Array value. This change in the parameter type caused the installation to fail when the custom parameter was specified as a String in the /etc/foreman-installer/custom-hiera.yaml file.
