[rhn-users] Red Hat Network Satellite 4.2.0 Notice

[Gregg Phillips]

Given the announcement below, we would like to upgrade our RHN Proxy
server from 4.0 to 4.2. What is the process to do this? Does it require
a complete reinstall or is it as simple as modifying the channel
subscription and running up2date on the proxy server? We are also
running the proxy server over SSL. Will this upgrade require us to
generate new certs? Our proxy server is running on RHEL AS 4.

TIA,

Gregg Phillips
