yum on new install gets HTTPS Error 403
I am new to RHEL.
I recently installed a new machine and everything went well.
I installed several packages needed to build the code I was trying
to test on RHEL.
Then I convinced myself that I should repeat the install to show that I
could do it again from the notes I had taken.
No luck.
It took a while to figure out that I needed to remove the previous system
in the subscription list on the Customer Portal.
Once I did that I could register my newly installed system using the subscription-manager.
But when I try to use yum I get this:
yum repolist available
Loaded plugins: product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager
https://cdn.redhat.com/content/beta/rhel/server/7/x86_64/rt/os/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTPS Error 403 - Forbidden
Trying other mirror.
To address this issue please refer to the below knowledge base article
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/69319
If above article doesn't help to resolve this issue please open a ticket with Red Hat Support.

Trying other mirror.
repolist: 0
I've gone through the instructions from solution 69319 but nothing changes.
I've gone through multiple attempts with this sequence of commands:
subscription-manager unregister
subscription-manager register
subscription-manager refresh
subscription-manager attach --auto
Nothing changes.
I've tried to re-install a couple of times. Still the same.
I'm sure I'm missing something simple.
What is it?
Thanks for any help.

I am encountering the same issue, trying to run "yum upgrade" from a 7.2 server.
I have tried everything noted in solution 69319, as well. Seems to be an issue on RedHat's end.

I'm having the exact same issue. As a workaround to get me going, I disabled the repo with the following command:
subscription-manager repos --disable=rhel-7-server-rt-beta-rpms
As this is a temporary problem which only sometimes occurs - it might be better to choose one of these two options :
(instead of disable permanently by subscription-manager repos --disable=rhel-7-server-rt-beta-rpms)
Either disable the repository temporarily when running a yum command ->sudo yum <command (for example update or install)> --disablerepo=rhel-7-server-rt-beta-rpms
Or you can configure the failing repository to be skipped if it's unavailable ->sudo yum-config-manager --save --setopt=rhel-7-server-rt-beta-rpms.skip_if_unavailable=true
You're welcome RJ, I'm glad that you appreciate my contributions.
You know what makes me wonder ? The solution I posted above :
it normally is suggested in the terminal when yum commands fail.
(in case of "HTTPS Error 403 - Forbidden" for a specific channel)
Sometimes it can help when users simply read the stuff - right ? :)
