Did some further troubleshooting, and it appears to be an authentication issue. 
 I even had the guy who set the server up log in with his admin account (the 
one he used during setup) and according to the /var/log/tomcat5/catalina.out 
file, we are having authentication issues with it:

We have tried with three different accounts that have full admin access to this 
system, all resulting in the same errors.

I don't really know much about Tomcat, so where else could I look to try and 
solve this?

Thanks.

Subject: [Spacewalk-list] trouble with kickstart profiles

Hello all,

We have a Satellite (ver 5.4.1) server running on RHEL 5.9.  I was attempting 
to create a Kickstart profile, when I ran into an issue.

I was able to enter in the information, but when I clicked on continue, I got 
the following:

The server experienced a problem which prevented your request from being filled 
out. It may not be possible to execute this action at this time.

I googled this and ran across something similar at 
http://osdir.com/ml/spacewalk-list/2011-11/msg00034.html, however SELinux is in 
Permissive mode on this server (I inherited this system).

I thought I would check the permissions on the files in 
/var/lib/rhn/kickstarts/wizard/ and everything is in 644 mode, and owned (both 
user and group) by either root or tomcat.  The directory permission is set to 
775, so that seems fine as well.

Any thoughts on where I can go to troubleshoot further?

Thanks.

-Kenny
