The two-step SMT Configuration Wizard helps you configure SMT, regardless of the installation method used. Launch this wizard using YaST > Network Services > Micro Focus SMT Configuration Wizard or using the command yast2 smt-wizard. You can change the configuration later using the YaST SMT Server Configuration module— see Micro Focus SMT Server Configuration.
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 Micro Focus Customer Center credentials in User and Password. If you do not know your Micro Focus Customer Center credentials, refer to Mirroring Credentials. Test the entered credentials by clicking Test. 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 Micro Focus Customer Center registration into NCC E-mail Used for Registration.
Your SMT Server URL should contain the URL of the SMT server being configured. It is populated automatically.
Click Next to continue to the second configuration step.
For security reasons, SMT requires a separate user to connect to the database. With the Database Password for smt User widget set the database password for that user. Confirm it in the following field.
Enter all e-mail addresses that SMT should send reports to using the Add button. You are also able to Edit or Delete any incorrect or obsolete addresses.
Then click Next.
If the current MySQL root password is empty—as in any freshly installed system—you will be asked to enter a New MySQL Root Password.
By default, SMT is set to communicate with the client hosts via a secure protocol. For this, the server needs to have a server SSL certificate.
On the SLES server, the wizard displays a warning to create a certificate. Click Run CA management button. This message is not displayed on an OES server.
