Red Hat has changed its authentication mechanism and now authenticates users from http://sso.redhat.com instead of from https://idp.redhat.com/idp/.
The BigFix Patches for RHEL download plug-in and the download cacher are down. The custom repository feature can be used to deploy patches. For more information, see http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS6MER_9.5.0/com.ibm.bigfix.patch.doc/Patch/Patch_RH/c_manage_custom_repositories.html.
All the Patches for RHEL sites are affected by the authentication update.
- Patches for RHEL 5
- Patches for RHEL 6
- Patches for RHEL 7
- RHEL 6 System Z
The BigFix team is putting all efforts to fixing the issue within 5 working days. We shall post developments as
soon as they are available.
