[Hwcert-announce-list] Hosted Red Hat Certification Site for Hardware Certification Management Now Available

[Engineering Partner Management]

Greetings Red Hat Partners,

We are pleased to announce the introduction of the Red Hat
Certification management interface on Red Hat Partner Connect at
https://rhcert.connect.redhat.com for use in Red Hat hardware
certifications. The credentials for this site are the same ones
partners use today when logging in to a local test server (LTS) to
manage certifications.

This hosted Red Hat Certification (rhcert) instance *is* officially
supported and is provided as a convenience for partners to interact
with Red Hat regarding hardware certifications when an LTS is
unavailable.

The experience of using the hosted rhcert interface is equivalent to
the Red Hat Certification Management container or using the LTS in
management mode. It allows hardware certification partners to create
new certifications, update existing certifications, submit results,
and interact with the Red Hat Certification Operations team, but the
interface is not capable of registering systems under test (SUTs) or
running tests. As such, partners will need to continue to conduct
tests at their own facilities.

We value your ongoing participation in Red Hat Hardware certification,
software development, and testing efforts. Thank you for your
continued partnership. If you have any questions or comments, please
do not hesitate to contact Ecosystem Partner Management.


Regards,
The Red Hat Certification Team
