5.3. Managing the RHN Certificate with RHN Satellite Activate
For disconnected Satellites or customers who prefer to work locally, Red Hat provides a command line tool for managing your RHN Entitlement Certificate and activating the Satellite using that certificate: RHN Satellite Activate (
rhn-satellite-activate). This is included with the Satellite installation as part of the rhns-satellite-tools package.
5.3.1. Command Line Entitlement Options
The
rhn-satellite-activate tool offers a handful of command line options for activating a Satellite using its RHN Entitlement Certificate:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
-h, --help | Display the help screen with a list of options. |
--sanity-only | Confirm certificate sanity. Does not activate the Satellite locally or remotely. |
--disconnected | Activates locally but not on remote RHN Servers. |
--rhn-cert=/PATH/TO/CERT | Uploads new certificate and activates the Satellite based upon the other options passed (if any). |
--systemid=/PATH/TO/SYSTEMID | For testing only - Provides an alternative system ID by path and file. The system default is used if not specified. |
--no-ssl | For testing only - Disable SSL. |
To use these options, insert the option and the appropriate value, if needed, after the
rhn-satellite-activate command. Refer to Section 5.3.2, “Activating the Satellite”.
