Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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 Matt Reid 2012-10-08 21:00:50 UTC
Description of problem:
Running 'subscription-manager subscribe --auto' on a system that is "green" and has all installed products subscribed already still results in the system trying to subscribe your products.

We should catch this and just return a string saying they're set and not make them wait for autobind to try to do its thing (and waste their time).

Seems like a good spot to use our status message from the GUI saying everything is subscribed, and then a quick note reinforcing that.
"System is properly subscribed through [DATE]. No need to autosubscribe."

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
subscription-manager-1.1.2-1.git

    864207: Autosubscribe should not run when all products are already subscribed.
    
    Uses same logic and message on CLI that is used for GUI.
    Auto-subscribe is defeated if there are no unentitled products,
    expired products, partially-entitled products, or partial stacks.
