Problem Statement

Currently, the global registration template does not provide options to set the "Comment" and "Owner" fields when registering a host via automation. As a result, these important metadata attributes must be added manually post-registration, which impacts automation workflows.

User Experience & Workflow

The customer aims to automate Red Hat Satellite server provisioning, including host registration. They use the following command to register hosts:

~~~

URL="https://satellite/register?activation_keys=RHEL9_$ENVIRONNEMENT&download_utility=curl&location_id=2&operatingsystem_id=11&organization_id=1&packages=katello-host-tools+katello-host-tools-tracer&update_packages=true"
set -o pipefail && curl --silent --show-error $URL \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer $JETON' | bash

~~~

However, the current implementation lacks options to set the following fields:

• Comment

• Owner

Requirements

Extend the global registration template functionality to support the following:

• Ability to specify a Comment during host registration.

• Ability to assign an Owner to the host as part of the registration process.

Business Impact

Due to the lack of support for setting "Comment" and "Owner" fields during registration:

• Hosts are not fully configured post-registration.

• Manual intervention is required, which breaks automation pipelines.
