I don't think we ever tested this with SLES/OpenSUSE as that's not covered under standard Oracle support. I've not even looked into how you register a SLES system to Spacewalk, so I can't comment on how that process would need to be updated for a 3rd-party certificate.

However, this seems like a verification issue, so I would double-check that you're using the correct CA certificate (RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT) and that it has the entire CA chain contained. Otherwise, the client would not be able to verify the certificate provided by the server.

Can you point me towards the appropriate documentation that outlines the SLES registration process to Spacewalk so I can review?

Thanks,
Avi
