Note
For more control over the registration process and your system profile, use
the
Red Hat Network Registration Client to register a new system (see
Chapter 2,
Red Hat Network Registration Client
).
To register a system through the Web interface use the following steps:
1. Login to Red Hat Network at https://www.redhat.com/network/, click the
Main
button on the top
navigation bar and click the
Add System
link.
2. Enter a system name, choose your architecture, and choose whether to include hardware and soft-
ware information in your system profile.
3. Click the
Download Digital Certificate
button. This will take you to a second Add System Profile
page.
4. Next, you will receive a prompt to download the file named
systemid
. Save this file in your
home directory or somewhere you can find it easily. If you are not prompted to save the file, click
the Save button under step 2 and save it as the filename
systemid
.
5. Click the
Finish
button.
6. The newly registered system will not appear in your network group immediately. The next time
the daemon connects to Red Hat Network, it will send the information necessary to generate a
system profile, and the system will appear in your account. This can take up to thirty minutes (or
longer if you increased the time interval for your Red Hat Network Daemon).
7. Open a shell prompt (for example an xterm or gnome-terminal) and log in as root. Copy the
systemid
file that you downloaded to
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid
.
8. No hardware or software information is gathered during the Web registration process. The Red
Hat Network Daemon on the client side must initiate a connect to Red Hat Network and send this
information. For this to happen, make sure the Red Hat Network Daemon is running by typing the
command
/sbin/service rhnsd restart
. This command will restart the daemon if it is
already started or start the daemon if it is stopped.
9. To make sure the daemon is always started and requesting updates from Red Hat Network execute
the command
chkconfig --level 345 rhnsd on
as root in a shell prompt.
