This problem is now fixed in cobbler git master, but you can also patch action_reposync.py manually.

 

 

See  https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/pull/1763/files

--- Original post:

The repo type has to be yum rather than rhn, and the necessary certificate 
options (included by yumoption) are not passed thru to the dot-origin repo file
 
The command "cobbler reposync" fails, but if I run the reposync command by 
hand, pointing at the /etc/yum.repos file contailing all the necessary optional 
parameters, it works.
 
Any suggestions ?  RHN-Classic is going away, so something needs to change.
