Hi everybody,

I’ve setup an SMT on SLES11 SP3 and want to restrict clients (running SLES12). There is the “requiredAuthType” in /etc/smt.conf. I want to use “lazy” but where do I have to configure the users with their passwords or with the repos they could use if I want to switch to strict? And where do I have to give the username and password at the clients? I can’t find these points in the documentation about SMT…
