I changed my host to "localhost-foo", which does not resolve to an actual host. But I am still able to run pulp-admin commands. I haven't tested further, but I wonder if this means we are unable to run Pulp CLIs from another machine besides localhost.



$ cat /etc/pulp/client.conf
# The pulp server configuration
#     host : The pulp server
#     port : The port providing the RESTful API.
#   scheme : The protocol.
# interval : The agent update interval
[server]
host = localhost-foo
port = 443
scheme = https
path = /pulp/api
interval = 240
