GNOME Settings Daemon: Subscription Manager Plugin

Testing:

To add a test acccount on subscription.rhsm.stage.redhat.com, use Ethel: http://account-manager-stage.app.eng.rdu2.redhat.com/#view

Register with a username and password

gdbus call \
 --session \
 --dest org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Subscription \
 --object-path /org/gnome/SettingsDaemon/Subscription \
 --method org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Subscription.Register "{'kind':<'username'>,'hostname':<'subscription.rhsm.stage.redhat.com'>,'username':<'rhughes_test'>,'password':<'barbaz'>}"

To register with a certificate

gdbus call \
 --session \
 --dest org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Subscription \
 --object-path /org/gnome/SettingsDaemon/Subscription \
 --method org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Subscription.Register "{'kind':<'key'>,'hostname':<'subscription.rhsm.stage.redhat.com'>,'organisation':<'foo'>,'activation-key':<'barbaz'>}"

To unregister

gdbus call \
 --session \
 --dest org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Subscription \
 --object-path /org/gnome/SettingsDaemon/Subscription \
 --method org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Subscription.Unregister

Debugging

Get the UNIX socket using Subscription.Register then call something like:

sudo G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all ./plugins/subman/gsd-subman-helper \
 --address="unix:abstract=/var/run/dbus-ulGB1wfnbn,guid=71e6bf329d861ce366df7a1d5d036a5b" \
 --kind="register-with-username" \
 --username="rhughes_test" \
 --password="barbaz" \
 --hostname="subscription.rhsm.stage.redhat.com" \
 --organisation=""

You can all see some basic debugging running rhsmd in the foreground:

sudo /usr/libexec/rhsmd -d -k

Known Limitations
