[Spacewalk-list] Using mrepo with Spacewalk 1.8

[Paul Brunck]

I'm attempting to install Spacewalk 1.8 with mrepo and create a mirror of RHEL 5&6 packages to use for frequently spun up development VMs. There are several guides that indicate I should use mrepo with gensystemid to register individual repositories as systems on RHN and then use the entitlements granted to my rhel systems. However gensystemid fails because /usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT is not present. It's not clear to me where I get this cert, whether it is included with an official rhel install, or if it is pulled in after using rhn_register, or if this the "key" per se that you purchase with the Satellite product that allows you to mirror?  Thank you in advance for any help.
