Description of problem:

The Global Registration feature works normally fine but after generating the curl command, If we change the URL to the common name of a capsule, The URL no longer works.

It worked fine on 6.9 and 6.10.

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

Satellite 6.11 and 6.12 ( all versions )

How reproducible:

Always 100%

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install a satellite 6.11 with fqdn sat611.example.com

2. Install a capsule 6.11 with fqdn cap611.example.com and cname capsule.example.com

3. Enable and sync a satellite clients repo for RHEL 7 in Satellite.

4. Sync Library env to the Capsule

5. Create an activation key by the name RHEL7 having Libray and Def Org View selected.

6. Generate the global registration command using hammer_cli or UI --> Hosts --> Register Hosts page while selecting Capsule server as the Capsule.

We will end up in an URL :

curl -sS --insecure 'https://cap611.example.com:9090/register?activation_keys=RHEL7&lifecycle_environment_id=1&location_id=2&organization_id=1&setup_insights=false&setup_remote_execution=false&update_packages=false' -H 'Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjo0LCJpYXQiOjE2NzMwNjI0NjksImp0aSI6IjkzMGIxODQwMGI2Zjg5MjczNzA0ZTk2YzY3NmRjNmQ0NmI5ZmFmMjQ5ZTNhYTczMjgzYjg4MmMxMGU1ZjcyMWUiLCJleHAiOjE2NzMwOTQ4NjksInNjb3BlIjoicmVnaXN0cmF0aW9uI2dsb2JhbCByZWdpc3RyYXRpb24jaG9zdCJ9.mYXL-lMsVnIJ-nK2f3iFHDmc5frkSY2DE5m9XldT6cE' | bash

7. Replace cap611.example.com with capsule.example.com in the URL i.e.

curl -sS --insecure 'https://capsule.example.com:9090/register?activation_keys=RHEL7&lifecycle_environment_id=1&location_id=2&organization_id=1&setup_insights=false&setup_remote_execution=false&update_packages=false' -H 'Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjo0LCJpYXQiOjE2NzMwNjI0NjksImp0aSI6IjkzMGIxODQwMGI2Zjg5MjczNzA0ZTk2YzY3NmRjNmQ0NmI5ZmFmMjQ5ZTNhYTczMjgzYjg4MmMxMGU1ZjcyMWUiLCJleHAiOjE2NzMwOTQ4NjksInNjb3BlIjoicmVnaXN0cmF0aW9uI2dsb2JhbCByZWdpc3RyYXRpb24jaG9zdCJ9.mYXL-lMsVnIJ-nK2f3iFHDmc5frkSY2DE5m9XldT6cE' | bash

8. In /etc/hosts of Satellite, Capsule and a RHEL 7 system, ensure to have the following entry:

<IP of capsule> cap611.example.com capsule.example.com

9. Run the modified curl command from Step 7 on the RHEL 7 client system,

Actual results:

On Client system:

~~
echo "ERROR: standard_error";
echo "ERF42-3243 [Foreman::Exception]: Capsule content source not found!";
exit 1
~~

In production.log of satellite:

Expected results:

No such errors and We should be able to use the CNAME or SAN of the Capsule server.

Additional info:

• It works fine on 6.9 and 6.10 but fails on 6.11 and 6.12

• Failure happens here: https://github.com/Katello/katello/blob/KATELLO-4.3/app/controllers/katello/concerns/api/v2/registration_controller_extensions.rb#L36-L44

• I understand that It worked before in 6.9 or 6.10 as registration_controller_extensions.rb did not have any checks in place to find or validate the smart-proxy. And Yes, We never really officially said that, CNAME\SAN would work with Gloabal Registration.

• Once the rhsm helper was introduced via https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/32841 and PR https://github.com/Katello/katello/pull/9417 in Satellite 6.11, That caused the issue for both 6.11 and 6.12.

• With the implementation of https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/35627 ( and related fixes ), The Foreman 3.5.1 ( Satellite 6.13 ) works fine.
