aweiteka 78dbbe68fe Add support Red Hat Network (RHN) 
This provides basic support to register to the Red Hat Network
(RHN Classic) for packages. The image is unregistered from RHN
before completing image build. The rhnsd service is prevented
from starting since it is not needed for packagage install.

Overrides:

General

  • Set DIB_CLOUD_IMAGES to a URL for downloading base Red Hat Enterprise Linux cloud image.
  • Set DIB_CLOUD_RELEASE to a use a non-default name for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux cloud image.

Red Hat Subscription Manager (RHSM)

Certificate-based Red Hat Subscription Managment (RHSM) is the default registration type.

  • Set DIB_RHSM_USER and DIB_RHSM_PASSWORD to register the system with RHSM during the image building process. This will apply the associated Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server subscription so the latest package updates can be applied. At the end of the image building process, the system will be unregistered from RHSM.
  • Set DIB_RHSM_POOL to a subscription pool if you do not want the system to use the --auto-attach feature of subscription-manager.

Red Hat Network (RHN)

Set DIB_REG_TYPE=rhn for Red Hat Network (RHN classic) registration. The image building process will register the system to RHN and apply the associated Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server subscription so the latest package updates can be applied. At the end of the image building process, the system will be unregistered from RHN.

  • For RHN username/password authentication set DIB_RHSM_USER and DIB_RHSM_PASSWORD.
