registering using D-Bus if possible.

|

The module tries to use the D-Bus C(rhsm) service (part of C(subscription-manager))
|
||||
to register, starting from community.general 6.5.0: this is done so credentials
|
||||
(username, password, activation keys) can be passed to C(rhsm) in a secure way.
|
||||
C(subscription-manager) itself gets credentials only as arguments of command line
|
||||
parameters, which is I(not) secure, as they can be easily stolen by checking the
|
||||
process listing on the system. Due to limitations of the D-Bus interface of C(rhsm),
|
||||
the module will I(not) use D-Bus for registation when trying either to register
|
||||
using I(token), or when specifying I(environment), or when the system is old
|
||||
(typically RHEL 6 and older).
|
||||
- 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 I(server_hostname), I(server_insecure), I(rhsm_baseurl),
