Example

Registering Clients to RHN Server with activation keys:

Un-register Clients RHN Server with activation keys:

Installing

In your puppet modules directory:

git clone https://github.com/nohtyp/rhnreg_ks.git

Ensure the module is present in your puppetmaster's own environment (it doesn't have to use it) and that the master has pluginsync enabled. Run the agent on the puppetmaster to cause the custom types to be synced to its local libdir (puppet master --configprint libdir) and then restart the puppetmaster so it loads them.

Notes

username and password are required to connect to the RHN, SATELLITE, SPACEWALK server to check if server previously exists.

In a normal configuration username/password and activationkeys could not be used together, but since this module will support RHN, SATELLITE, SPACEWALK register and un-register by being able to log into the system using the api it needs username/password.

To see the output of what the module is doing, run with the --debug option.
