Bug #36544

Empty The Foreman and Katello repository on client side
Description
I want to install The Foreman External Smart Proxy on separate server.
Repository management for Foreman Smart Proxy is done by The Foreman Server.
Smart proxy server gets corresponding repositories, but there are no packages visible.
1) Software:
RHEL 8.8 for The Foreman and The Foreman Smart Proxy
The Foreman 3.7
Katello 4.9
2) Steps to reproduce
Create Product "Foreman server"
Add repositories to the product:
a) Foreman:
Type: yum
Upstream URL: https://yum.theforeman.org/releases/3.7/el8/x86_64/
Verify SSL: Yes
Unprotected: Yes
b) Katello:
Type: yum
Upstream URL: https://yum.theforeman.org/katello/4.9/katello/el8/x86_64/
Verify SSL: Yes
Unprotected: Yes
Sync repositories
Create, publish new version and promote content view named "Foreman server" for Production "Lifecycle Environment" with enabled Foreman and Katello repositories
Create Activation Key with Content view "Foreman server"
Activate server with RHEL 8.8 with activation key: subscription-manager register --org="Default_Organization" --activationkey="Foreman Smart Proxy activation key"
Check repositories: dnf repolist
Check available packages: dnf clean all && sudo dnf repo-pkgs Default_Organization_Foreman_server_Katello list
3) Expected result
Packages from Default_Organization_Foreman_server_Katello repository should be listed
4) Actual result
Packages from Default_Organization_Foreman_server_Katello are not listed - the list is empty
5) Characterization/isolation
The issue persists with or without GPGKEY configured in The Foreman repositories
Repository with packages are visible on The Foreman server via web browser: https://<the_foreman_server_fqdn>/pulp/content/Default_Organization/Production/Foreman_server/custom/Foreman_server/Katello/
The same repository is set on the Client in file /etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo

The issue is related with DISA STIG security profile.
I tried to install foreman-proxy-content package on RHEL 8.8 with DIS STIG, but the Foreman and Katello repos are not available from repository placed directly in /etc/yum.repos.d

Hi,
We are going to look at this issue, in the meantime can you open an thread on https://community.theforeman.org and post your question here as well incase other members of the community have hit this or have a possible workaround?
Also, can you post the `/var/log/rhsm.log` and output of `yum repolist -vvv`

/var/log/rhsm.log does not exist.
Output from yum repolist -vvv is below
[superadmin@foreman-smart-proxy ~]$ sudo cat /var/log/rhsm.log
cat: /var/log/rhsm.log: No such file or directory
[superadmin@foreman-smart-proxy ~]$ sudo yum repolist -vvv

The issue is solved. Reason was in lack of one command during configuration:
sudo dnf -y module enable katello:el8
After executing the command foreman and katello packages are visible in the repository.
Thanks for you assistance.
