Topic

Updated python-rhsm packages that fix several bugs and add one enhancement are
now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The python-rhsm package contains a library for communicating with the
representational state transfer (REST) interface of Red Hat's subscription and
content service. This interface is used by the Subscription Management tools for
management of system entitlements, certificates, and access to content.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • Previously, Subscription Manager had the fakamai-cp1.pem certificate installed

in the /etc/rhsm/ca/fakamai-cp1.pem directory after installation. However, the
certificate serves only for testing purposes and is not needed by the tool
itself. With this update, the certificate has been removed. (BZ#720372)

  • If the subscription-manager command was issued with an incorrect or empty
  • -server.port option, the command failed with a traceback. With this update, the

tool now sets the provided port value as expected and no traceback is returned.
(BZ#744654)

  • If the activation key contained non-ASCII characters, the registration failed

with the following error:

Network error. Please check the connection details, or see
/var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log for more information.

This happened due to an incorrect conversion of the key into the URL address.
With this update, subscription-manager converts the characters correctly and the
registration succeeds in the scenario described. (BZ#803773)

  • Several configuration settings had no default value defined in the Red Hat

Subscription Manager (RHSM), which could cause some commands to return a
traceback. The default RHSM values are now set as expected and the problem no
longer occurs. (BZ#807721)

  • When the user defined a proxy server in rhsm.conf, the Subscription Manager

did not work and returned the "unknown URL type" error. This happened because
the "Host" header was not sent up to the CDN when acquiring the list of releases
using a proxy. With this update, the "Host" header is sent to the CDN and the
proxy definition in rhsm.conf is processed as expected. (BZ#822965)

In addition, this update adds the following enhancement:

  • The bug fixes and some of the new features introduced in the python-rhsm

package on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.8 have been backported into the
python-rhsm on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3. (BZ#785247)

All users of python-rhsm are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix these bugs and add this enhancement.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
