Description of problem: when you install satellite in disconnected mode and configure iss master with iss_ca_chain. then execute rhn-satellite-activation, it fails with 'certificate verify failed' error Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. install disconnected satellite 2. configure iss_parent and iss_ca_chain 3. run rhn-satellite-activate Actual results: [root@xxxx ~]# rhn-satellite-activate --rhn-cert sat.cert RHN_PARENT: satellite.rhn.redhat.com Population of the Channel Family permissions failed. Expected results: satellite-sync phase during rhn-satellite-activation should be against hosted, not against iss parent. Additional info:
rhn-satellite-activate should not try to sync packages from iss_parent. Fixed in spacewalk git by commit 45240b4bd4b9fdf6ba5b6ba000c84fdc59ff07b3 656294 - sync channels only from rhn_parent
Backported to SATELLITE-5.4 as commit ac6ec54be3562f4c968cb2c03654e4dec15e90bc 656294 - sync channels only from rhn_parent
