I have an account on access.redhat.com and hence downloaded RHEL 7.8 under Developer Edition. But after installing it on laptop, when I try to register the product it throws the following error:

HTTP error (401) unauthorized

BTW, my account details are correctly entered. Has anyone got RHEL 7.8 registered under its Developer Subscription model which is free of cost.

  • Does the system name have a role here? I had left `localhost.localdomain` in the subscription manager text box meant for entering system name. – peakit Sep 16 '20 at 19:48
  • Yes, registering systems works. Exactly what did you try to do? – Michael Hampton Sep 16 '20 at 22:39
  • Downloaded ISO, trying to install using VirtualBox, connected the newly installed VMs running RHEL7.8 to internet but it keeps throwing unable to subscribe. My account details are valid and the system name and the subscription host of redhat to connect to is left as default. – peakit Sep 17 '20 at 19:06
  • Are you connected directly to the Internet? You don't have to go through a proxy server? – Michael Hampton Sep 17 '20 at 19:07

I had this issue before, it end up being my dns server was not accepting requests so address was wrong.
