Description

Apparently there is a display error on the proxy details page under: Infrastructure-->Smart Proxies--> Proxy-Name -->Overview

After executing the command " foreman-installer --no-enable-foreman-proxy-plugin-ansible " to disable Ansible on the proxy, Ansible is still displayed as an active feature on the GUI page:

However, the changes are made in the " /etc/foreman-installer/scenarios.d/foreman-proxy-content-answers.yaml " file:

foreman_proxy::plugin::ansible: false

The value was true before executing the above command.

Looks to me like the SmartProxy Ansible plugin cannot be disabled using `foreman-installer --no-enable-foreman-proxy-plugin-ansible`.

The --no-enable-... parameter will set foreman_proxy::plugin::ansible: false in the answers.yml. This means puppet will turn back to the default parameters, setting $enabled to true.

It can be disabled by setting the following in the answers.yml:

foreman_proxy::plugin::ansible:
  enabled: false

This might be the same for other Smart Proxy plugins.

Almost correct. The --no-enable part stops managing the Ansible plugin, leaving it unmanaged. That can be that it is installed.

I'll admit this is confusing.

Please never recommend people to edit answers.yml manually. While it can be done, we have an installer:

foreman-installer --foreman-proxy-plugin-ansible-enabled false
