Configuring Clients Using The Clientsetup4Smt.sh Script; Registering Clients Against Smt Test Environment - Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE DESKTOP 11 - DEPLOYMENT GUIDE 17-03-2009 Deployment Manual

13.3 Configuring Clients Using the
clientSetup4SMT.sh Script
The /usr/share/doc/packages/smt/clientSetup4SMT.sh script is
provided with SMT. This script allows to configure a client machine to use a SMT
server or to reconfigure it to use a different SMT server.
To configure a client machine to use SMT with the clientSetup4SMT.sh script,
follow these steps:
1 Copy the /usr/share/doc/packages/smt/clientSetup4SMT.sh
script from your SMT server to the client machine.
2 As root, execute the script on the client machine. The script can be executed
in two ways. In the first case, the script name is followed by the registration URL:
./clientSetup4SMT.sh registration_URL, for example,
./clientSetup4SMT.sh
https://smt.example.com/center/regsvc. In the second case, the
script name is followed by the --host option followed by hostname of the SMT
server: ./clientSetup4SMT.sh --host server_hostname, for ex-
ample, ./clientSetup4SMT.sh --host smt.example.com.
3 The script downloads the server's CA certificate. Accept it by pressing y .
4 The script performs all necessary modifications on the client. However, the reg-
istration itself is not performed by the script.
5 Perform a registration by executing suse_register or running yast2
inst_suse_register module on the client.

environment, modify /etc/suseRegister.conf on the client machine by setting:
