      Description of problem:

      Currently we document how to install OpenShift in disconnected environments and how to mirror the images. But images for certain components outside of OCP core come from registries like `registry.redhat.io` that starting with RHEL 9 require image signatures. There is no documented process to mirror those signatures, which causes issues. Those issues are currently solved disabling signature checking (see  MGMT-13934). That results in a potentially insecure setup. It would be better to provide a documented process to explain how to also mirror the signatures.

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

      Detected in OpenShift 4.13 with RHCOS 9.2 because it includes a `policy.json` file that requires image signatures for `registry.redhat.io` and `registry.access.redhat.com`.

      How reproducible:

      Always.

      Steps to Reproduce:

      1. Create a mirror of the OpenShift images as described in the documentation.
      2. Add to the mirror the images required for ACM and assisted installer.
      

      Actual results:

      The cluster installation fails to pull some of the assisted installer images that come from `registry.redhat.io` because the signature can't be verified, and therefore the cluster installation fails.

      Expected results:

      The images from `registry.redhat.io` are pulled from the mirror and the signatures are verified using some kind of mirror.

      Additional info:

      Note that the solution for that is currently to disable signature verification, see OCPBUGS-10421. The request here is to avoid having to do that modification to the policy, and instead ask customers to also mirror the signatures, if that is even possible.
