Important
Although this is not configurable, users should still make note that the port used
by the Red Hat Update Agent is 443 for SSL (HTTPS) and 80 for non-SSL
(HTTP). By default,
up2date
uses SSL only. For this reason, users should
ensure that their firewalls allow connections over port 443. To bypass SSL,
change the protocol for serverURL from
https
to
http
in the
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date
configuration file.
5. Registering with Activation Keys
In addition to the standard Red Hat Update Agent interface,
up2date
offers a utility aimed at
batch processing system registrations: activation keys. Each unique key can be used to register
Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems, entitle them to an RHN service level, and subscribe them to
specific channels and system groups, all in one action. This automation bypasses entitlement
and registration via Red Hat Network Registration Client and Red Hat Update Agent.
Alternatively, both the Red Hat Network Registration Client and Red Hat Update Agent offer the
activation keys utility
rhnreg_ks
as part of their packages.
Note
Systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 need version 2.9.3-1 or higher of
the
rhn_register
package. It is highly recommended that you obtain the latest
version before using activation keys.
Before using an activation key you must first generate one through the RHN website. Refer to
Section 4.6, “Activation Keys —
”
for precise steps.
To use an activation key, run the following command as root from a shell prompt on the system
