Comment 1 James Edwards 2012-04-20 13:46:33 UTC

sorry I submitted to quickly..

I noticed upon adding the osad package 
there was a an extra "s" killing the configmanagment and osad communication with the server

see:
proto = https


see:

sever_url = %(proto)s://


if not manually edited 
this will be read as httpss://

once edited communication works fine. 

Either drop the "s" from https in the protocol entry 
or drop it lower in the server_url = entry..

Comment 2 Milan Zázrivec 2012-04-20 18:33:53 UTC

I'm sure the config file in its default form, i.e. with the directive

    server_url = %(proto)s://%(server_name)s%(server_handler)s

is all right.

The notation

    %(proto)s

doesn't mean that the proto directive will be expanded and the letter 's'
will be added afterwards. It means that the proto directive will be expanded
*as a string* period. No 's' added.

But to be actually able to make use of the server_url directive in osad.conf,
you need to manually add / define the server_name directive, otherwise
server_url won't be fully expanded and in the end will default to the server
you had specified in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date.

I'm closing this with notabug, since there's nothing to fix here.
