[katello-devel] Subscription Manager with credentials

[Bryan Kearney]

Got alot further this time on the basic patch management stories. Latets 
issue is because of certifiates.

If i register a consumer, it uses basic auth. Future calls use an 
identity certificate. Here is an example.

Register a machine using subscription manager. Assume the machines UUID 
is now:

a7a248fd-9c53-4b01-b4ee-cb83f5469bb0


the following command will work:

sudo curl -k --user "admin:admin" 
https://10.11.230.185/katello/api/consumers/a7a248fd-9c53-4b01-b4ee-cb83f5469bb0


the following will not

sudo curl -k --cert /etc/pki/consumer/cert.pem --key 
/etc/pki/consumer/key.pem 
https://10.11.230.185/katello/api/consumers/a7a248fd-9c53-4b01-b4ee-cb83f5469bb0


The identity ceritifcate carries the ID of the consumer and needs to be 
extracted. Both calls should have worked.
