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

- 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
