First of all I am new to this mailing list and in general to Foreman so
apologies if this issue was already raised (I tried a google search but
I didn't find anything useful).
I have a weird problem with the rebuilding of hosts, done using the
"build" button of the Foreman UI.
If I connect to the foreman host using a tunnel (because from my
desktop I can't connect directly to the foreman host) i.e. if I do
something like:
ssh -L 8015:<foreman-host>:80 <gate-host>
and then in the browser I open the URL:
http://localhost:8015
to access to the dashboard, if I then want to rebuild a machine clicking
the "build" button, in the relevant kickstart I see:
append initrd=boot/Scientific-6.5-x86_64-initrd.img
ks=http://<foreman-host>:8015/unattended/provision ksdevice=eth0 network
kssendmac
i.e. a port is added in the URL (the same I used for the tunnel).
This port clearly shouldn't be part of the URL and therefore then the
machine can't boot.
Any workaround to address this annoying issue ?
Thanks, Massimo
Which version of Foreman is this? I think it should be addressed in
Foreman 1.4 which the introduction of the unattended_url setting.

Ok, we will update ASAP
Any workarounds that can be applied in the meantime ?
