Thank you for the information. However, I am confused by a few things.
The error that I am seeing is on the spacewalk server itself, not on the clients. isn't /etc/sysconfig/rhn/osad-auth.conf only on the clients? OSAD is failing to start on the server with the invalid password error. Do I need to remove and recreate the osad-auth.conf file on all of the clients? Thank you.

I've had similar issues with osad, and so created a simple Ansible playbook to delete osad-auth.conf against all of my nodes. If you're running Ansible, here it is: --- - hosts: all gather_facts: false become: yes tasks: - name: stop osad command: /sbin/service osad stop - name: remove osad auth file command: /bin/rm -f /etc/sysconfig/rhn/osad-auth.conf - name: start osad command: /sbin/service osad start Dimitri -----Original Message----- From: spacewalk-list-boun...@redhat.com [mailto:spacewalk-list-boun...@redhat.com] On Behalf Of Robert Paschedag Sent: Wednesday, August 03, 2016 11:14 AM To: Daryl Rose <darylr...@outlook.com> Cc: spacewalk-list@redhat.com Subject: Re: [Spacewalk-list] osad/jabber - Invalid password errors You should have configuration files for osad in /etc/sysconfig/rhn. An osad.conf and osad-auth.conf. I think, if you remove the osad-auth.conf file and restart osad, it should re-register. I think!
