Hi guys

Generic answer without knowing the foreman/katello version you use:

See docs: Content Management Guide

We need to know to create 4. In the URL to Discover field, enter the Redhat Repo not Syc with Centos

1.2.1. Creating repositories to synchronize

Use this procedure to discover available repositories in the CentOS Stream, then select the repositories to mirror into a product.

Procedure

In the Foreman web UI, navigate to Content > Products.
Click Repo Discovery.
In the Repository Type field, select Yum Repositories.
In the URL to Discover field, enter the CentOS Stream URL http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8-stream.
Click Discover.
Select /AppStream/x86_64/os/ and /BaseOS/x86_64/os/ repositories.
Click Create Selected.
In the Product field select New Product.
In the Name field enter CentOS Stream or desired product name.
Click Run Repository Creation.

To view your newly created product, navigate to Content > Products, and select the name of the new product.

I did not link to chapter 1.2.1 but to chapter 4. My browser immediately takes me there if I click on the link above. Read chapter 4 “Managing Subscriptions”. You need to import the subscription from redhat to get the repositories. The manifest contains all the information.

OK Add Manifest Subscription on Redhat but we have mesage error

Ricardo · June 25, 2021, 12:57pm

Hello

When importing the maniest of Redhat in foreman we got an error 401 unahutorized, this might not have communication? have any other access problem? What is the baseurl you use to connect to subscriptions and repositories?

When try to Discovery Repository we have recibe this error

kobena · June 25, 2021, 1:26pm

Can you fullfill this ?

The process of adding redhat repositories is documented.

Quickly, you have to create a subscription allocation with type SAM 1.4 and add the desired subscriptions to it. Then you download the manifest and add it to the foreman.
From there you can add the repos in Content> Redhat repos. It then appears in the products, it only remains to sync.

Notes the redhat repos available are directly linked to the subscriptions added in the manifest.

If you use a proxy, you can enter it in Settings> General.

i have do this

subscription-manager register --auto-attach


* Run the following command to enable the rhel-6-server-sam-rpms repository and disable Enhanced Updates (EUS) repository

[Raw](https://access.redhat.com/solutions/70584#)

subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-6-server-sam-rpms --disable rhel-server-rhscl-6-eus-rpms


* Then, install Subscription Asset Manager using

[Raw](https://access.redhat.com/solutions/70584#)

yum install -y katello-headpin-all


* Then, configure Subscription Asset Manager (see [Additional Examples of the Configuration Script](https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Subscription_Management/1/html/Using_Subscription_Asset_Manager/sect-Red_Hat_Subscription_Asset_Manager-User_Guide-Installing_SAM-Additional_Examples_of_the_Configuration_Script.html) for options to override default values or populate from answer file) with following command (the --org option is not required but helpful to set to the name of the initial organization name for your deployment, otherwise it defaults to "ACME_Corporation")

[Raw](https://access.redhat.com/solutions/70584#)

katello-configure --deployment=sam --org=Name_of_Your_Org --user-pass=Your_Admin_Password

KR ricardo.

gvde · June 28, 2021, 7:41am

You have to assign entitlements to the allocation and then export the manifest and import it into foreman.

How many entitlements have you assigned to the allocation?

Ricardo · June 28, 2021, 8:33am

we have 3 entitlements on alocate subscription

and add 1 maybe I have to add all 3? is that so?

gvde · June 28, 2021, 8:47am

Now export the manifest and import it into foreman.

Ricardo · June 28, 2021, 9:26am
