      Description of problem:

      Section 2.5.2.1. Creating a custom SSL certificate for Capsule Server of the Installing Capsule Server guide starts with the following line:

      On Satellite Server, create a custom certificate for your Capsule Server. If you already have a custom SSL certificate for Capsule Server, skip this procedure. 

      This is a major source of confusions for users who are performing this procedure for the first time or who are not familiar with the custom SSL certificates deployment on Linux workflow.

       

      How reproducible:

      Sometimes.

       

      Is this issue a regression from an earlier version:

      No.

       

      Steps to Reproduce:

      Follow section 2.5.2.1. Creating a custom SSL certificate for Capsule Server of the Installing Capsule Server guide.

       

      Actual behavior:

      There is high potential that users got confused and apply the procedure on the Satellite server instead of the Capsule server.

       

      Expected behavior:
      The text at the beginning of the referred to section is clear enough not to imply that the steps are to be performed on the Satellite server. It should state clearly that the steps in this section should be performed on the Capsule server.

       

      Business Impact / Additional info:

      Custom SSL certificates are deployed wrongly on Capsule servers, blocking the successful configuration/deployment of the Capsule servers.
