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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2012:0805 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE python-rhsm bug fix and enhancement update 2012-06-19 20:34:30 UTC

Description J.C. Molet 2012-05-18 16:03:33 UTC 
Description of problem:
I cannot use subscription-manager release when on a proxy.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
subscription-manager-0.99.18-1.git.1.52e1aeb.el6.x86_64
subscription-manager-migration-data-1.12.1.8-1.git.0.c91a246.el6.noarch
subscription-manager-gnome-0.99.18-1.git.1.52e1aeb.el6.x86_64
subscription-manager-migration-0.99.18-1.git.1.52e1aeb.el6.x86_64
subscription-manager-firstboot-0.99.18-1.git.1.52e1aeb.el6.x86_64
python-rhsm-0.99.11-1.git.0.2de18a9.el6.noarch


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up a rhel 6.3 system using rhsm from the rhel 6.3 branch
2. set your rhsm.conf file thusly:

[root@jmolet-vm0 yum.repos.d]# grep . /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf | grep -v ^#
[server]
hostname=subscription.rhn.stage.redhat.com
prefix=/subscription
port=443
insecure=0
proxy_hostname=auto-services.usersys.redhat.com
proxy_port=3129
proxy_user=
proxy_password=

(and or use your favorite proxy server and candlepin server with releases)

3. Make sure /etc/pki/product/ is populated with the proper rhel server pem (69.pem)
4. # subscription-manager register --user=stage_test_12 --password=redhat
5. # subscription-manager subscribe --auto
6. # subscription-manager release --list
  
Actual results:
[root@jmolet-vm0 product]# subscription-manager register --user=stage_test_12 --password=redhat
The system has been registered with id: 81d3ac92-e15d-4472-b436-8ede0409b027 
[root@jmolet-vm0 product]# ls -a
.  ..  69.pem
[root@jmolet-vm0 product]# subscription-manager subscribe --auto
Installed Product Current Status:
Product Name:         	Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server
Status:               	Subscribed               

[root@jmolet-vm0 product]# subscription-manager release --list
unknown URL type: ///content/dist/rhel/server/6//listing

Expected results:
# subscription-manager release --list gives me a list of releases.

Additional info:
- This happens when you use either a proxy that does or does not require auth.
- This only happens when you set the proxy in rhsm.conf, and does not happen when specify the proxy via command-line args

Comment 5 John Sefler 2012-05-20 03:50:24 UTC 
Still having trouble after testing with changes in comment 2.

I no longer get the unknown URL type: ///content/dist/rhel/server/6//listing.
Now I get an empty list even though my installed RHEL product is Subscribed.

Moving back to ASSIGNED/FailedQA

No messages in /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log

This seems to work on the latest python-rhsm in the rhel-6.3 branch.  Waiting for this to make the rhel 6.3 compose before I mark it verified.
