SCC credentials are needed even for OpenSUSE only environment

[ramzcode]

Trying to use RMT to sync or use with OpenSUSE Repo, with the SCC Credentials error can't be suppressed or disabled.

Is there a way to disable SCC validation to use with custom repos ?

There are no explicit doc on this but it say it supports custom repo sync

Hi,
The sync functionality in RMT is to allow it to sync with the products/repositiories in SCC. Generally, SCC doesn't support OpenSUSE repositories. Could you please provide more details on what you're trying to achieve here?

Also, you mentioned "it say it supports custom repo sync" - Could you please share your source for this?

If thats the case then what custom repo really means in the docs, i thought we can still use RMT to add custom Repo like openSUSE to sync but then the creds were question since RMT wont allow to sync without setting it up with the password.

The rmt-cli sync command is to sync with products and repositories managed by SCC only. It cannot be used to add custom repositories at the moment.

If you wish to mirror custom repositories, you can use the rmt-cli repos custom add URL NAME command. You can run rmt-cli repos custom help to get more information and options.
Currently, this requires SCC credentials too. We are discussing about allowing this functionality without the need for SCC credentials in the future. But in the meantime, to obtain SCC credentials you can create an SCC account and sign up for a trial subscription. This will create an organisation for you and you can use those credentials to proceed.

@ramzcode could you please provide more details about your workflow?

For me this works without issues (without having SCC credentials configured in the RMT config):

rmt-cli repos custom add http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.5/repo/oss/ leap_15.5
rmt-cli mirror

@digitaltom I am trying to use only OpenSUSE repo sync, for example this will not allow me to sync until i initialize the tool with a SCC credentials.

Could you provide us the sequence of commands you're running, and the error? With the commands from my comment above it is supposed to work.

rmt-cli sync

I believe this is the reason and not really needed if only OpenSUSE is needed and still rmt does not look at it as a mandatory field for mirror operations

rmt-cli mirror
