Hi, my SMT server is not syncing any longer. Even when syncing manually, the last sync date does not change. I do not get any errors. What can I try next? Oliver ---

Can you connect via the system credentials on the NCC mirrors page? – Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890) openSUSE 12.2 (x86\_64) Kernel 3.4.11-2.16-desktop up 4 days 1:16, 4 users, load average: 0.11, 0.06, 0.07 CPU Intel i5 CPU M520@2.40GHz | Intel Arrandale GPU ---

Even when logging in manually on e.g. [https://nu.novell.com/repo/$RCE/SLES11-SP2-Updates/sle-11-x86\_64/repodata/repomd.xml](https://nu.novell.com/repo/%24RCE/SLES11-SP2-Updates/sle-11-x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml) I get: [CODE] 403 Forbidden Access to this page is restricted because of access control policies.[/CODE] When I submit a non existent login, I am asked again for login and password, so my credentials are ok. ---

Hi, I’ve got a similar problem with a freshly installed SLES11-SP2. I can login (using a browser) to [https://nu.novell.com](https://nu.novell.com), can go into /repo with my credential but cannot go in /repo/$RCE so i cannot add the update repos (using yast for example). Did you finally solved your problem ? The product is activated, valid (not expired), the system is registered, associated to the product, everything looks ok, but I cannot make the online update working. Does anyone have an idea ? Regards, Olivier ---
