Upgrading from LSU Proxy Server
Note: These commands need to be run in the Terminal or Shell as the root user
The installation process consists of the following steps:

Create LSU RHN Satellite account via Help Desk (if installling first system)

Remove the old LSU Proxy Server Certificate:
yum remove lsu-rhns-ca-cert-4.2-2.noarch

Install LSU RHN Satellite Server Certificate:
rpm -ivh http://satellite.rhn.lsu.edu/pub/rhn-org-trusted-ssl-cert-1.0-1.noarch.rpm

At this point if you are upgrading a RHEL 5.1 or 5.2, you have to change a up2date conf
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date and change serverUrl to https://reg018.hpc.lsu.edu

Register the system:

At the command line type the following command:
rhnreg_ks --serverUrl https://satellite.rhn.lsu.edu/XMLRPC --sslCACert /usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT --username (username) --password (password)

Alternativly, you can register with an activation key if you have that:
rhnreg_ks --serverUrl https://satellite.rhn.lsu.edu/XMLRPC --sslCACert /usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT --activationkey (key)

Note: Do not run rhn_register as this will not register you with the LSU Servers

Run:
yum clean all yum check-update
