Agent install on RHEL 7.6 certificate path doesn't get created/detected properly

[bobfrankly]

• SCOM Management Server: at 1807 on Server 2012 R2 patched to current.
• Target Linux Server: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.6 (Maipo) on VMware 6.5

Following the official documentation

1. Performed a install of omsagent-1.6.0-163.rhel.7.x64.sh
2. attempted to find the certificate for signing. normal linux path does not exist. /etc/opt/microsoft/scx/ssl contains only scx.pem. No host pem file.
3. attempted running /opt/microsoft/omsagent/bin/regenerate_scom_cert.sh got the following output:

Regenerating SCOM certs Generating certificate with hostname="servername.redacted.org"

Generation of certificate raised an exception Output path "/etc/opt/microsoft/omsagent/scom/certs/" does not exist

WORKAROUND

I was able to create the missing path, and generate some certificates. I still have to sign them and test further, but this looks on the face like undesireable behavior.
