Problem:
I am attempting to provision a RHEL 8 host using the Discovery image. The installation media is as follows:
https://hostname.ac.uk/pulp/content/organisation_name/Library/content/dist/rhel8/8/x86_64/baseos/os/
This fails when attempting to connect to the protected Red Hat repository, giving a 403 error. I can’t find any way to provide the certificates to allow access to the repository.
This method works when provisioning a Rocky 8 host.
Any information or workarounds would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Expected outcome:
Provisions host
Foreman and Proxy versions:
Foreman 3.7.0
No proxy
Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:
foreman_discovery 22.0.4
katello 4.9.2
foreman_remote_execution 10.0.7
foreman-tasks 8.1.1
Discovery image version: 4.1.0
Distribution and version:
Rocky 8.8

This template is used to pass command line options to kexec when reloading
kernel on a discovered host instead of rebooting. This is useful in PXE-less
environments. The template must generate JSON format with the following items
"kernel", "initram", "append" and "extra". The kexec command is composed in
the following way:
kexec --force --reset-vga --append=$append --initrd=$initram $extra $kernel
Please read kexec(8) man page for more information about semantics.
