Description of problem:


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


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
I have:
A valid Red Hat login &  account for this machine
A Red Hat Installation Number

On the machine I need to run
    "rhn_register"

When I do so it takes me to a screen that says:

Please enter your login information for the

Login: ____________________                     â
Password: ____________________                     â

When I enter the (valid) user and password for the Red Hat subscription I want
to assign, I get an error, and it quits.

Comment 1 Clifford Perry 2008-12-23 17:24:44 UTC
    Satellite Certificate has expired

Hi there, 
The above piece of information says exactly what has happened. The Satellite Administrator's certificate has expired and thus service of clients is being denied. 

I suspect this has long since been resolved. If not, please have the Satellite Administrator open a support ticket for this and/or contact Sales, if a renewal is needed. 

Regards,
Clifford.
