# mv /root/.rhui/rhua.example.com/user.crt /tmp/rhui_backup
# mv /etc/pki/rhua/user-ca-key.pem /tmp/rhui_backup
# mv /etc/pki/rhua/user-ca-cert.crt /tmp/rhui_backup
# mv /etc/pki/rhui/entitlement-ca-key.pem /tmp/rhui_backup
# mv /etc/pki/rhui/entitlement-ca.crt /tmp/rhui_backup
# mv /etc/pki/rhui/identity.key /tmp/rhui_backup
# mv /etc/pki/rhui/identity.crt /tmp/rhui_backup
- Recreate the RHUI SSL certificates using
create_rhui_ssl_certs.shscript.
# cd /root/
# /usr/share/rh-rhua/rhui_certs/create_rhui_ssl_certs.sh rhua.example.com cds1.example.com cds2.example.com

rhui-installerwith the answers file.
# rhui-installer /root/rhui-certs/answers
Generating RHUA configuration RPM
RHUA RPM can be found at [/etc/rhui]
Generating CDS bundle for CDS [dhcp7-146.gsslab.pnq.redhat.com]
CDS RPM can be found at [/etc/rhui]
Generating CDS bundle for CDS [dhcp7-150.gsslab.pnq.redhat.com]
CDS RPM can be found at [/etc/rhui]
- Install the generated RPMs on RHUA and both the CDS.
# rpm -ivh rh-rhua-config-2.1-2.el6.noarch.rpm
- SCP the CDS rpms to CDS server and install it respectively.
- If the environment is having any proxy server, then update the below files.
# more /etc/pulp/pulp.conf
# more /etc/rhui/rhui-tools.conf
- Execute the rhui-manager and configure it like the first time.
# rhui-manager
An entitlement signing CA certificate is required to use RHUI Tools
but was not found.
Full path to the new signing CA certificate:
/root/rhui-certs/certs/client-ca-chain.pem
Full path to the new signing CA certificate private key:
/root/rhui-certs/certs/client-ca-key.pem
- Upload the content certificate
# rhui-manager cert upload --cert /root/content-cert.pem
- Now check if everything is fine.
