Issue

Bootstrap.sh scripts that have been created with rhn-bootstrap seem to have a bug when being used solely for https connections to the satellite server.

Specifically the following section of the bootstrap.sh scripts is affected:

if [ $USING_SSL -eq 1 ] ; then
    if [ $ORG_CA_CERT_IS_RPM_YN -eq 1 ] ; then
        rpm -Uvh ${HTTP_PUB_DIRECTORY}/${ORG_CA_CERT}
    else
        rm -f ${ORG_CA_CERT}
        $FETCH ${HTTP_PUB_DIRECTORY}/${ORG_CA_CERT}
        mv ${ORG_CA_CERT} /usr/share/rhn/
    fi
fi

This section is only executed when SSL should be used (USING_SSL=1), but instead of the ssl URL (HTTPS_PUB_DIRECTORY) the non-ssl url is used to retrieve the RPM/file containing the organisation ca certificate. As rpm does not seem to support https connections, it should not be used directly to receive and install the Cert RPM. Instead a combination of $FETCH + RPM should be used.
