{productname} Proxy Registration

Proxy systems are registered as {salt} clients using bootstrap script or {webui}.

This procedure describes software channel setup and registering the installed proxy as the {productname} client, using an activation key.

Procedure: Registering the Proxy

1. On the {productname} Server, create openSUSE Leap and the {productname} Proxy channels with the spacewalk-common-channels command. spacewalk-common-channels is part of the spacewalk-utils package:

   spacewalk-common-channels \
   opensuse_leap15_4 \
   opensuse_leap15_4-non-oss \
   opensuse_leap15_4-non-oss-updates \
   opensuse_leap15_4-updates \
   opensuse_leap15_4-backports-updates \
   opensuse_leap15_4-sle-updates \
   uyuni-proxy-stable-leap-154

   Instead of uyuni-proxy-stable-leap-154 you can also try uyuni-proxy-devel-leap which is the current development version.

   Important

   Before you can select the correct child channels while creating the activation key, ensure you have properly synchronized the {opensuse} Leap channel with all the needed child channels and the {productname} Proxy channel.

2. Create an activation key with {opensuse} Leap as a base channel and the other channels as child channels. For more information about activation keys, see client-configuration:activation-keys.adoc.

3. Create a bootstrap script for the proxy, and adjust it. Add the GPG key to the ORG_GPG_KEY= parameter.

4. Bootstrap the client using the script. For more information, see client-configuration:registration-bootstrap.adoc.

5. Navigate to menu:Salt[Keys] and accept the key. When the key is accepted, the new proxy will show in menu:Systems[Overview] in the Recently Registered Systems section.

6. Alternatively, in the {productname} {webui}, navigate to menu:System[Bootstrapping].

7. Navigate to menu:System Details[Software > Software Channels], and check that the proxy channel is selected.

For setting up a registered {productname} Proxy, see uyuni-proxy-setup.adoc.
