Description of problem:
I install 4.2.1 satellite as disconnected and then try to activate it from
command line against rhn.redhat.com and got error.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. download rhn-satellite-4.2.1-4-redhat-linux-as-i386-4-embedded-oracle.iso
2. ./install.pl --disconnected
3. set parrent in /etc/rhn/rhn.conf
4. rhn-satellite-activate --rhn-cert /root/cert
  
Actual results:
# rhn-satellite-activate --rhn-cert /root/cert
RHN_PARENT: xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com

ERROR: unhandled exception occurred:

I used Red Hat GSS Lab for 4.2 cert (expire in 2008)
When i activate it from RHN webui it works ok.
