------------------------------------
[~rpdavis] - My comments in the original ticket were from 2016. Back then there was an
extra step needed because T&Cs weren't being automatically handled. I think
things have changed that new account registrations will automatically flow through the
T&C acceptance pages.
Old accounts (over a year old) may not have agreed to the T&Cs or those acceptances
may have expired. I noticed this within the last few months, but I wasn't
specifically testing the process, I was just trying to run CDK/minishift. From what I
recall the CDK download didn't run me through the T&C process for my existing
account.
Note: The bit that is special about the CDK is the RHEL VM inside, when you start
CDK/minishift, it needs to be able to register the RHEL VM with RHCP in order to download
software. The registration process is being handled inside CDK/minishift so the user
isn't running a browser to be able to just accept the T&Cs at that time.
installer credentials misleading/incomplete information.

Key: JBDS-3871
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3871
Project: Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio (devstudio)
Issue Type: Bug
Components: platform-installer
Affects Versions: 9.1.0.Beta1
Environment: Win 7/64 bit
Reporter: Robert Terzi
Assignee: Denis Golovin
Priority: Minor
Labels: ui
Fix For: 11.3.0.GA
Attachments: screenshot-1.png
There are several problems a with the information on the platform installer's login
screen:
# "Your
developers.redhat.com credentials" is misleading, Should probably be
"Your Red Hat username" to be consistent with RHDeveloper registration process.
# The register link points to the login page, not the register page.
# Registering on RHDevelopers isn't sufficient. (A registered user gets "
Terms and Conditions for CDK have not been signed."
# There should probably be a link to a page on RHDev with more info/FAQ about
credentials, the registration process, and obtaining a (no-cost) subscription.
The platform installer description of the credentials to use are misleading. Currently
it says " Try it now by providing your
developers.redhat.com credentials to get
access."
Users can log into RHDevelopers via other accounts (github, linkedin, stack overflow,
etc. using OAUTH). They can not log into
access.redhat.com (the customer portal) or other
Red Hat sites with their
developer.redhat.com "credentials".
During registration on RHDevelopers, a simple developers account is created. (Note: At
this point, a Red Hat username hasn't been created yet.
Currently, when the user clicks a download link that goes through RHDev download manager,
their account is "upgraded", which creates a Red Hat user than can be used to
log into RHCP. Terms & conditions are presented. A no-cost RHEL Developer suite
subscription is added to the user's Red Hat account.
Their Red Hat username and password which could be different from the RHDeveloper
credentials. They will need their Red Hat username for the CDK box to attach to their
subscription. Without it the CDK box won't start up correctly as it can't
download software.
Some of this is covered for external users in the No-cost RHEL Dev. Suite FAQ.
http://developers.redhat.com/articles/no-cost-rhel-faq/ We might need to do a version
of that for CDK and JBDS platform installer..
