I had been trying the credentials that I use to log into SCC, but I decided in the off chance to use the credentials of on of the registered SLES servers, and I am now able to access the repository. Thank you very much for everyone's help. Daryl

Tony, When I look at "Organization", I only see the username of the person who registered with SCC. The "username" is what I use when I register a system to SCC. I don't see any other "credentials" Perhaps I am not entering the URL syntax correctly? https://<username>:<password>@nu.novell.com/repo/$RCE/SLES11-SP3-Pool/sle-11-x86_64 I did as Bernd suggested and tried that string in my browser. If I have only the user ID in the URL I get prompted for a user ID and password, But, I am not able to log in. I get an "invalid User ID or Password" error. If I try with the user ID and password in the URL, I just get an error from Google telling me that my search did not match any documents. If I use that URL string in SW, I still get: "ERROR: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: sles11sp3_channel. Please verify its path and try againSync completed" I know the user ID and password are correct. They are what I use to log into SCC and what I use to register servers to SCC. Am I missing something else?
