Older rhn client packages? Please update before *August 12, 2013* RHN SSL CA Certificate Renewal

(migrated to Discussions area from the original Groups post)

The Red Hat Network (RHN Classic) CA certificate is distributed with products that connect to the Red Hat Network, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and is used to verify the product's secure connection to the service.

The CA certificate contained in older rhn client packages (prior to erratas listed on https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/353033) will result in connection errors after RHN Classic renews the certificate on August 12th, 2013.

Please make sure your systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 5 or earlier [1*] have updated rhn client packages which contain the new CA certificate in order to continue to connect to RHN Classic after ***August 12th, 2013*** - refer to this solution https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/353033 to see if your rhn client package version is affected, and for instructions on updating the packages.

If the CA certificate is not updated, your Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems will no longer be able to securely connect to RHN Classic and receive updates. Systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 or above, and/or using Red Hat Subscription Management, are not affected.

[1] This also includes Red Hat Satellite and Proxy servers themselves in connected mode, and client systems in RHEL client->Red Hat Proxy Server->RHN Classic configurations.*
