Created attachment 1266630 [details] hostfile on the spacewalk server Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. spacewalk-setup 2. Should setup configure apache's default ssl server for you (saves original ssl.conf) [Y]? ** /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf has been backed up to ssl.conf-swsave * Configuring jabberd. * Creating SSL certificates. CA certificate password? Re-enter CA certificate password? Organization? LandG Organization Unit [spacewalk]? spacewalk.lgn.nl snip .. .. snip Installation complete. Visit https://spacewalk to create the Spacewalk administrator account. Actual results: The cn in the ssl certificate is the short name of the host Expected results: CN in the generated certificate should be a fqdn , spacewalk.lgn.nl in this example during the setup the value for cn is never asked. Additional info:
Fixed by setting teh hostname to a FQDN value before spacewalk-setup hostnamectl set-hostname spacewalk.lgn.nl The installer did not complain about the hostname not being FQDN. The Documentation could be improved with for example: Do not continue unless the hostname command returns a FQDN result.
