[katello-devel] client bootstrap script for easy registration

[Eric Sammons]

On second thought the rpm approach may not be ideal as it creates a dependency; rpm-build would be required and may not be a good idea for some of our customers.

I got annoyed having to follow the client registration steps:

https://fedorahosted.org/katello/wiki/GuideSystemRegistrationClient

so I wrote a script to do these things automatically.  You can find it here:

http://git.fedorahosted.org/git?p=katello.git;a=blob_plain;f=scripts/bootstrap.sh;hb=HEAD

or in git under scripts/bootstrap.sh

You run it and it reconfigures your rhsm.conf to point at the $1 
hostname you are wanting to register the system to.  It also SCPs the 
candlepin cert file to the client as well.  The next steps will be to 
modify our katello-configure RPM to symlink that cert to 
/var/www/html/pub so clients can just download it directly.

I submitted a bug + patch for if/when we want to do this bootstrap thing 
for real:
