[rhn-users] Provide a security certificate.

[Pennington, John]

Sorry wasn't thinking, When I run

 

#rpm -V rhn-client-tools

 

I get this:

 

SM5....T c /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date

.......T   /usr/share/rhn/RHNS-CA-CERT

 

When I am running rhn_register, I have specified
/usr/share/rhn/RHNS-CA-CERT as the certificate when prompted for one. 

 

I then get an error saying that the certificate I have provided is not
compatible with the red-hat network.

You are looking for the rhn-client-tools package, not rhn-quiet-tools.

This package includes the certificate you need to communicate with RHN
and it is stored in /usr/share/rhn/RHNS-CA-CERT (this is the certificate
that should be pointed to in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date as I mentioned
before).

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,

- Paul

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:

	That didn't clue me into to anything but I am new to red-hat, so

	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.
