Hi Graeme Thanks for your response. I could see it was a certificate issue; just not so sure how to resolve it.
After installing Spacewalk 2.8 on a RHEL 7 server I encountered the following 3 errors when trying to sync a RHEL 7 repository. I found all the resolutions in the lists so thought I’d group them together, here, for quick reference. Subsequently, I’ve synced the RHEL 7 repository to the Spacewalk server and successfully patched a RHEL 7 client system from it too☺ 1st SYNC ERROR - [Errno 14] curl#60 - "Peer's certificate issuer has been marked as not trusted by the user." Resolution: # cp -p /etc/rhsm/ca/redhat-uep.pem /usr/share/pki/ca-trust-source/anchors/ # update-ca-trust 2nd SYNC ERROR - [Errno 14] HTTPS Error 403 – Forbidden Resolution: Add Red Hat SSL Certificate details to relevant repository configuration page in Spacewalk Web UI. See Robert's instructions, from list, here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2016-January/msg00014.html 3rd SYNC ERROR - https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/7/$releasever/$basearch/os/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTPS Error 404 - Not Found Resolution: Amend Repository URL From https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/7/$releasever/$basearch/os To https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/7/7Server/x86_64/os Note, if I’d followed Robert’s instructions, more diligently, I wouldn’t have seen this last error! I’ve also used a similar configuration for RHEL 6, too, and directly synced a RHEL 6 repository then successfully patched a RHEL 6 client system from it. Hope this is useful to others.

You’ll need to fetch a copy of the cert and install it into your appropriate PKI tools on the Spacewalk server (part of the OS, not Spacewalk) to allow it to trust the certificate. You’re very much not the only person to have raised this on this mailing list – a check of the archives might help you!

I’ve therefore, created a 2nd PoC environment with Spacewalk 2.8 installed on a RHEL 7 server, as you’ve described. I’ve left the RHEL 7 server repo (rhel-7-server-rpms) with its default configuration, as you have below, but when I try and sync I see the following error: [root@<server name> yum.repos.d]# cat /var/log/rhn/reposync/rhel7_x86_64.log 2018/12/11 15:50:42 +01:00 Command: ['/usr/bin/spacewalk-repo-sync', '--channel', 'rhel7_x86_64', '--type', 'yum'] 2018/12/11 15:50:42 +01:00 Sync of channel started. 2018/12/11 15:50:42 +01:00 2018/12/11 15:50:42 +01:00 Processing repository with URL: https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/7/$releasever/$basearch/os 2018/12/11 15:50:43 +01:00 ERROR: failure: repodata/repomd.xml from rhel7_x86_64: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/7/$releasever/$basearch/os/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#60 - "Peer's certificate issuer has been marked as not trusted by the user." 2018/12/11 15:50:43 +01:00 ERROR: failure: repodata/repomd.xml from rhel7_x86_64: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/7/$releasever/$basearch/os/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#60 - "Peer's certificate issuer has been marked as not trusted by the user." 2018/12/11 15:50:43 +01:00 Sync of channel completed in 0:00:00.

It seems I would have been better off by starting with installing Spacewalk on a RHEL 7 server rather than an OL 7 server then? Can you just clarify/confirm what URL’s you’ve configured for the RHEL 6/7 repositories please (obviously, for the RHEL 6 local, just take out any sensitive information)?

I then created a rhel 7 and installed spacewalk. That way i have the entitlements for rhel 6 and 7 covered. From there, I set up the channels and pointed the rhel 7 to the redhat network, and the rhel 6 was pointed to my local repo server. I can now get all the rhel 6 and 7 patches into spacewalk. ________________________________ From: spacewalk-list-boun...@redhat.com<mailto:spacewalk-list-boun...@redhat.com> <spacewalk-list-boun...@redhat.com<mailto:spacewalk-list-boun...@redhat.com>> on behalf of p.cook...@bham.ac.uk<mailto:p.cook...@bham.ac.uk> <p.cook...@bham.ac.uk<mailto:p.cook...@bham.ac.uk>> Sent: Monday, November 26, 2018 7:20 AM To: spacewalk-list@redhat.com<mailto:spacewalk-list@redhat.com> Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk 2.8 - Patching RHEL 6/7 Servers Good afternoon I’m currently looking in to options for introducing a single centralised patching solution for both Oracle Linux 6/7 and RHEL 6/7 systems. There are about 100 Oracle Linux servers and 50 RHEL servers. I’m starting with the Spacewalk product and therefore, built a proof of concept environment by installing Spacewalk 2.8 on an Oracle 7 system. Subsequently, I’ve added channels/repositories for Oracle 6/7 and successfully patched a number of test client systems. However, I can’t seem to obtain clear instructions for how to patch RHEL 6/7 systems using Spacewalk. I believe the functionality of Red Hat Satellite and Spacewalk is basically the same but the ability to connect directly to RHN to synchronize software repositories and errata's has been disabled. I’ve seen some tentative clues that this can be circumvented as well as some reference to using “mrepo” but the latter just seems over complicated really. Alternatively, if Red Hat Satellite is purchased to patch the RHEL 6/7 servers, has anyone had success with using it to patch Oracle 6/7 servers? In addition to patching, I also need to investigate their provisioning capabilities too. Regards Phil
