[Spacewalk-list] cannot register CentOS 5 system to my new spacewalk server

[Andy Ingham]

Hello --

I've followed the directions as well as I'm able (twice now!) and continue
to see the following errors.

When I run *this* from a CentOS 5 client system:

	rhnreg_ks --serverUrl=https://10.148.42.210/XMLRPC
--activationkey=<MY_ACTIVATION_KEY_HERE>

The result is:

	An error has occurred:
	up2date_client.up2dateErrors.SSLCertificateVerifyFailedError
	See /var/log/up2date for more information


And within /var/log/up2date:

	[Wed Mar  7 16:03:27 2012] up2date

I should note also that when I start up osad on the client (via "service
osad start"), I consistently get:

	Starting osad: 2012-03-07 16:06:04 jabber_lib.main: Unable to connect to
jabber servers, sleeping 68 seconds


I've been around and around on the various settings on both sw server end
and on the client end.

Can someone offer guidance?


Thanks,
Andy
