Tasks That Are Required Prior to Registration

The process of registering your system by using the regadm command includes gathering information and performing certain tasks prior to registration. The task flow is as follows:

1. Configure HTTP proxy information, per site policy, if required.

2. Configure HTTP proxy authentication information, per site policy, if required.

   For information about how to configure HTTP proxy settings, see Configuring Auto Registration Properties.

3. Select a registration method.

   You can register in one of two ways, by specifying named support credentials or anonymously:

   • If you want to register by specifying My Oracle Support credentials or by using a Sun Online account, you must provide those support credentials prior to registration. For instructions, see How to Authenticate a User by Specifying Named Support Credentials.

   • If you are registering anonymously, you can proceed with the registration. See How to Register Your System by Using the regadm Command.
