# pkgadd -d RHATpossl-0.6-1.p24.6.pkg all

# pkgadd -d RHATrhnl-1.8-7.p23.pkg all

Note

Use the -n option for pkg ad d to run the command in non-interactive mode. However, this may

cause the installation of some packages to fail silently on Solaris 10.

Continue until each package is installed in the Red Hat Network-specific path:

/o pt/red hat/rhn/so l ari s/.

4 .1.7.1.5. Inclu d ing Red Hat Net wo rk Packag es in t h e PAT H

In order to make the Red Hat Network packages available at each login, you may wish to add them to

your PATH. To do so, add these commands to your login script:

# PATH=$PATH:/opt/redhat/rhn/solaris/bin

# PATH=$PATH:/opt/redhat/rhn/solaris/usr/bin

# PATH=$PATH:/opt/redhat/rhn/solaris/usr/sbin

# export PATH

To enable access to the Red Hat Network client command man pages, add them to your MANPATH.

To do so, add the following commands to your login script:

# MANPATH=$MANPATH:/opt/redhat/rhn/solaris/man

# export MANPATH

Alternatively, you can also access the man pages from the command line, with the following

command:

# man -M /opt/redhat/rhn/solaris/man <man page>

Finally, add the Red Hat Libraries to your PATH as you did with l i bg cc, o penssl and zl i b.

crle -c /var/ld/ld.config -l <current library

paths>:/opt/redhat/rhn/solaris/lib

4.1.7 .2 . De plo ying Clie nt SSL Ce rt ificat es

To ensure secure data transfer, Red Hat strongly recommends the use of SSL. The Red Hat Satellite

eases implementation of SSL by generating the necessary certificates during its installation. The

server-side certificate is automatically installed on the Satellite itself, while the client certificate is

placed in the /pub/ directory of the Satellite's Web server.

To install the certificate, follow these steps for each client:

1. Download the SSL certificate from the /var/www/html /pub/ directory of the Red Hat

Satellite onto the client system. The certificate will be named something similar to R HN-O R G -

T R UST ED -SSL-C ER T . It is accessible via the web at the following URL: https: //yo ur-

satel l i te. exampl e. co m/pub/R HN-O R G -T R UST ED -SSL-C ER T .
