Hello,

I believe to have everything configured and installed properly with regards
to my external cert and activating the Spacewalk Proxy 1.6.

The output from the /usr/bin/rhn-proxy-activate:
API version: 1.6
RHN Proxy scuccessfully activated.

However, when I use the Spacwalk web GUI and do the following:
Click on Systems  --> Click on the Spacewalk Proxy server name 'spacewalk-proxy'
--> then under 'Details' click on the 'Proxy' link.  The next page says:

Permission Error

1. --> The session was valid (it did not timeout)
2. --> Perhaps this is the problem... (?)
3. --> Cookies are enabled.
4. --> I may have done something naughty, I suppose.

I looked in /var/log/tomcat6/catalina.out on the Spacewalk Server
expecting an error
message, but there is none.

Since the Spacewalk Proxy successfully activated to Spacewalk, I
assumed all was go.

Any idea where else I should look to find out why I am getting a
permission error?

Thank you in advance.
