[rhn-users] Provide a security certificate.

The command I am running is just rhn_register. When I go through the
menu options it is asking me to specify an ssl certificate to connect to
the red-hat page. The system clock is updated and I just did a default
install of Red Hat changing nothing.
The package rhn-quiet-tools is not installed for some reason. According
to red-hat this could be my problem, although I'm at a loss to
understand, why that wouldn't have been installed initially.
Thanks,
John

I don't remember needing a security certificate to run rhn_register for
any version of RHEL5 (5.1, 5.2, 5.3, not using 5.4 yet), did you do a
default install or customize it?
What is the exact command you are typing and the exact response from the
computer?
Cheers,

Yeah, I got an ssl complaint when I did that too. Thinking of just
trying to re-install the software. Maybe I missed something when I went
through it the first time.
Thanks,

Have you ever tried using rhnreg_ks with the relevant parameters for
minimal registration?

I tried that, and got the following from the output:
[root at lists rhn]# yum update
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Loading "security" plugin
This system is not registered with RHN.
RHN support will be disabled.

That didn't clue me into to anything but I am new to red-hat, so
maybe
I'm missing it.
Thanks

I think if you run:
yum update
from a command prompt it should spit out some errors on what you
need
to
do to complete the setup for RHN.

Hi all,
Just installed red-hat 5.2 and when I run the
rhn_register I'm
getting
asked to provide a security certificate.
I went to the red-hat site and found a script to
generate a
certificate but that didn't seem to work work and I'm
wondering if
anyone has any ideas on what I need to do next?
Thanks a bunch
John
