request for module rhn_register

[pvp1932]

Hello,

a request for module rhn_register to add --proxy option of therhnreg_ks command,  to the module for target servers that do not have direct access to the public network.

regards,

There doesn't seem to be any way to pass additional options to the rhnreg_ks command that the rhn_register Ansible module builds up.

The only two workarounds I can think off are:

a) Amend the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date config file and specify the proxy details in there. See this SO answer as there may be missing config lines for proxyPassword / proxyUser which you will need to add manually.

b) if you replace /usr/sbin/rhnreg_ks with a script which calls the original /usr/sbin/rhnreg_ks with the --proxy + --proxyUser + --proxyPassword options + whatever is passed on the command line.

Both of those are ugly since with a) you have credentials saved in a file and with b) your modifying sbin contents.

You should raise a Github issue for this feature request.
