Red Hat Product Errata RHEA-2012:1205 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE RHUI 2.1 Enhancement Update 2012-08-24 15:52:31 UTC

Description Carsten Clasohm 2012-02-17 19:20:08 UTC
On http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Update_Infrastructure/2.0/html/Installation_Guide/chap-Installation_Guide-Client_Entitlements.html, in step 7 of "Procedure 7.2. Create a Client Configuration RPM", the instructions tell us to use /etc/pki/rhui/entitlement-ca.crt as the CA certificate with which clients are going to verify the CDS server certificate.

This is the wrong file - it contains the CA which is used to sign the client entitlement certificates.

The correct file is the CA certificate from Procedure 3.1 on http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Update_Infrastructure/2.0/html/Installation_Guide/chap-Installation_Guide-RHUI_Installer.html#sect-Installation_Guide-RHUI_Installer-Setting_up_SSL

Comment 1 Julie 2012-05-29 06:56:34 UTC
More info needed: Need the full path location of the required CA in procedure 3.1

Comment 2 James Slagle 2012-06-12 12:55:02 UTC
We've actually decided to remove this prompt from the client configuration rpm creation.  We're now reading this path from the config file at /etc/rhui/rhui-tools.conf, rhua.ssl_ca_cert setting.

We need to update the docs to remove this prompt from the sample screen capture.  If you want, you can add a note to the docs about this change.

Comment 4 James Slagle 2012-06-13 14:30:41 UTC
The path is /etc/pki/rhua/rhua-ssl-ca-cert.crt, but we're removing this prompt from procedure 7.2

Comment 7 Martin Kočí 2012-07-26 11:43:39 UTC
This prompt is removed from the documentation. See the step 7. which is in 2.1 like step 8. in 2.0.
http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Update_Infrastructure/2.1/html/Administration_Guide/chap-Administration_Guide-Client_Entitlements.html
Note: the procedure is in 2.1 version 4.2 instead of 7.2 in old version 2.0.
Moving bug to VERIFIED
