Description of problem: When trying to use rhn_register to register an Advanced Server client through a RHN Proxy Server, can not use SSL because rhn_register is too old and no errata is available. Non-SSL connections from the client to the Proxy Server work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Tested with rhn_register-2.7.9-7.x.2 and the rhn-proxy-1.1-62 ISO for AS. Documentation with the rhn-proxy-1.1-62 ISO specifies that I need to have at least rhn_register-2.7.11-? on the clients for this to work (RHN-proxy-IC.pdf guide, page 44), but the errata package doesn't seem to be available for AS2.1. The rhns-ca-cert-1.0-1.noarch.rpm built by my proxy server is installed on the client. Both proxy server and client used AS2.1. How reproducible: Always. :) It looks like the sslCACert directive in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhn_register is not honored by this version of rhn_register. Tethereal output is attached, station3 is the Proxy Server and station4 is the client. Connection through the proxy server does not work with these settings in the client's /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhn_register file: serverURL=https://station3.example.com/XMLRPC sslCACert=/usr/share/rhn/RHNS-CORP-CA-CERT but it does work with: serverURL=http://station3.example.com/XMLRPC
Created attachment 89621 [details] tethereal output
Works with rhn_register-2.8.34-1.2.1AS. Closing bug.
