[not being pedantic but: send/log username/password as base64 coded??,
just a quick google gives some new accounts -)]

manual patch download working (green lock is always shown): mostly, 
sometimes I get also "not entitled" message but after checking "Update 
Account" everything is ok.
Current Contracts are marked as valid,
Patch Entitlements:  "Solaris10SoftwareUpdates ContractRequired 
SolarisSoftwareUpdates Public", Step 5: your are already been registered.

basket download also not working.
