No Longer Able to See Published Content Views When Navigating to Satellite FQDN /pulp/content/ Pathway

Solution Verified - Updated

Environment

  • Red Hat Satellite 6

Issue

  • Users are not able to see published content views when navigating to the the https://satellite.example.com/pulp/content/ pathway of a Satellite server in a web browser.

  • Only the lifecycle environment and the content view are visible in Satellite, but the repositories are missing from the ContentView path.

  • In earlier versions of Satellite, users were able to navigate to the published content views.

Resolution

  • As of Satellite 6.14, there is a new configuration which controls the visibility of published content views that have content guards on them. When the setting is set to true, any published content that has a content guard will not be seen from the web browser.

  • To disable this feature, run this command from the Satellite terminal:

    # satellite-installer --foreman-proxy-content-pulpcore-hide-guarded-distributions false

Root Cause

  • Pulp 3 has a feature to block content from being navigated to in the web browser called content guard.
  • If a published repository in a content view has a content guard, and the Satellite has the foreman-proxy-content-pulpcore-hide-guarded-distributions value in the satellite-installer set to true, then users will not be able to access/view their published content views in the Satellite UI under the /pulp/content/ pathway.
