Before your UNIX-based client systems benefit from Red Hat Network, they must be prepared for connection:

  1. Download and install gzip and required third-party libraries.

  2. Download the RHN application tarball from the Satellite to the client and install the contents.

  3. Next, deploy the SSL certificates required for a secure connection.

  4. Configure the client applications to connect to the RHN Satellite Server.
