RMT: SLES 15 SP4 (x86_64)
Client: SLES 15 SP4 (x86_64)
I’ve installed an RMT server here to act as a proxy for other clients, both for registration and as a mirror server.
Unfortunately I already have a problem with registering a client. Neither SUSEConnect nor the ‘rmt-client-setup’ recommended in the manual do what they are supposed to do.
I get the message:
Registering system to register proxy https://susermt.xyzdomain
Announcing system to https://susermt.xyzdomain ...
Your Registration Proxy server doesn't support this function. Please update it and try again.
The status of the client is and remains:
SUSEConnect -s
[{"identifier":"SLES","version":"15.4","arch":"x86_64","status":"Not Registered"},{"identifier":"sle-module-basesystem"," version":"15.4","arch":"x86_64","status":"Not Registered"},{"identifier":"sle-module-server-applications","version":"15.4","arch ":"x86_64","status":"Not Registered"}]
The RMT server itself is well registered:
susermt:~ # SUSEConnect -s
[{"identifier":"sle-module-server-applications","version":"15.4","arch":"x86_64","status":"Registered"},{"identifier":"PackageHub", "version":"15.4","arch":"x86_64","status":"Registered"},{"name":"SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, x86 \u0026 x86-64, 1-2 Sockets with Unlimited Virtual Machines, Standard Subscription, Activation Key","identifier":"SLES","version":"15.4","arch":"x86_64","status":"Registered","regcode":"meowmeowmeow"," starts_at":"2017-01-01 00:00:00 UTC","expires_at":"2023-12-31 00:00:00 UTC","subscription_status":"ACTIVE","type":"full" },{"identifier":"sle-module-basesystem","version":"15.4","arch":"x86_64","status":"Registered"}]
The following packages with an ‘i’ are installed on the RMT server and I have gone through and completed the configuration of the RMT:

Do I need to mirror more than the products here? Aren’t these four enough?:
susermt:~ # rmt-cli products list | grep -i "15 sp4"

Why isn’t the client registering? What can I do? I hope someone has an idea.
