Thanks for the quick answer! My channel now has an activation key. I'm still jammed up a bit, though. I think this *might* be because I'm using a self-signed cert, but I'm not sure 1) if that's true, and 2) what to do even if it is.
Running: rhnreg_ks --serverUrl=https://validhostname/XMLRPC --activationkey=<keyIJustCreated> Returns: An error has occurred: The SSL certificate failed verification. See /var/log/up2date for more information ------------------------------------------ Here's the traceback: File "/usr/sbin/rhnreg_ks", line 267, in ? cli.run() File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rhncli.py", line 65, in run sys.exit(self.main() or 0) File "/usr/sbin/rhnreg_ks", line 88, in main rhnreg.getCaps() File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rhnreg.py", line 324, in getCaps s.capabilities.validate() File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rhnserver.py", line 154, in __get_capabili ties self.registration.welcome_message() File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rhnserver.py", line 64, in __call__ raise up2dateErrors.SSLCertificateVerifyFailedError() up2date_client.up2dateErrors.SSLCertificateVerifyFailedError: The SSL certificat e failed verification. --------------------------------------------- I have followed several hints that I have found wrt that error message, but I haven't gotten anywhere (I apologize for not being more specific, as this was some time ago...) Again, your help will be much appreciated. -Tarek > -----Original Message----- > From: spacewalk-list-boun...@redhat.com [mailto:spacewalk-list- > boun...@redhat.com] On Behalf Of Coe, Colin C.
