Hi,

I've been an occasional user to this site over the years whereby I download/install open source USS tools for our z/OS systems. It's probably a couple of years since last time, so I am now trying to get going with the new Microconda method of download/install.  I'm having trouble configuring access to the Rocket conda server:-

Configure to use Rocket's secure conda server? [Y/n] Y
Authenticating to Rocket's secure conda server...
Username: maltbyga@ie.ibm.com
Password:
[LOGIN] Error logging in...
[ERROR] Invalid Username password combination, please try again

Do I need some kind of access enabled?  I'd changed my password today (forgotten) , so perhaps I need time for this to activate?

Many thanks,
Gary Maltby

    Hi Gary,
    Yes, access to Rocket's secure conda server is available only for customers with support contract. You should answer "n" for the question "Configure to use Rocket's secure conda server?" and then install packages from our public channel: https://anaconda.org/zoss-appdev
    The public channel is controlled and curated by Rocket to only contain ports tested to work with z/OS. However, there is a six month delay on updates of new versions and CVE fixes between the public channel and the secure private channel.
    For more details, please, check Miniconda documentation on community portal.
