2. Registration

Before you begin using Red Hat Network, you must create a username, password, and System
Profile. Upon launch, the Red Hat Update Agent senses whether these tasks have been
accomplished. If not, it guides you through the registration process.
If you ever need to force the Red Hat Update Agent into registration mode, such as to
re-register an existing system, you may do so by issuing the following command at a shell
prompt:
up2date --register
Important
If your username is part of a larger organizational account, you should take
caution when registering systems. By default, all systems registered with the Red
Hat Update Agent end up in the Ungrouped section of systems visible only to
Satellite Administrators. To ensure you retain management of these systems,
Red Hat recommends that your organization create an activation key associated
with a specific system group and grant you permissions to that group. You may
then register your systems using that activation key and find those System
Profiles within RHN immediately. Refer to
Keys" for instructions.
