[Spacewalk-list] Registration to the new server via rhnreg_ks returns an SSL error

Thu Feb 28 10:10:57 UTC 2019

Obviously, that will work but you won’t be using the secure layer or addressing the underlying problem!

If you’re getting the same problem with a new client system I can see how you may think it’s a server related issue. However, the Spacewalk certificate is generated during installation so it would be un-usual, I would have thought?

Did you add the certificate to the database (certutil -d sql:/etc/pki/nssdb -An RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT -t C,, -ai /usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT), too, as you only mention getting the rpm (rpm -Uvh http://spacewalk-server/pub/rhn-org-trusted-ssl-cert-1.0-1.noarch.rpm)?

I think this may not the problem of the client, when I try to add new client server it also has the error: The SSL certificate failed verification.
I find this help, change the --serverUrl=https://spacewalk-server/XMLRPC to
--serverUrl=http://spacewalk-server/XMLRPC.  The system can be registerd,
 The reason maybe:

  *   System did not have the correct SSL certificate.(I check, server and client have the same sslCACert)
  *   SSL certificate was corrupted.(how to explain this?)

Hi

It’s a little more involved than that! I produced these notes, for myself, when un-registering a system from a Dev Spacewalk Server and registering it with a Test Spacewalk Server. It’s effectively the same thing that you need to do though.

Spacewalk does not provide an option to un-register a client system (similar to registering - “rhnreg_ks”) - the only option is to remove the client system’s profile from the Spacewalk server.

To remove a client’s profile from the Spacewalk server perform these steps:

  1.  Log in to the Spacewalk Console.
  2.  Click on the Systems tab in the top navigation bar and then click on the name of the system which you want to remove from the Systems List.
  3.  Click the Delete System link in the top-right corner of the page.
  4.  Confirm system profile deletion by clicking the Delete Profile button.
  5.  Now go to the client system and execute below command to remove the associated System ID file:

                # rm /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid

In addition, remove Spacewalk certificate for Development and add certificate for Test. Then register client system with Test Spacewalk server:

# certutil -d sql:/etc/pki/nssdb -Dn RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT -t C,, -ai /usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT
# rpm -ev rhn-org-trusted-ssl-cert-1.0-1.noarch
# rpm -Uvh https://<Test<https://%3cTest> Server>/pub/rhn-org-trusted-ssl-cert-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
# certutil -d sql:/etc/pki/nssdb -An RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT -t C,, -ai /usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT
# rhnreg_ks --serverUrl=https://<Test Server>/XMLRPC --sslCACert=/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT --activationkey=[ACTIVATION KEY]

Note, if you’re using OSAD, the service may have stopped during this process and therefore, will need to be re-started. I’ve also found that, even if it’s still running, I’ve had to restart it before actions were automatically picked up again:

                    # systemctl start osad OR service osad start

Hope this is of help?

Regards
Phil

I re-installed the spacewalk server, and the client can not register to the new installed server.
