Hi All,
I’m totally new to SUSE and novice to Linux. I’ve been recently asked to test deployment of RMT server on SLES15 (to see how non-Linux******** persons deal with instructions they gave 
). When it comes to repo mirror (rmt-cli mirror), it looks like it is synchronizing something but finally it fails with following msgs:

Some information about the system:
NAME=“SLES”
VERSION=“15-SP1”
VERSION_ID=“15.1”
PRETTY_NAME=“SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP1”
ID=“sles”
ID_LIKE=“suse”
ANSI_COLOR=“0;32”
CPE_NAME=“cpe:/o:suse:sles:15:sp1”
I’m using trial SUSE account (so no support) and under customer center I can see my RMT server connected as proxy.
I have also 2 client VMs connected to my RMT and “rmt-cli systems list” shows them but there are no products in the last column.
It looks for some authentication error (http403) but I don’t know what can be wrong. Maybe it cached some old credentials and it needs to be erased?
I tried wget to one of the URLs:
suse15repo:/home/ec2-user # wget https://updates.suse.com/SUSE/Products/SLE-Product-SLES/15-SP1/x86_64/product/repodata/repomd.xml

Does it mean trial version account can’t download everything?
Checking repo directory, there is almost 200GB of data downloaded…
suse15repo:/home/ec2-user # df -h /var/lib/rmt/public/repo
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
127.0.0.1:/ 8.0E 187G 8.0E 1% /var/lib/rmt/public/repo
Could someone help me to troubleshoot this issue?
Let me know if you need any additional output, let me know the command and I’ll come back with information.
