Document URL: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-satellite/6.2/paged/installation-guide/chapter-4-installing-capsule-server Section Number and Name: 4.7.5.2 - Create the Capsule Server’s Certificates Archive File Describe the issue: Incorrect instructions documented for creating the certs-tar for a capsule. Section as it exists: C. Run the resulting command on the Satellite Server. The key parameter in this command is --certs-update-server, which indicates that the existing certificates are to be updated. # capsule-certs-generate --capsule-fqdn "capsule.example.com"\ --certs-tar "/root/sat_cert/capsule_certs.tar"\ --server-cert "/root/sat_cert/satellite_cert.pem"\ --server-cert-req "/root/sat_cert/satellite_cert_csr.pem"\ --server-key "/root/sat_cert/satellite_cert_key.pem"\ --server-ca-cert "/root/sat_cert/ca_cert_bundle.pem"\ --certs-update-server Suggestions for improvement: Remove section C, as this is false for creating a certs-tar used for a capsule. '--certs-update-server' is not going to have any effect on a freshly created certs bundle, especially one not related to the Satellite. Remove --certs-update-server from the command. If the command is run with --certs-update-server now and the folder for the hostname of the capsule doesn't exist, the command will fail out with a traceback. If we remove this option, it will perform its job correctly.
