How to turn off the warning message, “Invalid or Missing Entitlement Certificates”

last modified by Moritoshi Oshiro on 09/21/11 – 04:29Issue

  • We manage entitlement/subscription in RHN Classic (not Customer Portal)
  • The system is not connected to the Internet with RHN Classic (in disconnected mode), therefore the system is not registered in RHN Classic
  • When the system starts, getting a warning message “Invalid or Missing Entitlement Certificates. This system is missing one or more valid entitlement certificates.” on X window
  • The warning message is meaningless and always annoying me when the system starts, therefore I want to turn off the warning message
  • How do I turn off this warning message?

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.7 and later (New installed)
  • Managing entitlement/subscription in RHN Classic (not Customer Portal)
  • Without the Internet connection (in disconnected mode)
  • Without RHN Satellite

Resolution

  • The only way to turn off the warning message is to remove the following related packages:

   subscription-manager
   subscription-manager-firstboot
   subscription-manager-gnome

  • Remove the related packages by issuing the following command in one line:

    yum remove subscription-manager subscription-manager-firstboot subscription-manager-gnome

  • Reboot the system to turn off the warning message
