5 Red Hat Network Web Application
You can use the Red Hat Network Web Application to manage up to five Red Hat Linux systems
simultaneously. The
Red Hat Network Web Application
runs in a Web browser such as Netscape,
differing from the Red Hat Update Agent which runs as a standalone application.
Red Hat Network Web Application
features include:
1. The
Red Hat Network Web Application
can download a list of selected packages with one
mouse click. After browsing the individual systems in your network and choosing which pack-
ages to install on each of them, you can go to your
Download List page and download packages
for your systems at one time. This allows you to choose your updates without waiting for each
package to download for each system. It also allows you to download each package once instead
of downloading the same package multiple times for various systems.
2. The
Search Errata
tab allows you to generate custom reports detailing the health and security of
your Network Group.
3. System administrators can quickly determine if their systems require updating and what type of
updates are available by viewing the System Overview page.
4. The
Red Hat Network Web Application
will only display errata relevant to your network.
5.1 Logging into Red Hat Network Web Application
If you have not registered a system yet or do not have a redhat.com account, create a new account by
clicking the
Sign Up
button on the left side of the page.
If you registered your system with Red Hat Network through the Red Hat Network Registration Client,
use the same username/password combination to log into the Red Hat Network Web Application.
After creating a new account or using your existing redhat.com account, enter your username and
password on www.redhat.com/network/ and click the
Log In
button.
5.2 Viewing Your Notifications
After logging into the Red Hat Network Web Application, click on the
Main
button on the top naviga-
tion bar. Depending on your preferences, this page displays all security alerts, bug fixes, and package
enhancements (referred to as errata) for all registered systems in your network group (see Figure 5–1,
Main Page).
Click the View All button to view the details for the errata related to your network group. You can also
view the errata page for your network by clicking the
Your Network
button on the top navigation bar
and then the
Errata
tab.
