Each entry in /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf should be a configurable param

Some of those settings (like cert path) might be hardcoded in RedHat/YUM so I'm not sure there is value in making everything configurable in it.
I can see a potential for things like check intervals.

@bbriggs what usecase do you have in mind? Depending on this I see (at least) four options

• Using puppetlabs-inifile and use a hash to add configuration parameters (additional dependency)
• Update the template to support more/all parameters (see subscription-manager config --help)
• Use subscription-manager config as a provider instead of the static rhsm.conf (may be overkill though)
• Use a hash for each section (rhsm, server, ...)

You know, I opened this over a year and a half ago so I don't really remember exactly anymore. I do remember having to fight with RHSM and add an extra tweak to the file with an additional manifest to make it work like I needed it, but that feels like it was in another life now ;)

I just compared an RHSM and an Satellite 6 registered host. The main differences I see there are

[rhsm]
baseurl = https://SATELLITESERVER/pulp/repos

full_refresh_on_yum = 1
repo_ca_cert = %(ca_cert_dir)skatello-server-ca.pem

[server]
hostname = SATELLITESERVER
prefix = /rhsm

Most of it is set by katello-ca-consumer-latest.noarch.rpm. This RPM contains a script with the Katallo certificates, parameters for rhsm.conf and the config-filename:

• KATELLO_SERVER (hostname)
• KATELLO_SERVER_CA_CERT (file part of repo_ca_cert)
• KATELLO_DEFAULT_CA_CERT (file with certificate put to ca_cert_dir)
• KATELLO_CERT_DIR (ca_cert_dir)
• PORT (port)
• PREFIX (prefix)
• CFG (Config-Filename, /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf)
• CA_TRUST_ANCHORS (anchors folder for update-ca-trust, /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors)
• BASEURL (pulp repositories, different for atomic machines: .../pulp/ostree/web/, default ../pulp/repos)
