QUOTE FROM REDHAT BELOW..
On August 10th, the SSL certificate that shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 (including, AS, ES, and WS) and Red Hat Linux 7.1 through 7.3
expired. Customers running RHEL and older versions of RHL need to immediately obtain updated SSL certificates if they have not already done so.
Although Red Hat planned for this changeover and issued Errata containing new certificates some time ago, many customers still use outdated
versions. Those that do will be unable to connect to Red Hat Network, since the SSL certificate has expired. These users will be presented with the
message "SSL_connect error" from up2date and rhn_register. Systems with invalid SSL certificates will be unable to check in, and scheduled
actions will not execute until connectivity can be established.
For this reason, Red Hat strongly recommends all users ensure they have new certificates. See this FAQ for precise instructions.
