Description
Summary
Problem
When executed on an RHEL 10.0 system, the redhat_subscription module fails when auto_attach is set to true. The module attempts to execute /usr/sbin/subscription-manager attach --auto, but this command exits with return code 1 and prints the usage text for subscription-manager.
Evaluation
The root cause is fairly obvious. There's no subscription-manager attach option in RHEL 10, which has simplified registration to a single register step. In RHEL 9 and earlier, subscribing could require separate register and attach commands.
Workaround
Setting auto_attach to false allows for correct registration of RHEL 10 systems. Unless the redhat_subscription module is updated to ignore the auto_attach option for RHEL 10+, users will need to avoid setting auto_attach to true when registering RHEL 10 systems.
