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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2011:0565 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE rhn-client-tools and yum-rhn-plugin bug fix and ehnancement update 2011-05-18 17:57:10 UTC

Description Miroslav Suchý 2010-05-26 10:29:48 UTC 
Description of problem:
In firstboot go to Set Up Software Updates. Register to RHN or RHN Satellite and when you hit screen "Review Subscription". Click on "Back" and then "Forward". Your machine is registered two times (and consume two entitlements). IMO on the screen "Review Subscription" you should either disable "back" button. Or provide some warning when user decide to go back and register again.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firstboot-1.110.4-1.el6.x86_64
rhn-client-tools-1.0.0-13.el6.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. got through firstboot till "Review Subscription"
2. hit Back
3. hit Forward 
and repeat steps 2 and 3 as many times you want
  
Actual results:
machine is registred multiple time, which user probably do not expect

Expected results:
button back is disable on screen "Review Subscription" or
when user hit this button on this screen some warning pop up

Additional info:
This does not happen if using plain rhn_register. Buttons Back and Forward are managed by firstboot.
Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2010-05-26 21:06:16 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.
Comment 3 Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2010-06-01 08:07:58 UTC 
The firstboot (RHN register part thereof) in RHEL 5 has the same problem. Therefore, this is not a regression against RHEL 5 and I propose moving it to RHEL 6.1.
Comment 7 Milan Zázrivec 2011-01-24 16:39:32 UTC 
The fix for the bug has two parts:
1. From 'Review Subscription' page, 'Back' button will skip to the 'Set
   Up Software Updates' page
2. 'Set Up Software Updates' page will render correctly depending on
   whether or not is the system registered.
