How to Specify a User Name and Password With Which to Obtain Patches (Web Browser)

   See How to Access the Sun Patch Manager Browser Interface (Web Browser).

4. Specify your Sun user name and password.

   If you do not have an account, register for one at http://sunsolve.sun.com.

   1. Specify your user name in the Sun User Name field.

   2. Specify the password for your user in the Sun User Password field.

      The password appears as asterisks in the field.
