Please backport to RHEL5. +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #730380 +++ GUI has this functionality, the cli does not. --- Additional comment from jsefler on 2011-08-12 15:15:26 EDT --- Background... It was decided a long time ago that a CLI "root" user could accomplish import using: cp <import_file> /etc/pki/entitlement However, the design has changed so that an entitlement cert from rhsm-web can now have a key appended (see bug 712980). As such a CLI import function makes sense to handle splitting the contents of the import file.. --- Additional comment from bkearney on 2011-08-15 14:05:19 EDT --- fixed in master at eeb90f106bc8fe32baf797ae33bdfc48608738f2.
Master as of 20 October supports this, so 5.8 will supprot this.
