Plugins » foreman_setup

Greetings, Lukas (#lzap) Zapletal asked me to file this as he was able to replicate it. (via Foreman-users @ google groups)

When using foreman_setup on a brand new system, I get an error(below) on the last stage of the setup, just after entering the hostname of our Satellite server, the Satellite dropdown option and our corresponding rhn_activation key.

Much of the setup seems to occur, but the $activation_key seems to fail to make it into foreman. I can build a RHEL6.6 system, but it fails to register since the key is missing. This also prevents puppet from installing in the next stage as dependent software is missing. (my first idea of a workaround was to just have puppet register the host.)

If you have a workaround where I could enter the $activation_key into foreman manually, that would be great.

Feel free to contact me for additional details/testing.

Foreman version: 1.8.1 RHEL 6 x86_64 (rpm)
OS: RHEL6.6
URL: https://<foreman_server>/foreman_setup/provisioners/1/step4_update
