I'm trying to create a custom spacewalk entitlement certificate.  We're
trying to get rid of the "Spacewalk Public Cert" being set as the
default organization (which shows up in the main GUI all the time) and
change it to our organization name.  From my digging it looks like we
need to create a custom entitlement certificate in order for this to
work.  I've following directions at the following 2 sites to try and get
this working:

https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/CertCreation
http://www.cs.rug.nl/~jurjen/ApprenticesNotes/ch11.html#Installing_Space
walk

The 2nd link has more detail on creating the gpg keys for signing.

My spacewalk install (v.6) did not come with the CertUtils.pm library,
so I had to manually download that from the location below and put it in
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/RHN/

https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/browser/web/modules/rhn/RHN/CertUtils
.pm?rev=c43c7764d22ca8a78fd6f446b0892b6dec5e78a8


Now when I run the gen-oss-sat-cert.pl script I get the following

So, my question is: why don't we ship the gen-oss-sat-cert.pl in some
of our packages, and (looking at
https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/attachment/wiki/CertCreation/gen-oss-sat-cert.pl)
if the RHN::CertUtils is essential, also tship that one?
Unknown, choice we made when we launched spacewalk 01 last year. Poke Shannon to see if he has specific advice here.


Well, since RHN::CertUtils only has that one passphrase_prompt
function in it, we might just as well inline it in
gen-oss-sat-cert.pl.


So, we (Shannon) released this to allow customers to create their own custom certs, if the default one we provide in spacewalk did not meet their needs. As such, for Spacewalk, while the code has not needed maintenance since its release, it sounds like it does now. We should file a bug and look to address this within Spacewalk 07 if we can - for myself it is a lower priority for 07, but I would like to see it tracked for resolution.

But what is the status of gen-oss-sat-cert.pl is the main question.
