Can you in the next meeting please look into having a release for Smart Proxy which includes Fixes #38241 - Extend userdata API by MAC address endpoint by bastian-src · Pull Request #912 · theforeman/smart-proxy · GitHub and if this could be backported to supported versions? It is required for provisioning Ubuntu via HTTPBoot behind a Smart Proxy. Thanks in advance!

Looking it over, looks like it was merged into the develop branch. Meaning it will go out with the next release, foreman 3.16. As far as backporting, i am not sure at the moment, but i’ll bring it up in the matrix channel.
