These two configuration options are not used anywhere in our code; when
osa-dispatcher starts for the very first time, it creates its identity and
password for jabber network and stores it in the database
(rhnPushDispatcher table).

These clients requiring to modify osa_ssl_cert, do they have sslCACert
directive in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date configured correctly?

Not quite sure what happened here, though if rhnPushDispatcher table
is showing what you're describing above, you should be good.
