serverURL=https://your__sat.your_domain.com/XMLRPC
4. Ensure the application refers to the RHN Satellite Server even when SSL is turned
off by also setting the
noSSLServerURL
value to the Satellite:
noSSLServerURL[comment]=Remote server URL without SSL
noSSLServerURL=http://your__sat.your_domain.com/XMLRPC
5. With the
up2date
configuration file still open, find the
sslCACert
entry
and set its value to the name and location of the SSL certificate described in
Section 8.3.2
Deploying Client SSL Certificates
, for example:
sslCACert[comment]=The CA cert used to verify the ssl server
sslCACert=/opt/redhat/rhn/solaris/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT
6. Finally, set the shell environment variables on the client to accommodate RHN-
specific paths, commands, and libraries. You will need to set the library search path
to include the
/usr/local/lib/
directory.
To do so, first verify that
/usr/local/lib/
is
not
in the search path by running the
crle
command with no arguments, e.g.
% crle
Configuration file: /var/ld/ld.config
Default Library Path (ELF):
/usr/lib/:/usr/local/lib
If, as in the above example,
/usr/local/lib/
is already in the search path, no
configuration or modification to
bash
is necessary.
However, if
/usr/local/lib/
is
not
indicated as being in the search path, use the
following command to add the directory to the search path:
crle -l
<
current path list
>
:/usr/local/lib
Now configure your shell for command line usage of the RHN client tools. You may
wish to add the following lines to the login script for your shell:
PATH=$PATH:/opt/redhat/rhn/solaris/bin:/opt/redhat/rhn/solaris/usr/bin:\
/opt/redhat/rhn/solaris/usr/sbin
MANPATH=/opt/redhat/rhn/solaris/man
export PATH
export MANPATH
You should
not
need to include a PYTHONPATH variable setting, since the tools
will know where to find their python site packages.
Your client systems are now ready for registration with Red Hat Network and management
by your Satellite.
