Effortless Management: A Guide to Registering and Unregistering Linux Machines with Red Hat Subscription Manager using CLI with Key benefits



To initiate the registration process for your Linux machine with Red Hat Subscription Manager, the first step is to log in to the official Red Hat site, where licenses are managed. Access the site at https://access.redhat.com and provide your credentials using GUI (Browser)

UserName: ee.ibraraziz@gmail.com
Password: **************

Follow these steps to register your system using CLI and make sure in restricted environment following address https://access.redhat.com/* is whitelist so that machine can communicate to the redhat offical site:

1. Register the system using the following command:

   >>subscription-manager register
   You will be prompted to enter your Red Hat account credentials.
    UserName: ee.ibraraziz@gmail.com
    Password: **************

After successfully logging in, 
 Additionally, you may need to provide the Pool ID associated with your subscription. Follow the on-screen instructions.

2. Refresh the subscription manager to ensure the system has the latest information about available subscriptions:
   `
     >>subscription-manager refresh
   
3. Attach a subscription using the Pool ID associated with your subscription: Better to get the pool ID under subscription section by GUI 

   subscription-manager attach --pool=****329684803eb301849ee5b1***

   Replace `****329684803eb301849ee5b1***` with your actual Pool ID.

To unregister your system, follow these steps:

1. Remove all subscriptions:

     >>subscription-manager remove --all
  
2. Clean local registration data:

     >>subscription-manager clean
  
3. Unregister the system:
 
     >>subscription-manager unregister
  
These steps help disassociate the local system from the Red Hat subscription service.
