Peer to Peer CIQ Depot Servers
To set up CIQ Bridge on any number of hosts, you will need to contact CIQ Support and obtain a token for every user that will have access to register systems in CIQ’s Repository “Depot” platform.
Bridge Setup Quickstart
With the token you obtained from CIQ’s support or sales teams, you can setup Bridge in 4 steps on a given CentOS 7 x86_64 system:
1.
$ sudo yum install -y https://depot.ciq.com/public/files/depot-client/depot/depot.x86_64.rpm
[lots of output]
2.
$ sudo depot register -u [USER STRING] -t [USER TOKEN]
Registered.
3.
$ sudo depot dnf

Logging into Depot’s Web Interface
CIQ has a basic web interface for you to quickly see what products you have access to, what products are available, and other information about your hosts and subscriptions.
Here you will find public repositories and a private/admin interface. The admin interface is available only to people who have the applicable tokens. Logging into the private area requires Basic HTTP authentication using your [USER STRING] as the “username” and the [USER TOKEN] as the “password”.
