[Spacewalk-list] Can rhn-org-trusted-ssl-cert be renamed?

[Mark Prangnell]

Thanks Avi,

RPMs not being created properly is and causing issues down the line is good enough reason not to do it! :)

Main reason behind the thinking of changing it so it would be clear that is using our particular ssl cert information as opposed to something which could be missed in the event of an update or a platform rebuild.

Thanks for the information.

Cheers

To be honest, I've never considered changing it server-side so I can't answer this with any degree of certainty. However, you're correct in your assessment, but note that the RPMs will not be created correctly because they are hard-coded to look for RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT. This may cause problems down the track if you want to PXE boot systems and have them auto-register to Spacewalk.

Also, why exactly do you want to change the name of this file anyway? :) I suspect that while it could be made to work, you're just setting yourself up for future technical debt on every upgrade of every system.

Cheers,
Avi
