redhat_manifest.content_access_mode does not change Simple Content Access on existing manifests

[jeremylenz]

SUMMARY

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2283543

Since Katello 4.7, SCA status has been tied to the local Katello organization, not the manifest. Therefore, Katello no longer can change the content_access_mode flag of the manifest, and this flag is ignored by Katello.

Not sure which Katello API endpoint this module calls, but some SCA-related endpoints were removed in Katello 4.12, so this may fail much less silently in 4.12+.

ISSUE TYPE

• Bug Report

EXPECTED RESULTS

Can we remove this content_access_mode param based on Katello version? or maybe it should just be removed period.

ACTUAL RESULTS

according to the BZ, it updates the manifest with no errors, but ignores the content_access_mode param.

This module doesn't talk to Katello but to the Portal.

When will that one go SCA-only?

This module doesn't talk to Katello but to the Portal.

ah, that makes more sense :)

When will that one go SCA-only?

@sideangleside can answer that with more accuracy; I just know it hasn't happened yet.

Likely some time in 2025.
