Proxy Registration

Proxy systems are registered as Salt clients using a bootstrap script.

This procedure describes software channel setup and registering the installed proxy with an activation key as a SUSE Manager client.

Before you can select the correct child channels while creating the activation key, ensure you have properly synchronized the openSUSE Leap channel with all the needed child channels and the SUSE Manager Proxy channel.

Procedure: Registering the Proxy

On the SUSE Manager Server, create openSUSE Leap and the SUSE Manager Proxy channels with the spacewalk-common-channels command. spacewalk-common-channels is part of the spacewalk-utils package:
```
spacewalk-common-channels \
opensuse_leap15_2 \
opensuse_leap15_2-non-oss \
opensuse_leap15_2-non-oss-updates \
opensuse_leap15_2-updates \
opensuse_leap15_2-uyuni-client \
uyuni-proxy-stable-leap-152
```
Instead of uyuni-proxy-stable-leap-152 you can also try uyuni-proxy-devel-leap that is the current development version.

For more information, see client-configuration:clients-opensuse.adoc.
Create an activation key with openSUSE Leap as a base channel and the other channels as child channels. For more information about activation keys, see client-configuration:activation-keys.adoc.
Modify a bootstrap script for the proxy. Add the GPG key to the ORG_GPG_KEY= parameter. For more information, see client-configuration:clients-opensuse.adoc. For more information about bootstrap scripts, see client-configuration:registration-bootstrap.adoc.
Bootstrap the client using the script. For more information, see client-configuration:registration-bootstrap.adoc.
Navigate to Salt Keys and accept the key. When the key is accepted, the new proxy will show in Systems Overview in the Recently Registered Systems section.
Navigate to System Details Software Software Channels, and check that the proxy channel is selected.

For setting up a registered SUSE Manager Proxy, see uyuni-proxy-setup.adoc.
