Configuring Subscription Manager to Work with Subscription Asset Manager

Subscription Asset Manager performs two backend management functions:

• Allocate subscriptions as a subscription service

• Work as a real-time proxy for the content delivery network

That means that the local Subscription Manager client needs to be configured to use Subscription Asset Manager as its subcription service and content provider, rather than using the default CentOS Network (hosted) configuration.

The subscription service URL is configured in the hostname parameter in the [server] area in the rhsm.conf configuration file. The content delivery network URL is configured in the baseurl parameter in the [rhsm] area. These values can be reset using the config command. For example:

[root@server1 ~]# subscription-manager config --server.hostname=sam.example.com --rhsm.baseurl=sam.example.com

Changing the Subscription Manager configuration with the config command is covered in "Using the config Command".
