Smt Configuration Wizard - Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE 10 SP2 - SUBSCRIPTION MANAGEMENT TOOL GUIDE Manual

1.3 SMT Configuration Wizard

During the installation of SMT the two-step SMT Configuration Wizard is launched,
irrespective of the used installation method. Configure SMT using this wizard. However,
you will be able to change the configuration later using the YaST SMT Configuration
module.
1 The Enable Subscription Management Tool service (SMT) option is checked by
default. Uncheck it only if you want to disable the installed SMT.
If the firewall is enabled, check Open Port in Firewall to allow access to the
SMT service from remote computers.
Enter your Novell Customer Center mirroring credentials in NU User and NU
Password. NU stands for Novell Update. If you do not know your Novell Cus-
tomer Center credentials, refer to
(page 13). Test the entered credentials by pressing the Test button. SMT will
connect to the Customer Center server using the provided credentials and
download some testing data.
Enter the e-mail address you have used for the Novell Customer Center registra-
tion into NCC E-mail Used for Registration.
Your SMT Server URL should contain the URL of the SMT server being config-
ured. It is filled in automatically.
Press Next to continue to the second configuration step.
2 For security reasons, SMT uses a special user in the database. Set the SMT
Database Password in the respective fields. The password should not be empty.
Enter all e-mail addresses SMT should send reports to using the Add button. You
are also able to Edit or Delete any incorrect or needless addresses.
Press Next.
3 If the current MySQL root password is empty—as in any freshly installed sys-
tem— you will be asked to enter a New MySQL Root Password.
