why "rpm server"? I'd probably just do http_pub_dir or so

To be honest i went with this as it was used previously https://github.com/theforeman/puppet-foreman_proxy_content/blob/master/manifests/bootstrap_rpm.pp#L38, but you are right httpd_pub_dir is more generalized and readble

Ansible looks good to me. Can you please add a test to https://github.com/theforeman/foremanctl/blob/master/tests/httpd_test.py? |

technically this is also available under /unattended/public/foreman_raw_ca without /pub, but lots of code relies on the old location and it's a good example of usage for now.

Does it make sense to configure Apache to proxy that specific request?

Proxy wouldn't work, as rails doesn't know what /pub is. We'd either need to teach it that route or translate at Apache level. Or just ignore it for now.

The reason I ask is that we also know we need to support /pub/katello-consumer-ca because Anaconda relies on that. It's in RHEL 9 so we can't easily replace that. So long term I think we need to route specific /pub paths to Foreman to render it dynamically. The public templates mechanism in Foreman could be reused for /pub/katello-consumer-ca.
We also deal with it in a follow up.

My thoughts on this:-
I think in /pub we have quite a few items from multiple plugins, so ideally it does not make sense to put these things, which is not completely related to foreman, in foreman/rails routes.

I'd like to see a list of those plugins, because no plugin should count on /pub existing. Katello and RH cloud might, but others shouldn't.

In the description of SAT-40189, it is mentioned
- IoP -> For uploading/fetching cvemap.xml
- Discovery -> Uploading FDI image for PXELess Discovery Workflow
- Bootdisk -> Uploading Bootdisk image for Bootdisk Workflow
- katello-ca-consumer -> global registration uses katello-ca-consumer rpm published on /pub
Few other component tests like Repository, ISS, ACS also use /pub during testing.
After looking at these i thought we can keep the pub directory served by apache only.

- IoP is correct
- Discovery and Bootdisk is not using
/pub(but the way tests in robotello are written for it might abuse `/pub) - global registration does not use /pub, it embedds all certs itself.

i see that the katello-ca-consumer-latest.noarch.rpm still stays in pub, is that not being used now for registration(doc says (Deprecated) Katello CA Consumer method for registeration is deprecated)?

correct. it's still there (for users who have non-default workflows), but unused by the default workflow we offer.

I think if we validating a CA certificate is downloadable which would cover this test already

We deploy the config with Indexes, which produces a nice directory index here and this step validates it. Otherwise you'd get a 403 on the /pub/ itself.

I'd suggest one more test here which checks the pub dir accessibility from http url

tested using foremanctl-1.0.0-0.20251125064410703050.pr316.68.gb6dbef4.el9.noarch.rpm, works as expected.

This PR exposes /pub directory. it is a initial work around and currently only exposes
katello-server-ca.crt.
