How to Install this Oracle Solaris 11 Express Support Certificate

   1. Download the provided key and certificate files, called Oracle_Solaris_11_Express_Support.key.pem and Oracle_Solaris_11_Express_Support.certificate.pem using the buttons above. Don't worry if you get logged out, or lose the files. You can come back to this site later and re-download them. We'll assume that you downloaded these files into your Desktop folder, ~/Desktop/.
   2. Use the following comands to make a directory inside of /var/pkg to store the key and certificate, and copy the key and certificate into this directory. The key files are kept by reference, so if the files become inaccessible to the packaging system, you will encounter errors. Here is how to do it:

          $ sudo mkdir -m 0755 -p /var/pkg/ssl
          $ sudo cp -i ~/Desktop/Oracle_Solaris_11_Express_Support.key.pem /var/pkg/ssl

          $ sudo cp -i ~/Desktop/Oracle_Solaris_11_Express_Support.certificate.pem /var/pkg/ssl
        

   3. Add the publisher:

          $ sudo pkg set-publisher \
                     -k /var/pkg/ssl/Oracle_Solaris_11_Express_Support.key.pem \
                     -c /var/pkg/ssl/Oracle_Solaris_11_Express_Support.certificate.pem \
                     -O https://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/support/ solaris
        

   4. Check your publisher settings, there should be no unrelated mirrors set up. To check for any set up mirrors invoke the following command:

          $ pkg publisher solaris | grep Mirror
        
        

      If the output is empty you are all set. If not remove unrelated mirrors by running:

          $ sudo pkg set-publisher -M http://mirror1.x.com -M http://mirror2.y.com ... solaris
        
        

   5. To see the packages supplied by this publisher, try:

          $ pkg list -a 'pkg://solaris/*'

        

      If you use the Package Manager graphical application, you will be able to locate the newly discovered packages when you restart Package Manager.
