SUSEConnect

Use this role to connect a SUSE Linux system to the SUSE Customer Center or a local SMT server. You can also specify which add-on products are to be registered.

Requirements

You'll need the registration key that came with your SUSE subscription. For some products you'll need extra registration keys. You'll also need to know the internal product name of the product you're trying to register. I'll try to provide a full list in PRODUCTS.md.

Role Variables

You can set the following variables:

Variable	Type	Description
suseconnect_products:	list	products that should be activated on the target system
- product:	string	internal product name, see PRODUCTS.md for a list
version:	string	product version that should be activated, defaults to the major version of the base os
arch:	string	architecture of the product to be actived, defaults to the arch of the OS (ansible_machine)
key:	string	if the product needs an additional registration key
suseconnect_reregister:	bool	register all products regardless of current status
suseconnect_remove_subscriptions:	bool	remove currently registered products, absent in suseconnect_products

This variable is used, but should not be set by the user:

Variable	Type	Description
suseconnect_binary:	string	path of the SUSEConnect binary

Dependencies

None.
