Deploying Client Ssl Certificates; Configuring The Clients - Red Hat NETWORK SATELLITE 5.1.0 Reference Manual

# MANPATH=$MANPATH:/opt/redhat/rhn/solaris/man
# export MANPATH
Alternatively, you can also access the man pages from the command line, with the following
command:
# man -M /opt/redhat/rhn/solaris/man <man page>
Finally, add the Red Hat Libraries to your PATH as you did with
crle -c /var/ld/ld.config -l <current library
paths>:/opt/redhat/rhn/solaris/lib

3.2. Deploying Client SSL Certificates

To ensure secure data transfer, Red Hat strongly recommends the use of SSL. The RHN
Satellite Server eases implementation of SSL by generating the necessary certificates during its
installation. The server-side certificate is automatically installed on the Satellite itself, while the
client certificate is placed in the
To install the certificate, follow these steps for each client:
1. Download the SSL certificate from the
Server onto the client system. The certificate will be named something similar to
RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT
https://your-satellite.example.com/pub/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT
2. Move the client SSL certificate to the RHN-specific directory for your UNIX variant. For
Solaris, this can be accomplished with a command similar to:
mv /path/to/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT /opt/redhat/rhn/solaris/usr/share/rhn/
When finished, the new client certificate will be installed in the appropriate directory for your
UNIX system. If you have a large number of systems to prepare for RHN management, you may
script this entire process.
Now you must reconfigure the RHN client applications to refer to the newly installed SSL
certificate. Refer to Section 3.3, "Configuring the clients"
