Sun Conn Update Manager problems on Solaris 8

Hi all,

Trying to get the Sun Conn Update Manager v1.0.10 app to run on a E220
box running Solaris 8. It's blowing up when I click the "Send
registration info to Sun" box and click OK. The GUI error I get
states: "Exception in web service communication"

The basicreg[...].log file in /tmp has the following in it:

=============

So, I thought I'd try to do it from the CLI... Following instructions
detailed in http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-9-82688-1
--

=============
bash-2.03# uname -a
SunOS server1 5.8 Generic_108528-29 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60

bash-2.03# cat /tmp/registrationprofile.properties
userName=username
password=big_secret
hostName=
subscriptionKey=
portalEnabled=false
proxyHostName=
proxyPort=
proxyUserName=
proxyPassword=

bash-2.03# /usr/sbin/sconadm register -a -r /tmp/
registrationprofile.properties
sconadm is running
The properties name HOSTNAME is incorrect
The properties name PORTALENABLED is incorrect
=============

What can I do to get this system registered so I can obtain patches
for it?

Thanks,
Will
