Can I clear an activation key's base channel from the Satellite API?

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Environment

  • RHN Satellite version 5.4

Issue

The RHN Satellite API call activationkey.setDetails cannot set back an empty base_channel_label to have "RHN Satellite default" functionnality.

When trying to use a value of "none" or "default" it returns an error like this:

Error encountered calling activationkey.setDetails : Fault returned
from XML RPC Server, fault code -211: redstone.xmlrpc.XmlRpcFault:
Invalid channel

Resolution

Satellite 5.6 includes a fix for this problem.
