  • RHEL Subscription Managment and PKI

    Posted on

    Hi all,

    Just a quick query regarding the certificates in /etc/pki/consumer.

    I understand that they are related to the Subscription manager as this page has a description on them (https://access.redhat.com/articles/433903).

    /etc/pki/consumer
    When you register your system (subscription-manager register), the cert.pem and key.pem files are added to this directory. Those files are removed when you unregister (subscription-manager unregister).

    We run AIDE on our systems and these files changed without user input, and as a result this triggered an AIDE warning.

    Are these certificates expected to change randomly, or is their a trigger for it?

    I can see my certificate is no expected to expire on Jun 13 11:26:18 2018 GMT - Is the the next time i would expect these certificates to change?

    Thanks for any info!
