How to sconadm register behind "firewall"?
Hi,
We are using Sun Web Hosted Update Connection services.
The registration feature of sconadm works fine when the systems can see Port 443
outbound and I can register all these hosts with no problem.
The systems that are "behind" the "firewall" (quotes intended for clarity as it is not
a real firewall), do not have any way to get to the updateconnection server
because Ports 80 & 443 are administratively blocked for these Ports and furthermore,
our proxy server does not carry SSL, which is instead done via Direct connections.
So, my question is:
How do I register these important systems when the Ports required are not
available?
Can I run sconadm on another host and using the registration.properties file,
can I just input the "Host=" field and it will do the same thing?Sconadm
is very optimistic as it will often report "success" when nothing is done.
How do I know it's working?!
Is there a web page I can go to, that will accept the same info as sconadm
that I can use to register these systems so they can obtain their full entitlements?
(If there is not one, there should be, please Sun!).
Once the systems are registered, I have no problems patching them as
they can get to my patchsvr proxy no worries.
