[Spacewalk-list] OSAD clients offline as of unknown

[Parrucci, Brian Anthony. (GSFC-590.0)[ASRC MANAGEMENT SERVICES INC]]

I can remove the username and password from rhn.conf now but initially it was never added to the database until I added it to rhn.conf and restarted spacewalk.

Yes the offline clients have sslCACert directive in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date configured to /usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT but not in osad.conf.

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.
