Have you configured SUSE Manager for RHEL 8 and created the bootstrap repository?

I have added the RHEL and Liberty 8 Base product from the SUSE Manager and found out following things

Product I used

I created a activation key with that and when I tried to add a rhel8 system to SUMA it alert this error saying cannot download that file so I check that directories manually and found out that [https://suma.domain.com/pub/repositories/res/8/](https://suma.domain.com/pub/repositories/res/8/) directory does not exist I tried this with rhel7 and it works fine

So have you run the mgr-create-bootstrap-repo command?

Presumably you’ve seen [Red Hat Client Registration :: SUSE Manager Documentation](https://documentation.suse.com/suma/4.3/en/suse-manager/client-configuration/registration-overview-redhat.html) which addresses registering RHEL clients to your SUSE Manager using either CDN or RHUI method?
