Delete a DHCP lease in Foreman-Proxy DHCP using REST API

Support

Problem:
Foreman is our DHCP server with proxy dhcp enabled (isc-dhcp). I am trying to delete an active IP address lease using smart-proxy REST API:
curl -ks --tlsv1 --cacert /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl/ca/ca_crt.pem --cert /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl/certs/foreman.example.org.pem --key /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl/private_keys/foreman.example.org.pem -X DELETE https://foreman.example.org:8443/dhcp/192.168.124.0/mac/XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

This just shows:

IP_ADDRESS / MAC_ADDRESS is static - unable to delete

However there is a lease entry for that MAC address in dhcpd.leases.

Expected outcome:
Lease gets deleted from dhcpd.leases

Hello, leases cannot be deleted, they expire because DHCP client was already given a lease for some (limited) period. So all you need to do is just wait. ISC OMAPI does not provide a way to delete an existing lease I believe. You can’t even create leases using that API.
