- ensure: Valid values are
present
,absent
. Default value ispresent
. - force: Should the registration be forced. Use this option with caution, setting it true will cause the rhnreg_ks command to be run every time runs. Default value
false
. - force_check: Should the registration be forced if the server_url on the current system has a mismatch with the one defined during the puppet run. Default value
false
. - hardware: Whether or not the hardware information should be probed. Default value is
true
. - packages: Whether or not packages information should be probed. Default value is
true
. - password: The password to use when registering the system
- profile_name: The name the system should use in RHN or Satellite
- proxy: If needed, specify the HTTP Proxy
- proxy_password: Specify a password to use with an authenticated http proxy
- proxy_user: Specify a username to use with an authenticated http proxy

true
. - server_url: Specify a url to use as a server
- ssl_ca_cert: Specify a file to use as the ssl CA cert
- username: The username to use when registering the system
- virtinfo: Whether or not virtualiztion information should be uploaded. Default value is

Registering Clients to Red Hat Network RHN Satellite Server:
rhn_register { 'server.example.com': activationkeys => '1-myactivationkey', server_url => 'https://satellite.example.com/XMLRPC', ssl_ca_cert => '/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT', }
Registering Clients to RHN Server:
rhn_register { 'server.example.com': activationkeys => '888888888eeeeeee888888eeeeee8888', username => 'myusername', password => 'mypassword', server_url => 'https://xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/XMLRPC', ssl_ca_cert => '/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT', force => true, }
Adding a Channel:
rhn_channel { 'centos6-scl-x86_64': ensure => present, username => 'myusername', password => 'mypassword', }
In your puppet modules directory:
git clone https://github.com/strider/puppet-rhnreg_ks.git
Ensure the module is present in your puppetmaster's own environment (it doesn't
have to use it) and that the master has pluginsync enabled. Run the agent on
the puppetmaster to cause the custom types to be synced to its local libdir
(puppet master --configprint libdir
) and then restart the puppetmaster so it
loads them.
