I am setting up a new katello/foreman server with current 4.4/3.2 on AlmaLinux 8. I wanted to set the certs module city, state, etc. but I get an error:
2022-04-22 10:54:01 [ERROR ] [root] Parameter certs-regenerate invalid: "--certs-city=Hamburg" is not a valid boolean
That can’t be right. From full-help:
--certs-city City attribute for managed certificates (current: "Raleigh")
Can anyone shed some light on this?
Hi @gvde ,
It looks to me that you passed something like foreman-installer --certs-regenerate --certs-city=Hamburg
The error says to me that the installer was expecting something like foreman-installer --certs-regenerate true --certs-city Hamburg so it was expecting a boolean value to follow --certs-regenerate and tried to interpret the next thing as that.
Let us know if this helps to solve the issue… thanks!
Kind regards,
You must be right. That makes the most sense, although on that server and that installation there shouldn’t be any --certs-regenerate because it’s the initial foreman-installer run on a new server.
But at that time I have did some certificate tests on a different server where I did use --certs-regenerate to see how to replace certificates if I need it. I guess it was a copy&paste error on my end, accidentally pasting the command from the other server on my new server. Next day, I have tried again and it worked again probably because I have copied the command from my notes this time…
