4.4.1 Adding GPG Keys and SSL Certificates Using the Spacewalk Web Interface

If a target system for a kickstart installation requires either correct GPG keys to install signed packages or a correct SSL certificate to access a Spacewalk server, you must add these keys and certificates to Spacewalk before associating them with your kickstart profile definitions.

To add a GPG key or SSL certificate to Spacewalk:

  1. Go to Systems, select Kickstart and then GPG and SSL Keys to display the GPG Public Keys and SSL Certificates page.

  2. Click Create Stored Key/Cert to display the Create GPG/SSL Key page.

  3. Enter a text description of the key or certificate in the Description field.

  4. Select GPG or SSL, as appropriate, from the Type pull-down menu.

  5. Either click Browse and select the key or certificate file to upload or paste the file contents into the Key contents field.

    Note

    GPG keys must be in ASCII, not binary, format.

  6. Click Create Key.

After you have added the GPG keys and SSL certificates to Spacewalk, you can associate them with kickstart profiles as described in Section 4.4.2, “Working with Kickstart Profiles Using the Spacewalk Web Interface”.
