[Spacewalk-list] OSAD clients offline as of unknown

[Parrucci, Brian Anthony. (GSFC-590.0)[ASRC MANAGEMENT SERVICES INC]]

$ rpm -q osa-dispatcher
osa-dispatcher-5.11.10-1.el6.noarch

When I added:
 > osa-dispatcher.jabber_username = pqsql username
> osa-dispatcher.jabber_password = pqsql password

It fixed my osad problem on half my clients. The other half was missing 
server_name osa_ssl_cert = /usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT
in osad.conf. Adding it brought them online.  

But according to your last e-mail neither of these should matter right? What would be wrong?

Before in psql running: select jabber_id, password from rhnPushDispatcher; returned 0 fields.
 After adding username and password to osad.conf now it returns 1 row: 
(rhn-dispatcher-sat at server.fqdn.com/superclient | encrypted password)
and no more 'Invalid password' in osa-dispatcher.log

Is something wrong here? I'm running spacewalk 1.8 upgraded from 1.7.

These two directives are not being used since Spacewalk 1.6 -- these two values are not stored in your database.

Correct, this should not matter much, as long as the CA certificate in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date is setup correctly.
