6.16.0
Description of problem:
As per the release notes of satellite 6.16 as well as https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-24520 , Port 8443 would be disabled by default and is not expected to be used.
Despite the reference of the port has been removed from Installation docs, It still exists in the "Using the Satellite REST API" doc of Satellite 6.16, at the very beginning of Chapter 6. API cheat sheet
You can address these different port requirements within the script itself. For example, in Ruby, you can specify the Satellite Server and Capsule Server URLs as follows:
url = 'https://satellite.example.com/api/v2/' capsule_url = 'https://capsule.example.com:8443/api/v2/' katello_url = 'https://satellite.example.com/katello/api/v2/'
For the host that is registered to Satellite Server or Capsule Server, you can determine the correct port required to access the API from the /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf file, in the port entry of the [server] section. You can use these values to fully automate your scripts, removing any need to verify which ports to use.
We should also not mention anything about running APIs via Capsule but please get a confirmation of the same from the Platform team.
Is this issue a regression from an earlier version:
Yes
