Argh, it's partly my fault: I'm the one who requested an upgrade of
the conserver version that ships in xcat-deps:
https://github.com/xcat2/xcat-dep/issues/18

On the other hand, I haven't seen any announce or notification about
the update. Since it breaks existing configurations, it could have
been a good idea.

Anyway, long story short, the xCAT-provided version of conserver had
10yo local patches to support SSL. Those have made their way upstream
since then, but with some different option names. So what you'll need
to do is replace the "sslauthority" directive by
"sslcacertificatefile" in both /etc/conserver.cf and /root/.consolerc

I guess now that the conserver version in xcat-dep is the same as
upstream, it's not really necessary to ship it in xcat-dep, the
dependency could just be made on the upstream version (which is in
EPEL and SLES). Or is there any reason to keep a xCAT-specific
version?
