Hi Jeremy, Here is repository configuration page:
repository label: repository URL: SSL CA Certificate: SSL Client Certificate: SSL Client Key: Filters: I suppose we put "https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/6/6Server/x86_64/os"; in repository URL for Redhat Linux 6 (X86_64)? what should be used for those certificates?

Just take a peek at the repo configuration options in the webinterface and notice that you can add SSL certs, which is what RHN uses nowadays. You can get the certs via the RHEL customer portal. More details you won't find I'm afraid. It's a nice project to get it working but I can assure you it works and once you get it up and running you'll be happy to be rid of any extra scripts/daemons/... (maybe Paul Robert Marino gave extra info in the past, just try searching the mailing list archives as he keeps repeating to everyone asking this question ;)) As Waldirio also mentioned, technically as long as your spacewalk host has an RHEL subscription and all your RHEL spacewalk clients do too, you should be OK license-wise.

That seems like a very convoluted process. Too bad we can't log into the repo's the way suse does. When I get around to it, I'll see if I can figure out a better way.

If you know how to configure multiples channel in the same OS please share us!

About SW support RHEL, in theory is not supported (so this is a RHN Satellite feature), although technically you can add. About be in compliance, since you share rpm packages to your rhel environment, but to all RHEL's that you have subscription, no problem. What you CANNOT do is, you have 1 rhel subscription, use this account to download rpm files and have 100 rhels registered in your SW receiving packages and updates. Ps.: I checked this with redhat a long time ago, would be grateful if our Red Hatters friends tell us something about it. Downloading rpm from redhat, the process is the same, you can configure a local repo and sync them or if you download a rpm package, you can send to channel via rhnpush. Let me know if you have additional doubts.

I understand your explanation. The reason why I'm looking at Spacewalk is because I don't think that I can afford Satellite. I'll look into the cost and see if it fits the budget or not. Your final comment said that RHEL repo can also be add to Spacewalk, but the documentation say's that SW cannot be used with RHEL repo. Can you please point me to the older posts that show how to add the RHEL repo?

There are details about unlimited guests, but we will not talk about it now. When you install SW, you have a certificate to 20k servers, according bellow: ### <rhn-cert version="0.1"> <rhn-cert-field name="product">SPACEWALK-001</rhn-cert-field> <rhn-cert-field name="owner">Spacewalk Default Organization</rhn-cert-field> <rhn-cert-field name="issued">2007-07-13 00:00:00</rhn-cert-field> <rhn-cert-field name="expires">2018-07-13 00:00:00</rhn-cert-field> <rhn-cert-field name="slots">20000</rhn-cert-field> <rhn-cert-field name="monitoring-slots">20000</rhn-cert-field> <rhn-cert-field name="provisioning-slots">20000</rhn-cert-field> <rhn-cert-field name="virtualization_host">20000</rhn-cert-field> <rhn-cert-field name="virtualization_host_platform">20000</rhn-cert-field> <rhn-cert-field name="satellite-version">spacewalk</rhn-cert-field> <rhn-cert-field name="generation">2</rhn-cert-field> <rhn-cert-signature> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iEYEABECAAYFAlNg/40ACgkQnnKdrwaUeTIXqwCgmRiTmzFuO7x3bitYPWcJFsZe UPgAn0kTzWo7xUGDpedM0No9nEnWa84P =FTXc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- </rhn-cert-signature> ### So, to conclude, if you have the opportunity to use RHN Satellite, you can do this, and add another OS's as repo. Pay attention, each server that you add in RHN Satellite, will user a Smart Management addon. If not, don't worry, you can add rhel repo, according various older posts.

The difference is, using RHN Satellite you will use the redhat support, update, erratas, etc. Check with your redhat sales person about it., you can get RHN Satellite Starter Pack (up to 50 subscriptions), the price is cool! ;-) B'Regards ______________ Atenciosamente Waldirio msn: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Skype: waldirio Site: www.waldirio.com.br<http://www.waldirio.com.br/> Blog: blog.waldirio.com.br<http://blog.waldirio.com.br/> LinkedIn: http://br.linkedin.com/pub/waldirio-pinheiro/22/b21/646 PGP: www.waldirio.com.br/public.html<http://www.waldirio.com.br/public.html> On Tue, Dec 2, 2014 at 6:48 PM, YANG LI <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: we have different OS such as SLE, RHEL and OL. we would like to manage all our OS patching in one place if possible. is it possible to use spacewalk to get redhat channel?
