2.6. Configuring Capsule Server with SSL Certificates


Red Hat Satellite uses SSL certificates to enable encrypted communications between Satellite Server, external Capsule Servers, and all hosts. Depending on the requirements of your organization, you must configure your Capsule Server with a default or custom certificate.

2.6.1. Configuring Capsule Server with a Default SSL Certificate

Use this section to configure Capsule Server with an SSL certificate that is signed by the Satellite Server default Certificate Authority (CA).

Prerequisites

Before configuring Capsule Server with a default server certificate, ensure that your Capsule Server meets the following conditions:

Procedure

To configure Capsule Server with a default server certificate, complete the following steps:

  1. On Satellite Server, to store all the source certificate files for your Capsule Server, create a directory that is accessible only to the root user, for example /root/capsule_cert:

    # mkdir /root/capsule_cert
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. On Satellite Server, generate the /root/capsule_cert/capsule_certs.tar certificate archive for your Capsule Server:

    # capsule-certs-generate \
    --foreman-proxy-fqdn capsule.example.com \
    --certs-tar /root/capsule_cert/capsule_certs.tar
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    Retain a copy of the satellite-installer command that the capsule-certs-generate command returns for deploying the certificate to your Capsule Server.

    --scenario capsule \
    --certs-tar-file                              "/root/capsule_certs.tar"\
    --foreman-proxy-content-parent-fqdn           "satellite.example.com"\
    --foreman-proxy-register-in-foreman           "true"\
    --foreman-proxy-foreman-base-url              "https://satellite.example.com"\
    --foreman-proxy-trusted-hosts                 "satellite.example.com"\
    --foreman-proxy-trusted-hosts                 "capsule.example.com"\
    --foreman-proxy-oauth-consumer-key            "s97QxvUAgFNAQZNGg4F9zLq2biDsxM7f"\
    --foreman-proxy-oauth-consumer-secret         "6bpzAdMpRAfYaVZtaepYetomgBVQ6ehY"\
    --puppet-server-foreman-url                   "https://satellite.example.com"
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  3. On Satellite Server, copy the certificate archive file to your Capsule Server:

    # scp /root/capsule_cert/capsule.example.com-certs.tar \
    root@capsule.example.com:/root/capsule.example.com-certs.tar
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  4. On Capsule Server, to deploy the certificate, enter the satellite-installer command that the capsule-certs-generate command returns.

    When network connections or ports to Satellite are not yet open, you can set the --foreman-proxy-register-in-foreman option to false to prevent Capsule from attempting to connect to Satellite and reporting errors. Run the installer again with this option set to true when the network and firewalls are correctly configured.

    重要

    Do not delete the certificate archive file after you deploy the certificate. It is required, for example, when upgrading Capsule Server.
