This is implemented since SLE11 SP<I do not known>.
  <suse_register>
    <do_registration config:type="boolean">true</do_registration>
    <reg_server></reg_server>
    <reg_server_cert></reg_server_cert>
    <register_regularly config:type="boolean">false</register_regularly>
    <registration_data>
      <email></email>
      <regcode-sles></regcode-sles>
    </registration_data>
    <submit_hwdata config:type="boolean">true</submit_hwdata>
    <submit_optional config:type="boolean">false</submit_optional>
  </suse_register>
This works with a SMT-server too.
