up2date login for RHEL7
Hi
I have already familiazired myself with the login & update rpc for rhn classic registered machines. I have achieved those using the 'systemid file' & 'up2date.login xmlrpc'.
But, on my RHEL7, the system registration is forced only through 'subscription_manager register'. This method doesn't generate a systemid file. Rather I encountered discussions that this method makes use of certificates.
Can you please tell me how to make RPCs to RHN (http://xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/XMLRPC) in order to get the details of the subscribed channels & ultimately the patches available in those channels?
Thanks

Hardly, the subscription-manager does not have any API yet - it is created for tight cooperation with Red Hat Satellite, not the RHN, as you can see under Subscription -> Units, there is no information about errata or updates.
See this solution.
I know.
AFAIK - after registering the system, you could use yum install/update --downloadonly, or grab the package from Downloads: see https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/69/ver=/rhel---7/7.1/x86_64/packages for RHEL 7.1 packages.
