[Spacewalk-list] spacewalk 1.0 - external DB setup issues

[Tom Brown]

Hi

My install of 1.0 to an external db is failing with the following

# spacewalk-setup --disconnected
* Setting up Oracle environment.

** Database: Setting up database connection.
DB User? XXXXXX
DB Password?
DB SID? XXXXXX

There was a problem validating the satellite certificate: 1

And in the log ...

How can this be ? The connection to the db seems fine and i can see
tables populated there so how can the creds be wrong?

thanks
