Description of problem: Certificate that is generated during installation process is wrong and client can't use a ssl connection. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.2


How reproducible: Don't know. I've installed spacewalk, configured and tried to download the rpm with certificate. RPM successfully downloaded and installed but when I tried to use rhn tools to register client threw ssl connection it always says that the certificate is wrong.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Wrong certificate. Can't use an ssl connection during client installation.


Expected results:
Possibility of using SSL connection while registering clients.

Additional info: none

Sounds to me like the client is looking at the wrong certfile. 

Try these steps and lemme know if you still see this:

* Generate your SSL cert or use the one during install

* Once the cert is generated, move it to /usr/share/rhn/ on server(so you remember where it is)

* copy the cert over to the client under /usr/share/rhn

* edit /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date on client and include sslCACert=/usr/share/rhn/<your-cert> and serverUrl= <your-spacewalk>

* re-register and retry

This should enable the client to look for the cert in the right place. If you still have issues, please reopen the bug.
