Associating a Key and Certificate With a Repository

This section provides information on how to associate a key and certificate with a repository. For the OpenSolaris 2009.06 release, the following repositories require a key and certificate for access:

pkg.sun.com/opensolaris/support
pkg.sun.com/opensolaris/extra

How to Associate a Key and Certificate With the `pkg.sun.com/opensolaris/support` Repository

Before You Begin

Ensure you have downloaded the key and certificate on to your system. See Obtaining Keys and Certificates for instructions.

Associate the pkg.sun.com/opensolaris/support which is a core repository, with the preferred publisher, opensolaris.org, and associate the key and certificate with the pkg.sun.com/opensolaris/support repository.
Note - The \ in the command below is a line-continuation character and should not be entered when executing the command.
```
$ pfexec pkg set-publisher -P -O pkg.sun.com/opensolaris/support\
 -k key_file_path/key_file -c cert_file_path/cert_file opensolaris.org
```

Example 7-2 Associate a Key, Certificate, and Publisher With `pkg.sun.com/opensolaris/support`

In this example, the key and certificate files are located in the /var/pkg/ssl/ directory. The repository is associated with the existing preferred publisher, opensolaris.org.

$ pfexec pkg set-publisher -P -O pkg.sun.com/opensolaris/support\
-k /var/pkg/ssl/OpenSolaris_extras.key.pem 
-c /var/pkg/ssl/OpenSolaris_extras.certificate.pem opensolaris.org

Next Steps

If you want to retrieve updated catalogs for the new repositories, use the pkg refresh command.
If you want to install additional packages, use the pkg install command. See How to Install or Update a Package.
If you want to update an image, use the pkg image-update command. See How to Update an Image (Update All Installed Packages).

How to Associate a Key and Certificate With the `pkg.sun.com/opensolaris/extra` Repository

Before You Begin

Ensure you have downloaded the key and certificate on to your system. See Obtaining Keys and Certificates for instructions.

Add a publisher, associate the pkg.sun.com/opensolaris/extra repository with a new publisher, and associate a key and certificate with the pkg.sun.com/opensolaris/extra repository.
pkg.sun.com/opensolaris/extra is a supplemental repository and does not need to be associated with a preferred repository.

Note - The \ in the command below is a line-continuation character and should not be entered when executing the command.
```
$ pfexec pkg set-publisher -O repository \
-k key_file_path/key_file -c cert_file_path/cert_file new_publisher
```

Example 7-3 Associate a Key, Certificate, and Publisher With `pkg.sun.com/opensolaris/extra`

In this example, the key and certificate files are located in the /var/pkg/ssl/ directory. The repository is associated with the new publisher, extra.

$ pfexec pkg set-publisher -O https://pkg.sun.com/opensolaris/extra \
-k /var/pkg/ssl/OpenSolaris_extras.key.pem -c /var/pkg/ssl/OpenSolaris_extras.certificate.pem extra
