I think you're suggesting a code fix (e.g. expose some variable in site.pp that allows users to specify whether they need to use http or https and/or the port numbers to connect on) vs a documentation fix (e.g. update the documentation to call out that you must enable http or redirects)?

So the way it exists today, is cobbler creates the underlying fence command to talk to the ucsm, via http only.

I initially thought we would have to add a new variable in site.pp to identify if the ucsm is setup to use http or https.
But in all the ucsm deployments I have seen https is always enabled, http may or may not be enabled. So I just changed the default fence command that cobbler creates to talk to the ucsm, via https.
The additional "-z" in the fence command is for sending the request via https.

I think we have a documentation issue either way, actually. If we only support one or the other with our default cobbler config today, we should document that somewhere. After all, UCSM does allow you to enable or disable both http and https.
