Troubleshooting Subscription Asset Manager manifests
Trying to determine what is provided by a Subscription Asset Manager manifest

Resolution

A subscription manifest is the collection of files that allow for registration against Subscription Asset Manager and Satellite 6 systems.
In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 and 5.10 (subscription-manager-1.9.11-1.el6 and subscription-manager-1.8.22-1.el5) the subscription-manager package provides additional functionality to the rct tool for reviewing Subscription Asset Manager manifests:

[root@example ~]# rct
Usage: rct MODULE-NAME [MODULE-OPTIONS] [--help]

Primary Modules:

  cat-cert       Print certificate information
  cat-manifest   Print manifest information
  dump-manifest  Dump the contents of a manifest
  stat-cert      Print certificate statistics and sizes

This provides an overview of what's available to systems registered via a Subscription Asset Manager or Satellite 6 system:

[root@example ~]$ rct cat-manifest ~/Downloads/manifest.zip
