3.3. Uploading Satellite Proxy Entitlements to Satellite

The next step requires uploading the updating entitlements certificate to your Satellite server, which involves the following steps:
  1. Log into your Red Hat Satellite server as an administration user.
  2. Navigate to AdminRed Hat Satellite ConfigurationCertificate.
  3. Click Browse and select the updated certificate file.
  4. Synchronize the RHN Tools channel. Log in through SSH to the Satellite server and run the following command as root:
    [root@satellite ~]# satellite-sync -c rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-server-6
  5. Once synchronized, add these entitlments to an activation key. Navigate to SystemsActivation Keys and click create new key. Add the base channel for these entitlement, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux base channel, and select Provisioning and Monitoring entitlements. Click Create Activation Key to complete.
The Satellite server now contains the required entitlements to install the Red Hat Satellite Proxy. The resulting activation key contains these entitlements and is used to register the Proxy host to the required channels.
