Clients behind a firewall do not exit build mode in Satellite 6.1

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

It is possible to set up satellite 6.1 in a way that all clients are not contacting the satellite server directly. If a client system (host) is configured with a subnet associated to a capsule with "templates" feature on, all communication is then forwarded through the capsule.

Unfortunately when a system once to exit the "build" mode (int the end of the kickstart template) this request is not proxied through the capsule and for this reason the system never exits the build mode.

When provisioning via bootdisk images the situation is the same, and in addition to that template calls are not proxied as well.

Environment

The problem occurs only in case the client is not able to reach the Satellite Server (e.g. due to firewall configuration).
