Description John Sefler 2012-05-23 16:50:59 UTC

Description of problem:
Very similar to bug 664548, CLI calls to subscription-manager release --list are ignoring the command line proxy options.  If the user specifies a proxy using command line options, then these values should override corresponding proxy settings in the rhsm.conf file.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@kvm-guest-02 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager
subscription-manager-0.99.19-1.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
[root@kvm-guest-02 ~]# subscription-manager config --server.hostname subscription.rhn.stage.redhat.com

[root@kvm-guest-02 ~]# grep proxy /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf 
# an http proxy server to use
proxy_hostname=
# port for http proxy server
proxy_port=
# user name for authenticating to an http proxy, if needed
proxy_user=
# password for basic http proxy auth, if needed
proxy_password=

[root@kvm-guest-02 ~]# subscription-manager register --username stage_test_12 --autosubscribe

[root@kvm-guest-02 ~]# subscription-manager release --list
6.1
6.2
6Server
^^^^^^^ THESE RESULTS DEMOSTRATE release --list WITHOUT ANY PROXY USAGE

[root@kvm-guest-02 ~]# subscription-manager release --list --proxy REDHAT:PORT --proxyuser SHADOW --proxypassword MAN
6.1
6.2
6Server
^^^^^^^ DID NOT EXPECT THESE RESULTS SINCE WE SPECIFIED (BOGUS) PROXY ARGUMENTS.
EXPECTED TO SEE: 
Network error, unable to connect to server.
Please see /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log for more information.
  


Additional Info:
Not demonstrated above but demonstrated in the verification of bug 822965, the release --list command successfully acknowledges server proxy configurations set in the rhsm.conf file.  This new bug is concerned with release --list command failing to acknowledge proxy configuration values passed as command line arguments.

    824530: add test case for setting proxy cli for release

    824530: "release" command ignoring cli proxy options
    
    We were reading them, and setting them, then clobbering
    them with the cfg settings in the base class init. Refactor
    slightly to fix this.

Batch change of verified bugs which must have missed making the errata.
