Appendix A. Sample BootstrapScriptThe /var/www/html/pub/bootstrap/bootstrap.sh script generated by the RHN SatelliteServer installation program provides the ability to reconfigure client systems to access yourRHN Server easily. It is available to both RHN Satellite Server and RHN Proxy Servercustomers through the RHN Bootstrap tool. After modifying the script for your particular use, itcan be run on each client machine.Review the sample and its comments, beginning with a hash mark (#), for additional details.Follow the steps in Chapter 5, Using RHN Bootstrap to prepare the script for use.#!/bin/bash echo "RHN Server Client bootstrap script v3.6" # This file wasautogenerated. Minor manual editing of this script (and # possibly theclient-config-overrides.txt file) may be necessary to complete # thebootstrap setup. Once customized, the bootstrap script can be triggered # inone of two ways (the first is preferred): # # (1) centrally, from the RHNServer via ssh (i.e., from the # RHN Server): # cd/var/www/html/pub/bootstrap/ # cat bootstrap-.sh | sshroot@ /bin/bash # # ...or... # # (2) in a decentralizedmanner, executed on each client, via wget or curl: # wget -qO- #https:///pub/bootstrap/bootstrap-.sh \ # | /bin/bash# ...or... # curl -Sks #https:///pub/bootstrap/bootstrap-.sh \ # | /bin/bash# SECURITY NOTE: # Use of these scripts via the two methods discussed is themost expedient # way to register machines to your RHN Server. Since "wget"is used # throughout the script to download various files, a"Man-in-the-middle" # attack is theoretically possible. # # The actualregistration process is performed securely via SSL, so the risk # isminimized in a sense. This message merely serves as a warning. #Administrators need to appropriately weigh their concern against the #relative security of their internal network. # PROVISIONING/KICKSTART NOTE:# If provisioning a client, ensure the proper CA SSL public certificate is #configured properly in the post section of your kickstart profiles (the #RHN Satellite or hosted web user interface). # UP2DATE/RHN_REGISTERVERSIONING NOTE: # This script will not work with very old versions ofup2date and # rhn_register. echo echo echo "MINOR MANUAL EDITING OF THISFILE MAY BE REQUIRED!" echo echo "If this bootstrap script was createdduring the initial installation" echo "of an RHN Satellite, theACTIVATION_KEYS, and ORG_GPG_KEY values will" echo "probably *not* be set(see below).
