[Spacewalk-list] Help with client connection to Spacewalk Proxy via SSL with CA signed cert

[William Clark]

I solved the issue.  I took the csr in /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.csr and used that to get a signed cert from my CA.  I then took the resultant cert and moved it to /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt.  I then restarted httpd and I no longer get ssl errors on clients trying to connect to the proxy with ssl.  Nothing else broke in the process so I believe I am good to go.

The problem comes in when I try to connect via SSL from a client to one of the proxy servers.  I get SSL certificate errors.  I suspect that this may have something to do with the fact that I have a CA signed cert on the master but not the proxy's.  So when the proxy's try and validate their self signed certs against the CA chain I have from a valid CA they cannot validate their certs.
