<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">For Red Hat Satellite you need to know the following things:<br>
<br>
On the local server (not satellite)<br>
<br>
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date -> You main client config for red hat satellite<br>
<br>
serverURL[comment]=Remote server URL<br>
serverURL=<a href="https://rhn.redhat.com/XMLRPC">https://rhn.redhat.com/XMLRPC</a> -> If you just want to register to
<a href="http://rhn.redhat.com">rhn.redhat.com</a> && set the CERT accordingly<br>
serverURL=<a href="https://disconnectedsatellite.your.domain/XMLRPC">https://disconnectedsatellite.your.domain/XMLRPC</a> -> If you want to register to your own hosted Red Hat Satellite serverURL<br>
<br>
<br>
sslCACert[comment]=The CA cert used to verify the ssl server<br>
sslCACert=/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT -> This cert comes from your local satellite server when you generate its ssl key. You have to scp it from your local satellite server over to this server<br>
sslCACert=/usr/share/rhn/RHNS-CA-CERT -> This cert is the one that is on <a href="http://rhn.redhat.com">
rhn.redhat.com</a><br>
<br>
<br>
So, when you run rhn_register, it'll go out to the satellite listed in serverURL above then, check the sslCACert to make sure its the SSL cert for that Satellite.<br>
<br>
<br>
When you configure activation keys to autosubscripe server to a particular custom channel, you use the syntax:<br>
rhnreg_ks --activationkey=1-xxx --force<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Also, fyi I scripted the entire registration process including creation of my ssl cert for my local satellite:<br>
<br>
<br>
(I simplified it to the below for the this thread)<br>
