6.6.1 Providing Data to Access an SMT
By default updates for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server are delivered by the Novell
Customer Center. If your network provides a so called SMT server to provide a local
update source, you need to equip the client with the server's URL. Client and server
communicate solely via HTTPS protocol, therefore you also need to enter a path to the
server's certificate if the certificate was not issued by a certificate authority. This infor-
mation can either be entered at the boot prompt as described here, or during the regis-
tration process as described in
smturl
URL of the SMT server. The URL has a fixed format
https://FQN/center/regsvc/ FQN has to be full qualified hostname of
the SMT server. Example:
smturl=https://smt.example.com/center/regsvc/
smtcert
Location of the SMT server's certificate. Specify one of the following locations:
URL
96
Deployment Guide
Server
Remote location (http, https or ftp) from which the certificate can be download-
ed. Example:
smtcert=http://smt.example.com/smt-ca.crt
