Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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 of problem:
The help options for subscription-manager import indicates that a proxy server may be useful during import. This is not true. The proxy options are not used during import since the certificate specified during the import is simply a path to a local file that contains the entitlement cert and its key concatenated together into one file.
[root@jsefler-onprem-62server ~]# subscription-manager import --help
Usage: subscription-manager import [OPTIONS]
Import certificates which were provided outside of the tool
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--proxy=PROXY_URL proxy url in the form of proxy_hostname:proxy_port
--proxyuser=PROXY_USER
user for http proxy with basic authentication
--proxypassword=PROXY_PASSWORD
password for http proxy with basic authentication
--certificate=CERTIFICATE_FILES
certificate file to import
^^^ REMOVE THOSE proxy options.
