[cobbler] cobbler issue with delivering repo definitions

Greetings. I'm running cobbler 2.6.11 . I've come across an issue, and please bear with me, because I don't grok cobbler enough to know if I'm asking the right question. I'm also wordy. :( I have a cobbler server, and it hosts some mirrored repos. Those repos are defined (in /etc/yum.repos.d/) like this: [rhel-6-workstation-supplementary-beta-rpms] metadata_expire = 86400 sslclientcert = /etc/pki/entitlement/redacted.pem baseurl = https://cdn.redhat.com/content/beta/rhel/workstation/6/$releasever/$basea... proxy = https://redacted:80 ui_repoid_vars = releasever basearch sslverify = 1 name = Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Workstation - Supplementary Beta (RPMs) sslclientkey = /etc/pki/entitlement/redacted-key.pem gpgkey = file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-beta,file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release enabled = 0 sslcacert = /etc/rhsm/ca/redhat-uep.pem gpgcheck = 1 And then I have my matching cobbler repo definition Name : rhel-x86_64-workstation-supplementary-6 Apt Components (apt only) : Apt Dist Names (apt only) : Arch : x86_64 Breed : yum Comment : Createrepo Flags : <<inherit>> Environment Variables : {'https_proxy': 'redacted:80', 'http_proxy': 'redacted:80'} Keep Updated : True Mirror : https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/workstation/6/6Workstation/x86_6... Mirror locally : True Owners : ['admin'] Priority : 30 External proxy URL : RPM List : [] Yum Options : {'gpgcheck': '1', 'sslclientkey': '/etc/pki/entitlement/redacted-key.pem', 'sslclientcert': '/etc/pki/entitlement/redacted.pem', 'sslcacert': '/etc/rhsm/ca/redhat-uep.pem'} As I understand it, when cobbler does its "cobbler reposync", it will not use /etc/yum.repos.d/ , it will generate its own repo config from the cobbler repo options, and use that config to sync the repo. So I have to have those Yum Options listed because my cobbler server needs them because redhat requires them. So far so good. However... Those same Yum Options **also** appear in the repo file that is downloaded to my various clients: [rhel-x86_64-workstation-supplementary-6] name=rhel-x86_64-workstation-supplementary-6 baseurl=http://redacted/cobbler/repo_mirror/rhel-x86_64-workstation-supplementary-6 gpgcheck=1 sslclientkey=/etc/pki/entitlement/redacted-key.pem sslclientcert=/etc/pki/entitlement/redacted.pem sslcacert=/etc/rhsm/ca/redhat-uep.pem enabled=1 priority=30 This is my problem. The key files are not installed on the clients. They aren't needed for the clients to get to my local server. I guess I can use sed to remove those options from the repo config after it gets downloaded. I was just hoping there was a better way to say "my server needs different options than my clients".
