server type: Red Hat Subscription Management
subscription management server: 0.9.51.23-1

Unregistering from: Shwetha-candlepin.usersys.redhat.com:8443/candlepin
Unregister failed: [SSL: SSLV3_ALERT_CERTIFICATE_UNKNOWN] sslv3 alert certificate unknown (_ssl.c:579)


Actual results:
Unregistering from: Shwetha-candlepin.usersys.redhat.com:8443/candlepin
Unregister failed: [SSL: SSLV3_ALERT_CERTIFICATE_UNKNOWN] sslv3 alert certificate unknown (_ssl.c:579)

Shwetha, what is the value of insecure (in section server) in rhsm.conf? This behavior is expected if:
1) The candlepin you are unregistering from uses an untrusted cert.
2) The value of insecure is 0.

Comment 3 Shwetha Kallesh 2017-05-19 06:56:01 UTC

Kevin,


[root@dhcp71-112 ~]# cat /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf| grep insecure
insecure = 0

       inscure value in rhsm.conf is 0 but I believe we can throw a better a message than "[SSL: SSLV3_ALERT_CERTIFICATE_UNKNOWN] sslv3 alert certificate unknown (_ssl.c:579)".

Comment 4 Kevin Howell 2017-05-22 14:12:25 UTC

What we'll do is change the language to what we use in other places for SSL issues: _('Unable to verify server\'s identity: %s')
