Securely with encrypted data bag:
* Create wrapper cookbook which:
* Sets node['rhn']['register'] to false
* Reads encrypted data bag
* Calls default recipe (or customize)
* Calls rhn_system LWRP

Less securely with attributes:
* Set node['rhn']['username'] and node['rhn']['password']
* Add recipe[rhn] to your run_list

Register Node with RHN Satellite (satellite.example.com)

  • Add at least one activation key to node['rhn']['activation_keys']
