Chapter 4. Red Hat Network Website
You can return to this page by clicking Your RHN on the left navigation bar.
4.3.1. Your Account
The Your Account page allows you to modify your personal information, such as name, password,
email and title. To modify any of this information, merely make the changes in the appropriate text
fields and click the Update button in the bottom right-hand corner.
Remember, if you change your Red Hat Network password (the one used to log into RHN and red-
hat.com), you will not see your new one as you type it for security reasons. Replace the asterisks in
the Password and Password Confirmation text fields with your new password.
4.3.1.1. Addresses
The Addresses page allows you to manage your mailing, billing and shipping addresses, as well as
the associated phone numbers. Just click Edit this address below the address to be modified, make
the changes, and click Update Address.
4.3.1.2. Change Email
The email address listed in the Your Account page is the address Red Hat Network sends email
notifications to, if you select to receive Errata Alerts or daily summaries for your systems on the Your
Preferences page.
To change your preferred email address, click Change Email in the left navigation bar. You will then
be asked for the new email address. Enter it and click the Update button. A confirmation email will
be sent to the new email address; responding to the confirmation email will validate the new email
address. Note that false email addresses such as those ending in "@localhost" are filtered and rejected.
4.3.1.3. Account Deactivation
The Account Deactivation page provides a means to cancel your Red Hat Network service. It presents
steps for manual deletion or instructions for contacting Customer Service, depending on your level of
service. Deletion of the account should occur within one business week.
4.3.2. Your Preferences
The Your Preferences page allows you to configure Red Hat Network options, including:
Email Notifications — Determine whether you want to receive email every time an Errata Alert is
•
applicable to one or more systems in your RHN account.
Important
This setting also enables Enterprise customers to receive a daily summary of system events.
These include actions affecting packages, such as scheduled Errata Updates, and system reboots
or failures to check in. In addition to selecting this checkbox, you must identify each system to be
included in this summary email. (By default, all Enterprise systems are included in the summary.)
This can be done either through the System Details page individually or through the System Set
Manager interface for multiple systems at once. Note that RHN will send these summaries only to
verified email addresses. To disable all messages, simply deselect this checkbox.
