Hello,
steps I would use are here:

OK, then just please follow instructions above - installer will
configure default cert itself.

Once you have Spacewalk running, you will need RHEL channels
there with updates and client registered. I do not want to help
with first part (without workarounds, you can not achieve this
as Red Hat provides its channels only to Satellite customers).

For second part check:
  https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/RegisteringClients

Regards,
Jan
