We’ve tested this process several times (and do it for every release) so I’m 
concerned this is not working for you.

Correct, because neither we nor them consider the Let’s Encrypt use case, which 
does auto-updating. My blog outlines how to connect Spacewalk to the Let’s 
Encrypt certificates. This is not something that’s necessary with 3rd-party (CA 
signed) certificates. In this case, there is additional work to be done so that 
the regularly-updated Let’s Encrypt certificates are used and Spacewalk always 
points to the latest certificate, as updated by certbot.

All of my setups use CA signed certificates. All our internal instances do too. 
My personal setup uses the Let’s Encrypt configuration documented in my blog, 
while my corporate instance uses a certificate provided by our Managed PKI 
system. Both instances are running jabberd/osa without any issues at all. In 
fact, both setups have also switched the jabberd database to PostgresSQL 
(personal setup) and SQLite (corporate).

I have lots of customers using either internally PKI-signed or externally CA 
signed certificates with their Spacewalk instances and all followed our 
documentation. All are working fine too.

Cheers,
Avi
