Registration in YaST shows "Registration status is not available"

This document (7013261) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.

Environment

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP3
SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 SP3
SUSE Linux Enterprise SDK 11 SP3

Situation

After using YaST to register against an SMT server, a popup with the following message appears:

Registration status is not available

Resolution

This message indicates that the registration server (in this case SMT) did not include the registration status in its reply. This does not mean that the registration failed, most likely everything worked fine.

The registration status was added to SMT with the latest updates. Please update your SMT server to the latest patch level and the message will disappear.
