Description

The registration profile is a template for the information provided for Basic Registration. The information in this template is consumed by the sconadm(1M) utility. sconadm is the command-line alternative to the Basic Registration GUI.

An example of the registration profile template is provided in /usr/lib/breg/data/RegistrationProfile.properties. This file is owned by root, with read-only permissions. As root, you can copy the file to a location of your choosing and edit the file.

The registration profile template contains the following properties:

userName=
password=
hostName=
subscriptionKey=
portalEnabled=
proxyHostName=
proxyPort=
proxyUserName=
proxyPassword=

Values are not required for every property. The filling in or leaving blank a property depends on the task you intend to perform. Possible tasks are registering a new system, reregistering a system, and establishing a proxy. See sconadm(1M) for examples.
