For the record, this was my own stupidity.

I had updated the certificates, but not imported them into the spacewalk 
interface.

Sorry

Matt

Subject: [Spacewalk-list] repos wrong SSL name ?

While playing around with spacewalk yesterday to try to resolve a DNS issue I 
appear to have broken my SSL certificate for my repos.

I've just built a test centos 5 machine from my spacewalk 1.4 Oracle server, 
great, not problems.

When I run a yum update on the client to test the functionality, I get a large 
trace from Python that basically says the hostname is wrong in the SSL 
certificate.

[M2Crypto.SSL.Checker.WrongHost: Peer certificate commonName does not match 
host, expected spacewalk01.sccis.net, got spacewalk01
[/quote]

to resolve this I used

 rhn-ssl-tool --gen-server --set-hostname="spacewalk01.sccis.net"
which should set the certificate to the correct FQDN I'm now using, it didn't 
work.

A little more research and I believe the Peer certificate is actually the CA, 
so to resolve this I did

rhn-ssl-tool --gen-ca --force --set-common-name="spacewalk01.sccis.net"
which replaced my existing CA with a new one with the correct common name, I 
then re-ran rhn-ssl-tool --gen-ca --force 
--set-common-name="spacewalk01.sccis.net" to get that created against the new 
CA.

all should be well.

Just kickstarted another test machine, tried to update and got the same error, 
still complaining about the common name being spacewalk01 rather than 
spacewalk01.sccis.net

Have I missed something ?

thanks,

Matt
