Description of problem: If a custom certificates archive (TAR) is created for an external Capsule Server, and the installer used to try and install the custom certificates on an external Capsule Server with a *different* host name, the attempted installation proceeds but fails. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Testing was done with Satellite 6.2.2. How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a custom certificate for the Satellite Server. 2. Create a custom certificate for an external Capsule Server. 3. Create the Capsule Server's certificate's archive (for example, hostname test1-capsule.anzlab.bne.redhat.com). 4. Attempt installation of the external Capsule Server's certificates archive on a host which has a different name (for example, test-capsule.anzlab.com.au). Actual results: Installer fails with several error messages. (Refer to the attached installation log file). Expected results: Installer detects that the hostname contained in the certificate is different to that of the current host and stops before making any change, and outputs a suitable error message. Additional info:
We should be careful to ensure we're checking the subject alternative names, not just the CN. Often times several capsules are installed with the same cert bundle containing a virtual hostname + the the host names of the actual capsules for load balancing purposes.
