I could ask for access I assume it's just a mail but I don't want to bother them because I can find a solution one or two results down from the redhat site anyway. I've worked with Linux and without a support contract for long enough that I know how debug and fix things. I wouldn't get direct access to support cases anyway. Our Linux guys provide a bash script to auto enroll.

It's not a login. It's a login with an active subscription. Are those article that valuable that they can't provide it for everyone with a @company.com address that has >n licences?

Fair, I forgot they changed it to require an active sub rather than just an account. That was a bad move IMHO. And yes I fully agree they should at a minimun automatically allow access to everyone with @company.com with >n licenses.

Pure speculation, but I'm guessing they view the knowledge base as part of "support" (or like level 1 or something), which is why they're so restrictive. I think they greatly underestimate the number of people like us though that already use RHEL but don't want to bother with accounts because we can get by without it, but would benefit from having the access. They don't seem to understand the friction their policies create, and I think that's deeply unfortunate.

(I’m a red hatter) anyone can get the Red Hat Developer subscription for free and get full access to the knowledge base.

Thanks. Maybe I'll do it the next time. That seems like less friction than having to write our representative / admim however you call the people that could add me to our subscription. But why do you put it behind that if it's free anyway?

[freedomben]

Thank you for the clarification! That's what I thought, but then I found a bunch of comments indicating they had changed it. Glad to hear it's still free
