Chapter 5.
Entitlements
The RHN Satellite Server, like RHN itself, provides all services to customers through the
setting of entitlements. For RHN, entitlements are purchased by customers as needed; how-
ever, for RHN Satellite Server, entitlements are contractually agreed-upon beforehand, and
they are set at installation time. All
public
channels are automatically available; the private
channels that should also be made available through the Satellite are determined by the
RHN Entitlement Certificate
.
The RHN Entitlement Certificate, which contains the precise set of entitlements attributed
to your organization, is provided by your Red Hat representative. Red Hat reserves the right
to compare the contents of that RHN Entitlement Certificate with the database’s entitlement
settings at any time to ensure compliance with the terms of the customer’s contract with
Red Hat.
The steps referenced in this section are typically carried out by the
RHN Satellite Server
Installation Program
itself and do not need to be repeated during initial installation. In-
stead, they are listed here for use by customers who have received a new RHN Entitlement
Certificate, such as one reflecting an increase in the number of entitlements.
5.1. Receiving the Certificate
The RHN Entitlement Certificate is an XML document that looks something like this:
