Thank you for your response, Robert. You are correct, the setup created an SSL cert with an incorrect FQDN (the CN is incorrect in the cert) which is now out on about 53 clients who now can not update from spacewalk because of that. And yes, i would like to fix the cert and push it to the 53 clients. The certificate was generated and signed on the same server using the same CA, i get the fact that i dont need to redistribute the CA files, but the RHN-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT file is incorrect., i am not sure how that will work correctly.

Right? So you know want to fix this and created a new certificate with the Fqdn fixed. Right? Has this certificate been generated (and signed) by the same CA? Then you don't have to redistribute the CA file and don't need to change the RHN-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT file. The best thing would be, if you created the new certificate with both FQDN names... The wrong old (current) and the new fixed one (as SAN certificate.) All that should be needed then is to put the new certificate in place on the server (within Apache and jabber (xml files) configuration) and set the old FQDN name as ServerAlias within Apache. With this configuration in place, it should work that all clients (old and new) can connect to Spacewalk without getting certificate errors. The new clients should use the new name and you can later fix the name on all old clients within /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date and restart "rhnsd" and/or "osad" (maybe also within osad configuration file). EDIT: Hmm... Even if that all works, I think you would have problems with "osad". I think a temporary configuration of jabber (for 2 server names) would be too complicated. So if you don't mind to lose osad connectivity on the old clients, I would try that. Backup all your configuration files or - when running virtually - create a snapshot before you start.

I had to work around a couple of the steps, since we use a static ssl certificate, and not a Let's Encrypt cert. Hope this helps. https://omg.dje.li/2017/04/using-lets-encrypt-ssl-certificates-with-spacewalk/<https://omg.dje.li/2017/04/using-lets-encrypt-ssl-certificates-with-spacewalk/><https://omg.dje.li/2017/04/using-lets-encrypt-ssl-certificates-with-spacewalk/<https://omg.dje.li/2017/04/using-lets-encrypt-ssl-certificates-with-spacewalk/>> -Dean On Sep 27, 2019, at 11:38 AM, Weiner, Michael <wein...@ccf.org<mailto:wein...@ccf.org>> wrote: I have a need to regenerate and redistribute the SSL certificate for my instance of spacewalk. When i set it up originally, the FQDN was not correct so the cert is now wrong that got distributed to workstations/servers, and i need to correct it now that the FQDN is correct. I have been googling but i cant seem to find anything specific to my query. I would have assumed there was a script (like the initial install script) that can recreate the cert and RPM. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
