Hey guys,
I’m still using SLES15SP6 here, and unfortunately, that can’t be changed. Please excuse me for asking questions about Foreman under SLES. I know half the world likes Red Hat or MS.
Maybe you can still help me…
Foreman is running, and so a smart proxy on the same server. I added the smart proxy under “Infrastructure” → “Smart Proxy,” and it’s found there. I also set up an Apache reverse proxy for Foreman and supplied it with our PKI certificates. Foreman is now accessible on port 443, and all the certificates appear to be working. Our CA certificates are distributed across the clients.
However, there still appear to be one or two problems. The waiting icon for the smart proxy status keeps spinning. The communication status icon also spins under the details.
The /var/log/foreman-proxy/proxy.log has this:

I suspect I’m simply missing a few Ruby gems for the smart proxy. Or what else could it be?
If the smart proxy is running properly, can I then import my Ansible roles here? Unfortunately, it doesn’t do that yet.
You have a foreman installer on the supported operating systems. Is that a script I could use as a guide? Or how else can I proceed here?
