Why do I get "Your satellite certificate signature is not valid." when attempting to activate a Red Hat Satellite certificate I generated through the Customer Portal?
Issue
- After obtaining a Red Hat Satellite certificate through the Customer Portal tool the certificate fails to activate with the following error message:
[root@satellite ~]# rhn-satellite-activate --sanity-only --verbose --rhn-cert=/tmp/new_rhn.cert
