To whom it may concern

1. I am trying to register two clients.From the SUSEManager server the register process, takes place without any problem.

cd /srv/www/htdocs/pub/bootstrap/ cat bootstrap-edited.sh | ssh root@client\_server\_name /bin/bash

1.1 But on the one Client server, I am getting the following error.No firewall are enabled on both servers.

## CHECKING THE REGISTRATION STACK

spacewalk-client-tools-1.7.14.19-0.5.3

. up2date config file

## REGISTRATION

Error communicating with server. The message was:

1.3 The Second client error :

Hi  
Make sure your SuMA instance is up to date, then ensure the client that registered is also up to date vai SuMA. Then try re-registering the failing system.

Yes SuMA is up to date.I managed to registered 6 Clients.I recreated my activation keys for all my channels and used only the defaults when creating the activation keys.

“ImportError: No module named rhn.connections” looks like you mixed up package versions for the client stack. Without further information it’s next to impossible to find out why.  
I’d suggest to open a service request and add supportconfig data for server (for the log files) and client (for the package versions).

Same problem here while registering SLES12SP1 client on a proxy site. Was there a SR and/or solution to this issue?  
SuMA and Proxy are up to date.

Had the same issue…the bootstrap script doesn’t actually install all the needed RPMs…there were 2 rpm’s I had to copy over and install, then re-ran the bootstrap script and all was well in the world…

Off the top of my head, I think it was these two:

suseRegisterInfo-3.0.2-18.1.x86\_64  
rhnlib-2.5.84.2-11.1.noarch
