It seems that the only way I could get RHEL 6 to register is adding the following to the kickstart's %post stanza:

rhnreg_ks --serverUrl=https://xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/XMLRPC --sslCACert=/usr/share/rhn/RHNS-CA-CERT --activationkey=<activation key>

However, this uses up a "Management" entitlement. How can I accomplish this without using up our valuable "Management" entitlement?

Side note: Anyone know of canonical documentation with regards to what these entitlements actually entitle you for?)

What are the differences between Update, Management, Provisioning, and Monitoring Entitlements in RHN? https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11277

Looks like you can specific an activation key only for update subscriptions

How do I create an RHN activation key for automated RHN registration of my Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems? https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-2475

(See the Resolution Step #5 - "Set Add-On Entitlements to "Provisioning" or "Management" depending on the needs of this system")
