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 John Sefler 2011-07-29 20:00:08 UTC 
Created attachment 515927 [details]
Activate should be Redeem

Description of problem:
The terminology for activating a DELL machine was recently changed in the subscription-manager-cli from "activate" to "redeem".  This same change should be made in the subscription-manager-gui

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@jsefler-onprem-62server ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager-gnome
subscription-manager-gnome-0.96.4-1.git.67.570f1e8.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. add the following to /etc/candlepin/candlepin.conf on your on premises candlepin server and restart candlepin
candlepin.subscription.activation.debug_prefix = redemption

2. register using using --name=redemption90210
subscription-manager register --username=testuser1 --password=password --org=admin --name=redemption90210

3. start subscription-manager-gui
  
Actual results:
see attached screenshot

Fixed in master at 34d388faaf2124edf5036e74ca49cdd8db7d5250 (merge is at 57441fbd6a287c84714f2e37d836621484c4f02e). 

One question, I get a permission denied when I do this. Is this another bug?

verification of Activation => Redeem rename

Look at the screenshot -still need an edit to a candlepin error message:

Standalone candlepin does not support activation.

Suggestions:
Standalone candlepin does not support redeeming a subscription.
Standalone candlepin does not support subscription redemption.
