[Spacewalk-list] Signing the Certificate

[Jason Calafiore]

Hi Jan,

I was just following the Post Installation steps in the wiki and it
mentioned about creating a GPG key and then create a Cert.

For now I just want to create a Self-Signed cert and later after testing I
will issue a real cert.

Just a few questions then:

- How do I create a self-signed cert?

- Do i need to create my GPG keys or do I use the GPG keys from the vendors
(ie CentOS repo's GPG key, etc).

Thank you,

Jason

This script is for creating new or resigning existing Spacewalk entitlement
certificate. But it's not needed for standard instalation, there is default
certificate prepared. Is there any reason you want create your own
certificate?
