Configuring Red Hat Update Appliance SSL Certificates Describe the issue: Below instructions gives an idea how to acquire CA certs from third party or generate your own.

Alternatively you can purchase one from a certificate authority (CA), or generate your own using tools such as openssl or genkey. The CA key and certificate enables you to create SSL keys and certificates for the Red Hat Update Appliance and the CDS, as well as sign the entitlement certificates for the clients to access the CDS instances.
