      Description of problem:

      In particular environment, security is unlikely to allow traffic on port 80 between satellite server and clients in secure networks.

      a) Is there a workaround for configuring port 80 in satellite server?
      b) How to configure another port (other than port 80) in satellite server for communicating between the Satellite server and clients?

      Steps to Reproduce:

      3.

      Actual results:

      • The use of port 80 is a one-time thing for provisioning only, at least for everything. The kickstart template, installation media, and downloading the subscription-manager configuration RPM all use port 80.
      • The configuration RPM is hard coded to use port 80, and the installation media is too hard coded. The Template could be moved to a different port like 8000 using the templates proxy, but that doesn't get you anything if the other 2 uses are going through 80.

      Expected results:
      Customer should configure ports (other than port 80) in satellite server to communicate between satellite and clients. Currently, port 80 is hard coded in satellite server.
