Never mind, I found the problem. I ran a diff on the new config vs a working up2date config file and found a typo I managed to introduce. bob -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ramsey, Robert L Sent: Monday, June 17, 2013 4:58 PM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list (redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx) Subject: registering with self signed certificate? Hi, I'm trying to register my RHEL 6 box on the U's satellite server, but not having any luck. I've got my activation key from 2008 and I followed the instructions at https://rhnsat.uiowa.edu/rhn/help/client-config/en-US/sect-Client_Configuration_Guide-Configuring_the_Client_Applications-Registering_with_Activation_Keys.jsp. rpm -Uvh http://rhnsat.uiowa.edu/pub/rhn-org-trusted-ssl-cert-1.0-1.noarch.rpm rhnreg_ks --activationkey XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX --serverUrl https://rhnsat.uiowa.edu/XMLRPC The error I get is: An error has occurred: The SSL certificate failed verification. See /var/log/up2date for more information The log file says: [Mon Jun 17 16:47:35 2013] up2date Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/rhnreg_ks", line 219, in <module> cli.run() File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rhncli.py", line 84, in run sys.exit(self.main() or 0) File "/usr/sbin/rhnreg_ks", line 89, in main rhnreg.getCaps() File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rhnreg.py", line 249, in getCaps s.capabilities.validate() File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rhnserver.py", line 160, in __get_capabilities Is it because I have a self-signed certificate that I'm getting the SSL error? I tried pointing the gui to the cert I generated using the temporary name for the box and to just the localhost cert. Both failed. I don't have an "official" cert for this box yet because it is a replacement for an existing box and its name will change. Any ideas?
