Mismatch between host (RHEL8) and container (UBI8) subscriptions

Latest response

According to RHEL documentation and basically any tutorial on the Internet, my podman containers should take advantage of it's host's subscriptions.

But in my case it does not...

On my host, I have :

# yum repolist enabled
Updating Subscription Management repositories.
repo id                                         repo name
dirsrv-11-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms                Red Hat Directory Server 11 for RHEL 8 x86_64 (RPMs)   <= I enabled this repo on the host, thanks to my subscription
rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms                Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for x86_64 - AppStream (RPMs)
rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms                   Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for x86_64 - BaseOS (RPMs)

But, inside a podman container :

# yum repolist enabled
Updating Subscription Management repositories.
Unable to read consumer identity    <= this does not look good....
Subscription Manager is operating in container mode.
repo id                                    repo name
ubi-8-appstream                            Red Hat Universal Base Image 8 (RPMs) - AppStream
ubi-8-baseos                               Red Hat Universal Base Image 8 (RPMs) - BaseOS
ubi-8-codeready-builder                    Red Hat Universal Base Image 8 (RPMs) - CodeReady Builder
 <= My repo is missing !

In the container, I do have access to the required files :

# ls -la /run/secrets/
total 260
drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root    120 Aug 29 16:19 .
drwxr-xr-x. 1 root root   4096 Aug 29 16:22 ..
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root     72 Aug 23 13:08 etc-pki-entitlement
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 257134 Aug 26 12:40 redhat.repo
drwxr-xr-x. 6 root root    104 Aug 23 09:00 rhsm
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root      0 Aug 29 16:19 system-fips

Any idea what is going on here ?

Thanks for your help !
