Hi Bernd, I have added our SLES 11 SP3 channels in Spacewalk and it is working fine. I was curious to know what GPG keys you use. For example in CentOS they are store in /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/. You are able to get the fingerprint with the rpm-gpg command.
How is this done for SLES?

It depends what channels you are subscribed to.. One of my customers is using SLES too.. We made one initial SLES12 Installation... registered this particular in scc with yast, activated al repos int the Installation. After the initial Installation SCC generates URL's You have to take thes URL's and put them in into repos you. We did the following steps.
