Have 3.6.0.1.rc2 installed and configured with Red Hat subscriptions. All working fine except of below issue. I understand Katello content management subsystem very well - i.e. all necessary objects are created and setup. I can subscribe target systems to repositories.
Problem:
yum commands repolist|install|update throws below error message. This is the only repo I have troubles with but that’s the most important one. This happens for all content views
https:///pulp/repos////content/dist/rhel/server/7/7Server/x86_64/os/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTPS Error 404 - Not Found
Expected outcome:
yum work normally
Foreman and Proxy versions: 1.17.0-RC2 / 3.6.0.1.rc2
Foreman and Proxy plugin versions: 1.17.0-RC2
Other relevant data:
If that’s an actual RHEL REPO, you can’t access it without loading the Katello TLS certificate into your browser if you’re trying to get to by browsing.
As to a system trying to yum install from it, you should be able to go into content->products->Redhat Enterprise Linux Server->Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Server RPMs x86_64 7Server
You should see a “Published At:” URL (which LOOKS right above in your case). Make sure that matches what’s in your /etc/yum.repos.d file.
Other than that, do you show Packages / Eratta / etc. in that archive? It’s been synced already?
I know this is just general stuff, but sometimes it’s the silly stuff that gets you.
No it’s not about my browser - it’s the yum that fails to get metadata for RHEL7 repo (and ONLY for it) after a successful registration. All repos setup in my Katello are successfully synced, have errata. If disable this problematic RHEL7 repo in yum (config or cmdline) - I can install packages from any other Katello manged repos without any issues.

Yea, mostly what I was trying to validate was that the url line in your /etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo matched the “Published At” line in Katello’s Products section for that repository.
You could use the web interface to attempt to diagnose this: If you load the certificate from the Products section into your web browser you should be able to browse to that archive (Published At) through a browser to see if you get nothing returned or something returned.
On your Katello Master Host, you should also be able to go to:
/var/lib/pulp/published/yum/https/repos/< ORGANIZATION >/Library/< CONTENT VIEW >/content/dist/rhel/server/7/7Server/x86_64
Under that, you should see an “os” symbolic link which if followed should take you to the RHEL7 Packages and Repodata directory. Is there anything under that?

Well… the long story short.
When you setup your RH repos in Katello - always set checkboxes for all software releases you need (i.e. 7.3, 7.4) AND ALSO for $releasever for you RH OS. (see below)
RedHat (at least 7.x) resolves $releasever yum variable to “7Server”. Once repo(s) synced in Katello - don’t forget add them to your content views, publish new versions and promote to appropriate lifecycle environment(s).
Below command will print you the yum vars:
python -c ‘import yum, pprint; yb = yum.YumBase(); pprint.pprint(yb.conf.yumvar, width=1)’
