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 Bryan Kearney 2010-10-20 20:11:58 UTC 
TRUE or FALSE, product certs are found in the etc products directory?

Currently entitlement certs are dropped into a "product" subdirectory of /etc/pki/entitlement during a subscribe binding.  Product certs are statically located in the /etc/pki/products directory.  Should dev change this behaviour and drop the entitlement certs directly into /etc/pki/entitlement?

I spoke to Prad about the use of the /etc/pki/entitlements/"products" directory.  He said they initially thought they would separate the certs for the layered products.  Currently the layered certs are just part of the parent entitlement cert.  Therefore the "product" subdirectory could be removed if we want to reduce the confusion.  Its only purpose currently is to add to the overuse of the term "product".  If it was removed now (which is probably a simple dev change), it impacts docs and tests.  If we want to make this change, I vote to do it earlier (pre-BETA) (possibly ALPHA) rather than later.

Leaving the subdirectory "product" under /etc/pki/entitlement confuses the all of us.
Comment 2 Bryan Kearney 2010-10-21 21:04:24 UTC 
Checked into master (not ALPHA) in 0b54685edd3c33005653a954ef5052b8083a6bea.
Comment 3 John Sefler 2010-10-25 14:19:19 UTC 
Deon,
The consequence of the fix for this bug means that a global search and replace must be done on all documentation (post alpha) switching all occurrences of "/etc/pki/entitlement/product" with "/etc/pki/entitlement".

VERIFIED the code!  No more sub directory called product
TODO: Should also verify the doc...
Comment 6 John Sefler 2010-12-07 19:29:18 UTC 
This bugzilla is VERIFIED.
I opened a separate bugzilla https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=661103 for the changes required to the documentation.
