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.

Comment 2 Miroslav Suchý 2012-01-03 13:10:32 UTC 
Note: this happend only if registering against hosted. It does *not* happen when registering against RHN Satellite.
Comment 3 Miroslav Suchý 2012-01-09 16:26:51 UTC 
Fixed in spacewalk in 60555bc0bd4090cd39b87f964fd55cd3a9a29785
cherrypicked to satellite.git as 9e31f2ae21f88f15f7f28a79647b2cc0b0c6f997

Note this fix change behaviour of hardware reactivation a little. (it moved the activation to one of earlier screen). So this may need to be retested as well.
Comment 5 Jiří Mikulka 2012-01-20 10:53:30 UTC 
While verifying this bug I hit another problem. 

When I tried to register against Hosted using rhn_register selecting the option "I have acces to a Red Hat Network Satellite or Red Hat Network Proxy. I'd like to receive software updates from the Satellite or Proxy below:" + Hosted location registration proceeded even if wrong login or password was used. Registration failed at the end of the process only with traceback in /var/log/up2date and error message in terminal (same as in comment 0).

Could you (Miroslav?) fix the problem described above?
Switching to FAILED_QA.

Otherwise when registering against RHN Satellite, even if wrong login/password is used, a window with error message is shown.
