You can now perform the following operations:
- Add containers to RHUI

Synchronize these containers regularly along with containers from
registry.redhat.ioor any other registry of your choice -
Offer the containers to client virtual machines using a special client configuration RPM. You can create the configuration RPM using the
rhui-managertext user interface.
- Status reports for RHUI related services are now available
-
With this update, the repository synchronization status, the validity status of the RHUI CA certificate, and the statuses of services running on the RHUA, CDS, and HAProxy nodes are now available. In the case of services running on the nodes, you can view the statuses by running the
rhui-manager statuscommand on the RHUA node. - Custom CA certificates, custom keys, and SSL certificates are now supported
With this update, you can specify the following certificates and keys during RHUI installation:
- Custom CA certificates and keys on the RHUA node
- Custom CA certificate and key that will be used to generate client entitlement certificates
- Custom CA certificate and key that will be used to generate client SSL certificates
- Custom SSL certificate and key for the web server when adding a CDS node. Note that this certificate must be usable for all the load balancers and CDS host names that you are using with your RHUI installation
- Repository path prefixes can now be defined
-
Previously, you could only access repositories by using paths with the
/pulp/contentprefix. With this update, you can now define the path prefixes and access repositories using these custom path prefixes. In addition, you can also configure protected and unprotected custom repositories to use custom prefixes.

/var/log/messagesfile:... Invalid entitlement path %s found ...
With this update, the error message has been clarified and reworded to the following message:

3.3. Known Issues
This part describes known issues in Red Hat Update Infrastructure 4.1.1.
rhui-installerignores custom RHUI CA when updating to a newer version of RHUIWhen updating from RHUI version 4.1.0 or older,
rhui-installerignores the existing custom RHUI CA and generates a new RHUI CA regardless of the parameter value set in theanswer.ymlfile. Consequently, RHUI fails to recognize clients which use the older RHUI CA. To work around this problem, specify the custom RHUI CA when running therhui-installer --reruncommand.# rhui-installer --rerun --user-supplied-rhui-ca-crt <custom_RHUI_CA.crt> --user-supplied-rhui-ca-key <custom_RHUI_CA_key>For more information, see Updating Red Hat Update Infrastructure.
