Please, keep the issues separated.

When you run rhnreg_ks, that does not have anything to do with
taskomatic, nor jabberd. When you get
up2date_client.up2dateErrors.SSLCertificateVerifyFailedError, it's
really a SSL issue -- either certificate wrong, or date/time out of
sync.

I can imagine taskomatic cannot read that
/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/network/admin/tnsnames.ora file, or it
does not read the file at all -- the tnsnames.ora for use with Instant
Client should really be in /etc.

It does.
