Auto Update Authentication

Auto Update Authentication
Fri, 04 Apr 2008 23:27:33 GMT
I have been trying to do setup automatic updates using YOU and it wants me to
authenticate!  Where on Novell's site do we register to get the login/pass for
that?

Am I even on the right path?

thanks,

soroush

You don't need to authenticate to get updates with openSUSE.
Are you running SLES or SLED?

Hi
You should really post this in the novell.sles forums, this is for
openSUSE.

Here is where you can create an account
https://secure-www.novell.com/selfreg/jsp/createAccount.jsp

But you need to use the yast tool and enter your activation code to
enable the updates.
