Figure 4-11. SSL Certificate
17. The SSL Certificate page collects information necessary to create the Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) certificate used by the Satellite and its client machines. In addition, you may manage
your SSL infrastructure using the RHN SSL Maintenance Tool. Refer to the SSL Certificates
chapter of the RHN Client Configuration Guide for instructions.
Create an SSL Certificate Authority (CA) password and complete the rest of the fields with your
and your organization's information. As always, ensure this information exists on the backups
of login information described in Chapter 2 Requirements. The CA Cert Common Name field
may already be populated with the name of the host machine. This may need to be altered if
you're using multiple RHN Servers in tandem.
Use the Expiration fields at the bottom to establish usage limits for the Certificate Authority and
the certificate. The public certificate will be placed in the directory on
/var/www/html/pub/
the Satellite where it can be downloaded from and installed on all client systems. Once finished,
click Generate Cert. The Bootstrap Script page appears next.
