Red Hat NETWORK SATELLITE 5.1.0 - CHANNEL MANAGEMENT, Reference Manual

Page: 211 / 300

# MANPATH=$MANPATH:/opt/redhat/rhn/solaris/man
# export MANPATH
Alternatively, you can also access the man pages from the command line, with the following
command:
# man -M /opt/redhat/rhn/solaris/man <man page>
Finally, add the Red Hat Libraries to your PATH as you did with
libgcc
,
openssl
and
zlib
.
crle -c /var/ld/ld.config -l <current library
paths>:/opt/redhat/rhn/solaris/lib
3.2. Deploying Client SSL Certificates
To ensure secure data transfer, Red Hat strongly recommends the use of SSL. The RHN
Satellite Server eases implementation of SSL by generating the necessary certificates during its
installation. The server-side certificate is automatically installed on the Satellite itself, while the
client certificate is placed in the
/pub/
directory of the Satellite's Web server.
To install the certificate, follow these steps for each client:
1. Download the SSL certificate from the
/var/www/html/pub/
directory of the RHN Satellite
Server onto the client system. The certificate will be named something similar to
RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT
. It is accessible via the web at the following URL:
https://your-satellite.example.com/pub/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT
.
2. Move the client SSL certificate to the RHN-specific directory for your UNIX variant. For
Solaris, this can be accomplished with a command similar to:
mv /path/to/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT /opt/redhat/rhn/solaris/usr/share/rhn/
When finished, the new client certificate will be installed in the appropriate directory for your
UNIX system. If you have a large number of systems to prepare for RHN management, you may
script this entire process.
Now you must reconfigure the RHN client applications to refer to the newly installed SSL
certificate. Refer to Section 3.3, “Configuring the clients” for instructions.
