From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90; Q312461) Description of problem: Error Class Code: 9 Error Class Info:Invalid Server Certificate This is the only thing that happens when I try to run this program. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Simply trying to run the program gets the error. 2. 3. Additional info:
That error indicates that the systemid you have in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid is not valid for the server you are talking to. I havent seen this in a long time (not since we still ran a beta rhn server almost 8 months ago....), as register to one server (say, beta.rhns..) and then having up2date talk to another server (say, www.rhns.redhat.com) can cause this. Best approach is to verify that both rhn_register and up2date are configure to talk to the right server (both should be configured to talk to https://www.rhns.redhat.com/XMLRPC ). And then reregister the system.
First make sure that the machine is pointing to the right server, www.rhns.redhat.com. Run up2date --configure --nox and check that noSSLServerURL and serverURL look like the following: serverURL: https://www.rhns.redhat.com/XMLRPC noSSLserverURL: http://www.rhns.redhat.com/XMLRPC If that's OK, you'll need to re-register the box if you haven't already, and then move your entitlement to the new profile. Run rhn_register as root. Click "Yes" if you get the dialog message about the system already being registered. Once the system is registered, log in at http://rhn.redhat.com , click on "Entitlements" on the left, and then move the entitlement from the old system to the new system. Then click on "Update Entitlements" at the bottom. To delete the old profile altogether from the Entitlements page, click on the name of the system in the Entitled systems list. At the bottom of the page, below the details information, is the Delete System Profile button. Clicking that will prompt for confirmation that you really want to delete the profile then remove it from your account.
