Avi,

Here are the steps for registering SLES from the Spacewalk documentation: 

https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/RegisteringClients#SUSE

However, the steps are not completely accurate for SLES 11 SP3.  A few changes 
need to be made. 

1. Changes to the spacewalk-tools URL.
zypper ar -f 
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/spacewalk:/2.3/SLE_11_SP3/
 spacewalk-tools

2.  Step two applies to SLES 12, not to SLES 11.  (I learned about that from 
this forum).  These are the modified steps:
a.  wget http://corp-spwalk-prod01.dtn.com/pub/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT -O 
/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT
b.  cp /usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT 
/etc/ssl/certs/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT.pem
c.  c_rehash /etc/ssl/certs/

After running the c_rehash, I get the following:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   28 Sep  9 08:05 dcfb5746.0 -> 
RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT.pem

I'm assuming that this is what I should see.  

These are the same steps that I used in my testing. Is there something wrong 
with the cert?

Thanks

Daryl

I don't think we ever tested this with SLES/OpenSUSE as that's not covered 
under standard Oracle support. I've not even looked into how you register a 
SLES system to Spacewalk, so I can't comment on how that process would need to 
be updated for a 3rd-party certificate.

However, this seems like a verification issue, so I would double-check that 
you're using the correct CA certificate (RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT) and that it 
has the entire CA chain contained. Otherwise, the client would not be able to 
verify the certificate provided by the server.

Can you point me towards the appropriate documentation that outlines the SLES 
registration process to Spacewalk so I can review?

Thanks,
Avi
