RHBA-2018:1126 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated Satellite 6.3 packages that fix several bugs are now available for Red Hat Satellite.

[Updated 24 April 2018]
This advisory has been updated with a corrected Solution text. This update does not change the packages in any way.

Description

Red Hat Satellite is a system management solution that allows organizations to configure and maintain their systems without the necessity to provide public Internet access to their servers or other client systems. It performs provisioning and configuration management of predefined standard operating environments.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• The performance of Content View publishing and promotion has been improved. (BZ#1522912)
• The performance of Ansible Tower inventory collection has been improved. (BZ#1437197)
• Various performance and scale improvements have been made. (BZ#1553881, BZ#1553879, BZ#1532348, BZ#1553871)
• Several upgrade issues from 6.2.x to 6.3 have been resolved. (BZ#1549502, BZ#1547607, BZ#1553279)
• The installer now allow users to configure the SSL protocols used by Tomcat. (BZ#1544995)
• Disconnected installations no longer attempt to install the oauth gem from a remote server. (BZ#1541885)
• Users can now configure custom products not to use an HTTP Proxy when syncing content, and to only use the proxy for Red Hat Content. (BZ#1132980)
• Restarting a pulp worker with running tasks caused the tasks to be in a broken state. This problem has been fixed. In such cases, tasks are stopped with warning "Task cancelled". (BZ#1552118)
• Puppet modules which were built on MacOS machines can now be imported into Satellite. (BZ#1445625)
• Previously, an API endpoint used by the SCAP Satellite plug-in failed to provide generated guides based on the selected profile. Consequently, Red Hat Satellite was not able to get information from the plug-in, and the Satellite UI was broken. With this update, handling of the API endpoint has been updated, and it is now possible to generate guides using this API endpoint again. (BZ#1480595)
• Backups were failing with relative paths since 6.2.13. This regression has been fixed. (BZ#1544401)

Users of Red Hat Satellite are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.
