Configuring Client Systems - Red Hat NETWORK SATELLITE 5.2 - CLIENT Configuration Manual

The CA SSL public certificate in that directory can be downloaded to a client system using wget or
curl. For example:
curl -O http://proxy-or-sat.example.com/pub/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT
wget http://proxy-or-sat.example.com/pub/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT
Alternatively, if the CA SSL public certificate RPM resides in the /pub directory, it can be installed on a
client system directly:
rpm -Uvh \ http://proxy-or-sat.example.com/pub/rhn-org-trusted-ssl-
cert-VER-REL.noarch.rpm
Confirm the actual name of the certificate or RPM before running these commands.

3.4. Configuring Client Systems

Once the RPM or raw certificate has been deployed to a client system, the administrator of that
system must then alter the configuration files of the Red Hat Update Agent and the Red Hat Network
Registration Client (if necessary) to use the new CA SSL public certificate file and connect to the
appropriate RHN Proxy Server or RHN Satellite Server. The generally accepted location for that CA
SSL public certificate is in the /usr/share/rhn directory.
The RHN Proxy Server and RHN Satellite Server both have RHN Bootstrap installed by default,
which can greatly reduce these repetitive steps and simplify the process of registering and configuring
client systems. Please refer
Chapter 5, Using RHN Bootstrap
Configuring Client Systems
for details.
