"Your connection is not secure" is relative. Because your cert is not signed by 
a recognized CA, DNS cache poisoning could  be used to redirect your connection 
to a different host performing a MITM attack, and therefore not completely 
secure. However, the connection is still encrypted, and therefore less subject 
to a whole host of simpler attacks which can be used against http.

I would suggest giving Emgee King's option #2 another shot. If your 
RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT file is really corrupted then your clients would have 
problems connecting to your server. So you may have had a transfer issue, or 
you may be using the wrong cert import approach (you will need to import it as 
a CA, authorized to authenticate web servers)
