Adding extra Variables in kickstart profile automatically get a '\n' and this breaks kickstart profile

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • From the Red Hat Network Satellite 5.3.0 WebUI, adding multiple kickstart variables in Kickstart Profiles -> 'Select a Kickstart Profile' -> Variables like:

    org=2
    http_server=proxy.example.com
    redhat_management_server=proxy.example.com
    

The resulting kickstart profile contains a newline within the 'url --url http://...' line and others. This makes it not possible to kickstart systems.
