Appendix A. Sample Bootstrap Script

#!/bin/bash
echo "RHN Server Client bootstrap script v3.6"

# This file was autogenerated. Minor manual editing of this script (and
# possibly the client-config-overrides.txt file) may be necessary to complete
# the bootstrap setup. Once customized, the bootstrap script can be triggered
# in one of two ways (the first is preferred):
#
#   (1) centrally, from the RHN Server via ssh (i.e., from the
#       RHN Server):
#         cd /var/www/html/pub/bootstrap/
#         cat bootstrap-<edited_name>.sh | ssh root@<client-hostname> /bin/bash
#
#   ...or...
#
#   (2) in a decentalized manner, executed on each client, via wget or curl:
#         wget -qO- https://<hostname>/pub/bootstrap/bootstrap-<edited_name>.sh | /bin/bash
#         ...or...
#         curl -Sks https://<hostname>/pub/bootstrap/bootstrap-<edited_name>.sh | /bin/bash

# SECURITY NOTE:
#   Use of these scripts via the two methods discussed is the most 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 actual registration process is performed securely via SSL, so the risk
#   is minimized in a sense. This message merely serves as a warning.
#   Adminitrators 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_REGISTER VERSIONING NOTE:
#   This script will not work with very old versions of up2date and
#   rhn_register.
