Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
activationkey string			supply an activation key for use with registration
auto_attach boolean		Choices: no yes	Upon successful registration, auto-consume available subscriptions Added in favor of deprecated autosubscribe in 2.5. aliases: autosubscribe
consumer_id string			References an existing consumer ID to resume using a previous registration for this system. If the system's identity certificate is lost or corrupted, this option allows it to resume using its previous identity and subscriptions. The default is to not specify a consumer ID so a new ID is created.
consumer_name string			Name of the system to register, defaults to the hostname
consumer_type string			The type of unit to register, defaults to system
environment string			Register with a specific environment in the destination org. Used with Red Hat Satellite 6.x or Katello
force_register boolean		Choices: no ← yes	Register the system even if it is already registered
org_id string			Organization ID to use in conjunction with activationkey
password string			access.redhat.com or Sat6 password
pool string		Default: "^$"	Specify a subscription pool name to consume. Regular expressions accepted. Use pool_ids instead if possible, as it is much faster. Mutually exclusive with pool_ids.
pool_ids list / elements=raw		Default: []	Specify subscription pool IDs to consume. Prefer over pool when possible as it is much faster. A pool ID may be specified as a string - just the pool ID (ex. 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef), or as a dict with the pool ID as the key, and a quantity as the value (ex. 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef: 2. If the quantity is provided, it is used to consume multiple entitlements from a pool (the pool must support this). Mutually exclusive with pool.
release string			Set a release version
rhsm_baseurl string			Specify CDN baseurl
rhsm_repo_ca_cert string			Specify an alternative location for a CA certificate for CDN
server_hostname string			Specify an alternative Red Hat Subscription Management or Sat6 server
server_insecure string			Enable or disable https server certificate verification when connecting to server_hostname
server_proxy_hostname string			Specify a HTTP proxy hostname
server_proxy_password string			Specify a password for HTTP proxy with basic authentication
server_proxy_port string			Specify a HTTP proxy port
server_proxy_user string			Specify a user for HTTP proxy with basic authentication
state string		Choices: present ← absent	whether to register and subscribe (present), or unregister (absent) a system
syspurpose dictionary		Default: {}	Set syspurpose attributes in file /etc/rhsm/syspurpose/syspurpose.json and synchronize these attributes with RHSM server. Syspurpose attributes help attach the most appropriate subscriptions to the system automatically. When syspurpose.json file already contains some attributes, then new attributes overwrite existing attributes. When some attribute is not listed in the new list of attributes, the existing attribute will be removed from syspurpose.json file. Unknown attributes are ignored.
	addons list / elements=string		Syspurpose attribute addons
	role string		Syspurpose attribute role
	service_level_agreement string		Syspurpose attribute service_level_agreement
	sync boolean	Choices: no ← yes	When this option is true, then syspurpose attributes are synchronized with RHSM server immediately. When this option is false, then syspurpose attributes will be synchronized with RHSM server by rhsmcertd daemon.
	usage string		Syspurpose attribute usage
username string			access.redhat.com or Sat6 username

Notes

Note

• In order to register a system, subscription-manager requires either a username and password, or an activationkey and an Organization ID.

• Since 2.5 values for server_hostname, server_insecure, rhsm_baseurl, server_proxy_hostname, server_proxy_port, server_proxy_user and server_proxy_password are no longer taken from the /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf config file and default to None.
