/usr/sbin/sconadm register -a [-e softwareUpdate | -E softwareUpdate] [-h hostname] [-l logfile] [-N] [-p proxy_host[:proxy_port]] [-r registration_profile] [-u username] [-x proxy_username]

The sconadm utility is a command-line version of the Basic Registration GUI. In the first form of the command in the SYNOPSIS, sconadm uses the register subcommand to register a host with a registration server. In the second form, sconadm uses the proxy subcommand to configure all of the components for software update to use an HTTP web proxy.
The parameters specified with -u, -e (or -E), -h, -p, and -x override values specified in your registration profile. A template for this profile, owned by root, with read-only permissions, is stored in /usr/lib/breg/data/RegistrationProfile.properties. See registration_profile(4).
For the proxy subcommand, the proxy password is stored in the RegistrationProfile.properties file, available if proxy authentication is needed. Storage in the profile prevents proxy passwords from being exposed as part of a listing of processes on a system.
The following options are supported:
-a
Accept "Terms of Use and Binary Code License". Absence of this option means that you do not accept the license.
-e softwareUpdate
Enable client to be managed at the Sun-hosted Update Connection Service.
-E softwareUpdate
Disable client's ability to be managed at the Sun-hosted Update Connection Service.
-h hostname
Hostname of the machine you want to register.
-l logfile
Pathname of log file.
-N
Never register.
-p proxy_host[:proxy_port]
Proxy host name and optional proxy port number.
-r registration_profile
Pathname to a registration profile.
-u username
User name (a Sun Online Account).
-x proxy_username
User name on the proxy host.
Unless specified otherwise, the commands below require root privileges or privileges equivalent to root. See privileges(5).
Example 1 Registering a New System
Assume a file registrationprofile.properties in /tmp that contains the following:
userName=user123 password=abc123 hostName= subscriptionKey= portalEnabled=false proxyHostName= proxyPort= proxyUserName= proxyPassword=
To register a new system using the profile above, you enter:
/usr/sbin/sconadm register -a -r /tmp/registrationprofile.properties
Example 2 Reregistering a System with a Different User
Assume a file registrationprofile.properties in /tmp with the contents shown below. Note the changed specification for userName and password.
userName=newuser password=newpassword hostName= subscriptionKey= portalEnabled=false proxyHostName= proxyPort= proxyUserName= proxyPassword=
To reregister a new system using the profile above, you enter the same command you entered to register the system:
/usr/sbin/sconadm register -a -r /tmp/registrationprofile.properties
Example 3 Reregistering a System, Adding a Sun Subscription Key
Modify registrationprofile.properties as follows:
userName=newuser password=newpassword hostName= subscriptionKey=abc12345678 portalEnabled=false proxyHostName= proxyPort= proxyUserName= proxyPassword=
Run the command:
/usr/sbin/sconadm register -a -r /tmp/registrationprofile.properties
Example 4 Reregistering and Enabling Access to all Update Connection Services
Modify registrationprofile.properties as follows:
userName=newuser password=newpassword hostName= subscriptionKey=abc12345678 portalEnabled=false proxyHostName= proxyPort= proxyUserName= proxyPassword=
Note that portalEnabled is set to false. Run the command:
/usr/sbin/sconadm register -a -r /tmp/registrationprofile.properties \e
-e softwareUpdate
Example 5 Never Registering
To never register a system, enter:
/usr/sbin/sconadm register -N
Example 6 Using a Proxy Server With Proxy Authentication
Edit registrationprofile.properties as follows:
userName= password= hostName= subscriptionKey= portalEnabled= proxyHostName=webcache.mycompany.com proxyPort=8080 proxyUserName=myCompanyProxyUserName proxyPassword=myCompanyProxyPassword
Run the command:
/usr/sbin/sconadm proxy -r /tmp/registrationprofile.properties
Example 7 Changing Proxy Host Settings
Edit registrationprofile.properties as follows:
userName= password= hostName= subscriptionKey= portalEnabled= proxyHostName=webcache.mycompany.com proxyPort=8080 proxyUserName=myCompanyProxyUserName proxyPassword=myCompanyProxyPassword
Run the command:
/usr/sbin/sconadm proxy -r /tmp/registrationprofile.properties
Then, change the proxyHostName value by running the following command:
/usr/sbin/sconadm proxy -r /tmp/registrationprofile.properties \e
-p newproxy.mycompany.com
After the preceding command all proxies use newproxy.mycompany.com.
Example 8 Resetting a System Not to Use a Proxy
Edit registrationprofile.properties as follows:
userName= password= hostName= subscriptionKey= portalEnabled= proxyHostName= proxyPort= proxyUserName= proxyPassword=
Note that values for all proxy fields are null.
Run the command:
/usr/sbin/sconadm proxy -r /tmp/registrationprofile.properties
0
Success.
>0
An error occurred.
/usr/lib/breg/data/RegistrationProfile.properties
Registration profile template.
