An update that has three fixes can now be installed.

Description:

This update for rmt-server fixes the following issues:

PubCloud: - Update the way allowed paths are checked SUMA requested a new feature where it is possible to validate all versions of the same product and arch (that are allowed to that system)

PubCloud: - De-register BYOS systems using RMT as a proxy from SCC - De-activate a single product from a BYOS proxy system

PubCloud: - Add the handling of the BYOS systems that use RMT as a SCC proxy In order to do that: - New boolean column in systems table in db: proxy_byos - Skip the sync with SCC (using that column) - Registration of the system to SCC (announce system call and then use SCC credentials) - Activation of products - Check subscription is active/valid for a product/repo to be accessed

  • Version 2.7.0
  • Add subscription support in RMT. RMT can now consume registration codes supplied when registering a system.
  • Add host's login header to API requests to SCC. If the information is available, RMT will send it on requests to attach the registration proxy to a host system in SCC.
  • Add extra check to product dependency on RMT API. Now, when a system tries to activate a module through RMT, if it requires a root product which is not activated, the activation will fail (bsc#951189).

  • Load global configuration only if it can be ready by the current process.

  • Version 2.6.12

  • Re-fix broken symlinks: This version fixes the bug-fix deployed with version 2.6.11. Reference bug (bsc#1188043)
  • Handle special characters in package names (bsc#1189805)
