Description Jiří Mikulka 2011-10-25 14:09:15 UTC

Description of problem:
I tried to register my system manually using `rhnreg_ks` command with specified --serverUrl, --username, --password and --sslCACert with relative path to the certificate. Registration was sucessful, but relative path to the certificate was written into the `/etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date`, which led to failures when picking up events by `rhn_check -vv`.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL Server 6.1, x86_64
rhn-client-tools-1.0.0-73.el6.src.rpm

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. save the certificate in /path/to/ssl/cert
2. change directory to /path/to/ssl
   `cd /path/to/ssl/`
2. register machine to the Satellite using rhnreg_ks
   `rhnreg_ks --serverUrl=https://server.url/XMLRPC --sslCACert=./cert --username <username> --password <password>`
3. system should be registered (check in WebUI)
4. in WebUI plan some event (eg. errata installation)
5. pick up planned event
   `rhn_check -vv`
6. there should be SSL certificate problems while downloading/... packages/erratas from Satellite
  
Actual results:
`rhn_check -vv` fails

Expected results:
`rhn_check -vv` should pick up planned events correctly and install packages/...
