2. Open the
up2date
configuration file in a text editor.
3. Find the
serverURL
entry and set its value to the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of your RHN
Satellite Server:
serverURL[comment]=Remote server URL
serverURL=https://your-satellite.example.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-satellite.example.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 9.3.2, “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
Your client systems are now ready for registration with Red Hat Network and management by your
Satellite.
9.4. Registration and Updates
Now that you have installed RHN-specific packages, implemented SSL, and reconfigured your client
systems to connect to the RHN Satellite Server, you are ready to begin registering systems and
obtaining updates.
9.4.1. Registering Systems
This section describes the RHN registration process for UNIX systems. You must use the
rhnreg_ks
command to accomplish this; the use of activation keys for registering your systems is optional. These
keys allow you to predetermine settings within RHN, such as base channels and system groups, and
to apply those automatically to systems during their registration.
Since activation key generation and use is covered extensively in other chapters, this section focuses
on differences when applying them to UNIX variants. Refer to
Section 6.4.6.1, “Managing Activation
Keys”
for full descriptions of this process.
To register UNIX systems with your RHN Satellite Server, accomplish the following tasks in this order:
1. Log into the Satellite's web interface and click the
Systems
tab in the top navigation bar followed by
Activation Keys
in the left navigation bar. Then click the
create new key
link at the top-right corner
of the page.
2. On the following page, select the base channel you created at the end of
Section 9.2, “Satellite
Server Preparation/Configuration”
.
