Feature #11643
closed
Allow through API methods to render templates without configuring a host in build mode
Description
Cloned from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1207044
Description of problem:
If a host isn't in build mode, you cannot check if the kickstart template is rendered properly. Either you enable build mode and use http://sat6host/unattended/provision or you get an authentication cookie and use https://sat6host/unattended/provision?spoof=<hostname>. Both ways are tricky.
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Access to http://sat6host/unattended/provision from a host which is not in build mode and you won't get the template
2. Access to https://sat6.host/unattended/provision/?spoof=>hostname> and you will be redirected to login pages
3. No more methods to get it rendered
Expected results:
At least [1] should work, no matter the build status. Or it would be even better to have any API method to get it rendered.

No, it really should not, it can change states. It is not part of the user API, it should not be called directly. Ditto the spoof URL, it's part of the UI, not API.

Is there a better way for users to get at the rendered ks file?
