[pca] Sun Online Account user name is an email address

[Earle, William B - SSD]

Don,

I could use the help, I will email you my Sunsolve account and phone no. in a separate email.

I was not able to get access to Sun patches via pca (wget). I have been able to use Sunsolve via a web browser and download patches, so I know my account works. It just doesn't work with wget access. I have made an attempt to connect with pca (wget) with my account just as it is on 10/7, so it has been more than 48 hrs.

You mentioned "Members Support Center", I don't know what that is.


When running pca in verbose mode (-v) I get an error "401 Unathorized".

ex:
Trying https://sunsolve.sun.com/ (1/1)
/usr/sfw/bin/wget "https://sunsolve.sun.com/pdownload.do?target=119254-70&method=h" --ca-certificate=/home/home61/wbearle/pca --header="Authorization: Basic YmlsbEBiaWxsZWFybGUuY29tOnVic3BlYWs=" -O /tmp/TD-patchcluster-Sol-10/./119254-70.tmp
--08:11:48--  https://sunsolve.sun.com/pdownload.do?target=119254-70&method=h
           => `/tmp/TD-patchcluster-Sol-10/./119254-70.tmp'

Hi Bill,

Did you get this working?

The error that you are seeing is usually due to an incorrect 
username/password combination. You can obviously verify this quite 
quickly by logging into SunSolve with the username/password via a web 
browser.
The other alternative is that it may be related to wget access issues 
due to a change of contract, which should be resolved within 48 hours 
(or 48 hours after you first try a wget patch download if you are 
registered in the Members Support Center).

If you are still experiencing problems, let me know and I'll see if I 
can help.

Best,
-Don

If it works then your account is functioning and you have some other configuration issue, possibly involving a proxy (that was the issue I ran into).  If it doesn't work, then the curl.log file may have debug info that you did not get with wget.
