RHSM.CONF(5)

NAME
rhsm.conf - Configuration file for the subscription-mananager tooling

DESCRIPTION

The rhsm.conf file is the configuration file for various subscription manager tooling. This includes subscription-manager, subscription-manager-gui, rhsmcertd, and virt-who.

[SERVER] OPTIONS

hostname
    The hostname of the subscription service being used. The default is the Red Hat Customer Portal which is subscription.rhn.redhat.com.

prefix
    Server prefix where the subscription service is registered.

port
    The port which the subscription service is listening on.

insecure
    This flag enables or disables certification verification using the certificate authorities which are installed in /etc/rhsm/ca.

ssl_verify_depth
    Sets the number of certificates which should be used to verify the servers identity. This is an advanced control which can be used to secure on premise installations.

proxy_hostname
    Set this to a non-blank value if subscription-manager should use a reverse proxy to access the subscription service. This sets the host for the reverse proxy.

proxy_port
    Set this to a non-blank value if subscription-manager should use a reverse proxy to access the subscription service. This sets the port for the reverse proxy.

proxy_username
    Set this to a non-blank value if subscription-manager should use an authenticated reverse proxy to access the subscription service. This sets the username for the reverse proxy.

proxy_password
    Set this to a non-blank value if subscription-manager should use an authenticated reverse proxy to access the subscription service. This sets the password for the reverse proxy.

[RHSM] OPTIONS

baseurl
    This setting is the prefix for all content which is managed by the subscription service. This should be the hostname for the Red Hat CDN, the local Satellite or Capsule depending on your deployment.

ca_cert_dir
    The location for the certificates which are used to communicate with the server and to pulldown content.

repo_ca_cert
    The certificate to use for server side authentication during content downloads.

productCertDir
    The directory where product certificates should be stored.

entitlementCertDir
    The directory where entitlement certificates should be stored.

consumerCertDir
    The directory where the consumers identity certificate is stored.

manage_repos
    Set this to 1 if subscription manager should manage a yum repos file. If set, it will manage the file /etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo. If set to 0 then the subscription is only used for tracking purposes, not content.

full_refresh_on_yum
    Set to 1 if the /etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo should be updated with every server command. This will make yum less efficient, but can ensure that the most recent data is brought down from the subscription service.

report_package_profile
    Set to 1 if rhsmcertd should report the system’s current package profile to the subscription service. This report helps the subscription service provide better errata notifications.

pluginDir
    The directory to search for subscription manager plugins

pluginConfDir
    The directory to search for plugin configuration files

[RHSMCERTD] OPTIONS

certCheckInterval
    The number of minutes between runs of the rhsmcertd daemon

autoAttachInterval
    The number of minutes between attempts to run auto-attach on this consumer.
