Hi Merphis
If you're referring to the SSL certificate created when running

"/etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt" and the expiration date is the line

Hi Merphis
You could use "which" to confirm its location but sbin should be in your PATH:

[root@ ~]#
It may not have found it because you copy/paste with the capital "S" perhaps?!
Initially, you could use "spacewalk-service status" to
