OpenSolaris Support Repository Updates

Customers are required to register and obtain a certificate before accessing a Support Repository.

Certificates can be obtained from https://pkg.sun.com/register.

Browsing the Opensolaris Support repo in Firefox

Browsing the support and extra repos in Firefox requires importing the certificate. To set up Firefox to be able to browse the support repo:

1. Run

        openssl pkcs12 -in /var/pkg/ssl/OpenSolaris_support.certificate.pem \
             -inkey /var/pkg/ssl/OpenSolaris_support.key.pem -export > \
             /tmp/OpenSolaris_support.certificate.pkcs12
        

2. This will prompt you for a password with which to encrypt the pkcs12 file.

3. In Firefox, add the pkcs12 file: Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Encryption -> View Certificates -> Your Certificates -> Import -> choose file
(/tmp/OpenSolaris_support.certificate.pkcs12) -> enter password.

4. Point your browser at https://pkg.sun.com/opensolaris/support. A dialog box will pop up saying that the site has requested you identify yourself with a cert, and gives you a list of possible certs to use. Choose the right one, click OK, and then you can browse the repo.
