if you are paying good money for redhat support, why not use it?

Is this related to purchased certificate stuff? or something that need to be solved by just running some commands at OS ?

You've been here for three years...and you know NOTHING about Linux yet?

Yes, you can call Red Hat support for such things, and they can assist you. Especially since the website you're referring to is owned by Red Hat, and it's THEIR CERTIFICATE.

You can ALSO head out to Google, and put in "how to generate a website certificate for red hat linux", and read the VERY FIRST HIT from Red Hat's own knowledegbase:
https://access.redhat.com/site/docum...elfsigned.html

...that has complete instructions.
