Today, let us see the root cause and resolution provided by our Support Techs.

• Currently Red Hat products (Customer Portal, Red Hat Satellite, RHUI, etc) does not support repo gpgcheck option yet.
• yum was trying to download repomd.xml.asc and repo_gpgcheck was set as 1.
• As yum was unable to locate repomd.xml.asc on the server due to GPG armor disabled, it was failing.
• On RHEL 7.4, the stig-rhel7-disa profile will add “repo_gpgcheck=1” to /etc/yum.conf.

1. As GPG armor is not enabled on server side, so ensure repo_gpgcheck is set to 0 in yum.conf file for RHEL clients.

NOTE : repo_gpgcheck either 1 or 0 tells yum whether or not it should perform a GPG signature check on the repodata.

When this is set in the [main] section, it sets the default for all repositories. The default is 0.

2. Then, run yum update to confirm.

Alternately you can create your own local repository with a custom repo_gpgkey based on the How to create a repo gpgkey for a local repository article.
