[pca] RFE: pca-proxy.cgi without stored credentials

Hi, i have setup pca-proxy.cgi with 20091030-01 and it is working just fine as long as i provide a set of credentials in pca-proxy.conf. As we are a bunch of Sun contractors with individual Sun accounts, i would like to refrain from storing anyone's personal credentials in pca-proxy.conf. Would i

Hi, As we are a bunch of Sun contractors with individual Sun accounts, i would like to refrain from storing anyone's personal credentials in pca-proxy.conf. Would it be possible to have pca-proxy.cgi work with dynamically provided credentials (from the requesting pca via -a)? Agreed, that woul

[pca] Solaris 2.6 patching difficulty.

Hello, I am trying to use pca to load some patches on Solaris 6. When I try to load a patch with pca -i it fails saying .. Failed Failed (patch not found) Installing 106957-01 (1/1) Failed (missing patch file) I have my sunsolve information in the /etc/pca.conf file and have authenticated to the

Re: [pca] Solaris 2.6 patching difficulty.

Check your subscription to be sure you are authorized to get patches for Sun 6. We ran into that some time ago with our Sun 8 boxes, not realizing our subscription did not include 8 (only 9 & 10). Jamen McGranahan Systems Services Librarian Vanderbilt University -Original Message- From

[pca] Using pca with veritas patches.

It seems that a lot of people exclude veritas patches using pca.conf. Does anyone have experience with using pca on veritas patches. We tried to apply 5.0MP3RP3, are these patches in the reference file too? Thanks Ying Xu

Re: [pca] Using pca with veritas patches.

I also avoid Sun patches for Veritas. I download and install packes from Symantec to keep Netbackup up to date. Jeff Earickson Colby College On Fri, 13 Nov 2009, Peter Pickford wrote: Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:20:46 -0800 From: Peter Pickford Reply-To: "PCA (Patch Check Advanced) Discussion"

Re: [pca] Using pca with veritas patches.

We've been using live upgrade for solaris patches. Do you use live upgrade for veritas patches? I'm especially interested in cluster environment. Thanks Ying Xu Unix Group Office: 713-218-4508 BB: 832-671-6633 4828 Loop Central Dr. Houston TX 77081 -Original Message- From: pca
