RHBA-2016:2427 - rhn-client-tools bug fix and enhancement update

Synopsis

rhn-client-tools bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory None

Topic

Updated rhn-client-tools packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available.

Description

• When the rhnpush command was executed with the --server option, and the sslCACert variable was pointing to a non-existent path, rhnpush failed even when the connection to the server used the http protocol instead of https. With this update, rhnpush searches for CA certificate only when it is necessary, which prevents the described failure from occurring. (BZ#1262780)

• Previously, rhn-client-tools mentioned Spacewalk instead of Red Hat Satellite in user interfaces and manual pages. Thus update corrects the text. (BZ#1292036)

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
