Robert Terzi commented on JBDS-3871:
------------------------------------

[~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.

> 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..
