Chapter 4. Deprecated functionalities
This section provides an overview of functionalities that are deprecated in Red Hat Satellite 6.18.
Deprecated functionalities will likely not be supported in future releases of this product and are not recommended for new deployments. For the most recent list of deprecated functionality within a particular major release, refer to the latest version of release documentation.
The support status of deprecated functionality remains unchanged within Red Hat Satellite 6.18. For information about the length of support, see Red Hat Enterprise Linux Life Cycle and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Application Streams Life Cycle.
Deprecated hardware components are not recommended for new deployments on the current or future releases. Hardware driver updates are limited to security and critical fixes only. Red Hat recommends replacing this hardware as soon as reasonably feasible.
A package can be deprecated and not recommended for further use. Under certain circumstances, a package can be removed from a product. Product documentation then identifies more recent packages that offer functionality similar, identical, or more advanced to the one deprecated, and provides further recommendations.
GRUB Legacy is deprecated in provisioning
GRUB Legacy, also known as GRUB version 1, is deprecated in provisioning and will be removed in a future release. GRUB 1 was used by end of life distributions such as RHEL 6. Current applications use GRUB 2 and are not affected by the deprecation.
First deprecated in Satellite 6.18.
Puppet packages included in Satellite are deprecated
The puppet-agent and puppetserver packages, which are currently included in Satellite, are deprecated. In a future release, Satellite will stop providing these packages. Satellite will continue providing integration with OpenVox or Puppet packages that customers implement in their environment.

Sendmail is deprecated for delivering email

First deprecated in Satellite 6.18.
Legacy content host UI pages are deprecated
The legacy content host pages in the UI are deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
This deprecation includes the legacy content host list page, accessible from the main navigation Hosts > Content Hosts, and the legacy content host details page, accessible from the Content Hosts list page or from the Legacy UI menu item on the host details page.
As an alternative, use the new All Hosts UI, which is the default.
First deprecated in Satellite 6.18.
External authentication with Red Hat Single Sign-On is deprecated
Configuring Satellite with Red Hat Single Sign-On (RH SSO) as an external authentication source is deprecated. The RH SSO 7 product family reached End of Full Support. Instead of RH SSO, you can configure Red Hat build of Keycloak as an external authentication source for Satellite.
To migrate from using RH SSO in your Satellite deployment, reconfigure the authentication source settings on your 6.17 Satellite Server to follow the requirements for Red Hat build of Keycloak. For more information, see Configuring SSO and 2FA with Red Hat build of Keycloak in Satellite.
For information on the current support policy for RH SSO, see Red Hat Application Services Product Update and Support Policy.
First deprecated in Satellite 6.17.
Legacy remote execution job form in the Satellite web UI is deprecated
The option to use the legacy web UI form to run remote execution jobs is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. The new job invocation wizard will be the only available option. Note that the new job invocation wizard is the default method to run remote execution jobs in Satellite 6.13 and later versions.
First deprecated in Satellite 6.17.
iPXE firmware is deprecated
Using iPXE firmware for network-boot provisioning is deprecated. Instead, use HTTP booting for hosts in UEFI mode to reduce provisioning times. Note that iPXE firmware was never officially supported in Red Hat Satellite.
First deprecated in Satellite 6.17
Overriding organizations and locations on the filter level is deprecated
The ability for a filter to override organizations and locations associated with a role is deprecated. When the functionality is removed, filters will respect the organizations and locations set at the role level.
For a related known issue, see Newly created filters do not inherit organizations and locations associated with the role.
