8.2. Spacewalk Registration Client

Skip this section if you are running Red Hat Linux 8.0 on the client system.

Note Note
 

You must use version 2.7.11 or higher of rhn_register on the client systems so they can recognize new certificates. This RPM should be available in /var/spool/up2date on your proxy system after you run up2date for the proxy.

To configure the Spacewalk Registration Client on the client systems connecting to the RHN Proxy Server, edit the noSSLServerURL and serverURL options in the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhn_register configuration file (as root). Replace the default Spacewalk URL with the URL for the RHN Proxy Server. For example:

noSSLServerURL[comment]=Remote server URL without SSL
noSSLServerURL=http://your_rhn_proxy_server.com/XMLRPC

serverURL[comment]=Remote server URL
serverURL=https://your_rhn_proxy_server.com/XMLRPC

You can also use the command line tool rhn_register --configure to configure these options.

Run the Spacewalk Registration Client (rhn_register) on the client to register the system with RHN. Use your existing RHN username and password.

For further instructions on using the Spacewalk Registration Client, refer to the Spacewalk User Reference Guide available at http://www.redhat.com/docs/.
