Chapter 7. Managing organizations

Procedure

1. In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Administer > Organizations.
2. Click New Organization.
3. In the Name field, enter a name for the organization.
4. In the Label field, enter a unique identifier for the organization. This is used for creating and mapping certain assets, such as directories for content storage. Use letters, numbers, underscores, and dashes, but no spaces.

5. Optional: If you do not wish to enable Simple Content Access (SCA), uncheck the Simple Content Access checkbox. For more information on SCA, see Simple Content Access.

   Note

   Red Hat does not recommend disabling SCA as entitlement mode is deprecated.

6. Optional: In the Description field, enter a description for the organization.
7. Click Submit.
8. If you have hosts with no organization assigned, select the hosts that you want to add to the organization, then click Proceed to Edit.
9. In the Edit page, assign the infrastructure resources that you want to add to the organization. This includes networking resources, installation media, kickstart templates, and other parameters. You can return to this page at any time by navigating to Administer > Organizations and then selecting an organization to edit.
10. Click Submit.

CLI procedure

1. To create an organization, enter the following command:

   # hammer organization create \
   --name "My_Organization" \
   --label "My_Organization_Label" \
   --description "My_Organization_Description"

   Note

   Organizations created this way have Simple Content Access (SCA) enabled by default. If you wish to disable SCA, add the --simple-content-access false parameter to the command. Red Hat does not advise you to disable SCA because entitlement mode (not using SCA) is deprecated.

2. Optional: To edit an organization, enter the hammer organization update command. For example, the following command assigns a compute resource to the organization:

   # hammer organization update \
   --name "My_Organization" \
   --compute-resource-ids 1

Procedure

1. In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Administer > Organizations.
2. Select an organization that you want to generate a debug certificate for.
3. Click Generate and Download.
4. Save the certificate file in a secure location.

Procedure

1. Split the private and public keys from the certificate into two files.

   1. Open the X.509 certificate, for example, for the default organization:

      $ vi 'Default Organization-key-cert.pem'

   2. Copy the contents of the file from -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- to -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----, into a key.pem file.
   3. Copy the contents of the file from -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- to -----END CERTIFICATE-----, into a cert.pem file.
2. To use a browser, you must first convert the X.509 certificate to a format your browser supports and then import the certificate.

For Firefox users

1. Convert the certificate into the PKCS12 format using the following command:

   $ openssl pkcs12 -keypbe PBE-SHA1-3DES -certpbe PBE-SHA1-3DES -export -in cert.pem -inkey key.pem -out My_Organization_Label.pfx -name My_Organization

2. In the Firefox browser, navigate to Edit > Preferences > Advanced Tab.
3. Select View Certificates and click the Your Certificates tab.
4. Click Import and select the .pfx file to load.

5. Enter the following URL in the address bar to browse the accessible paths for all the repositories and check their contents:

   https://satellite.example.com/pulp/content/
