      Description of problem:

      Due to different approach between certificate generations and /etc/tomcat/cert-users.properties generation is possible to get authentication errors in candlepin.

      If any empty string is used in certs part of /etc/foreman-installer/scenarios.d/satellite-answers.yaml as below


      certs:
      country: US
      state: '' <<<<<<<<<
      city: Raleigh
      org: Katello
      org_unit: '' <<<<<<<<

      certificate is generated without ST and OU as below

      1. grep Subject /etc/pki/katello/certs/java-client.crt
        Subject: C=US, O=candlepin, CN=localhost

      however /etc/tomcat/cert-users.properties is generate with empty OU and ST as below

      1. cat /etc/tomcat/cert-users.properties
        katelloUser=CN=localhost, OU=, O=candlepin, ST=, C=US

      due to this mismatch authentication errors appear in /var/log/candlepin/error.log as below
