Redhat Network problem for updating

[JBruyet]

Hey all,

I recently installed RH8 on a computer (it came with the book). The installation went very smoothly, but I get the following error when I try to connect to Redhat Network in order to update my system:.

Exception type SSL.Error

Error: [('SSL routines', 'SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE', 'certificate verify failed')]

I was getting this error before with a different computer but I don't remember how I was able to get past it. I think it was something about a certificate. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
