Sun Update Connection System 1.0.8 Administration Guide

ProcedureHow to Create a Sun Online Account (Browser Interface)

If you have not previously created a Sun Online Account, you can create one from the Log In screen.


Note –

A Sun Online Account is required for you to register each client system. If you are creating your Sun Online Account here, you have not registered your Sun systems for remote update management in the Update Manager application. You must log into each client system and register each system for Manage at Sun Update Connection System to view and manage your systems using the Sun Update Connection System services.


  1. Click the Not Registered: Create Account link in the Existing Users Log in panel.

    The Registration window appears.


    Note –

    The system where you are logged in must be connected to the Internet to create the Sun Online Account. The information you enter into the fields is saved locally and sent to Sun. Sun requests that you use English characters for the information you supply.


  2. Complete the fields.

    Some fields are required. Your account creation will fail if any of these fields are blank.

  3. Click Next to connect to Sun and validation of the entered data.

    If a required field is blank, or an invalid entry is detected, a message displays, the screen is displayed again, and you are prompted to correct the error or fill in the blank field.

    Data is validated to make sure of the following:

    • User name is not already taken (at Sun).

    • Required fields are completed.

    • All entered data matches field validation logic.

  4. Click Continue.

    The Terms of Use window displays.

  5. Review the Sun Terms of Use.

    • If the terms are acceptable, click I Accept and click Submit.

      Your registration is completed, and the Home page appears.

    • If you have questions or concerns about the Terms of Use, click Cancel to discard your account changes.

      Contact your Sun representative to discuss your questions or concerns.

      The Summary screen appears, but no system information is displayed as no systems are registered.

  6. Launch the Update Manager application and register your system.
