Environment

ITMS 8.5, 8.6

Cause

Issues are due to the use of a new version of Candlepin (software subscription management tool).

This results in an inability to download the required certificates Red Hat uses in their subscription security and verification.

Resolution

This issue will be resolved in version 8.7 when it is released.

There is a point fix available for ITMS 8.5 RU4, 8.6 RU2 and 8.6 RU3 releases. See:

KB 198337 "CUMULATIVE POST ITMS 8.5 RU4 POINT FIXES"
KB 235538 "CUMULATIVE POST ITMS 8.6 RU2 POINT FIXES"
KB 249427 "CUMULATIVE POST ITMS 8.6 RU3 POINT FIXES"

The changes implemented in the point fixes will provide support for the new version of Candlepin (software subscription management tool).
