Workaround suggested by Stephen.

~~~
1) Backup the file

1. cp /usr/share/foreman-installer/modules/foreman_proxy/manifests/register.pp /usr/share/foreman-installer/modules/foreman_proxy/manifests/register.pp.bk

2) Add httpd service as required.

---

1. Register the foreman proxy
   class foreman_proxy::register {

   if $foreman_proxy::register_in_foreman {
   foreman_smartproxy { $foreman_proxy::registered_name:
   ensure => present,
   base_url => $foreman_proxy::foreman_base_url,
   consumer_key => $foreman_proxy::oauth_consumer_key,
   consumer_secret => $foreman_proxy::oauth_consumer_secret,
   effective_user => $foreman_proxy::oauth_effective_user,
   ssl_ca => pick($foreman_proxy::foreman_ssl_ca, $foreman_proxy::ssl_ca),
   url => $foreman_proxy::real_registered_proxy_url,
   require => Service['httpd'],
   }
   }

}
