4.2. Registration
Before you begin using Red Hat Network, you must create a username, password, and System
Profile. Upon launch, the Red Hat Update Agent senses whether these tasks have been
accomplished. If not, it guides you through the registration process.
If you ever need to force the Red Hat Update Agent into registration mode, such as to re-register an
existing system, you may do so by issuing the following command at a shell prompt:
up2date --register
Important
If your username is part of a larger organizational account, you should take caution
when registering systems. By default, all systems registered with the
Red Hat Update
Agent
end up in the Ungrouped section of systems visible only to Satellite Administrators.
To ensure you retain management of these systems, Red Hat recommends that your
organization create an activation key associated with a specific system group and grant
you permissions to that group. You may then register your systems using that activation
key and find those System Profiles within RHN immediately. Refer to
Section 4.5,
“Registering with Activation Keys”
for instructions.
After installing the Red Hat GPG Key, the screen shown in
Figure 4.3, “Welcome Screen”
appears. It
appears each time you start the Red Hat Update Agent. Click
Forward
to continue.
