While there are new urls and the scheme is kind of easy to see, the authentication
method changed.

e.g.
https://updates.suse.com/SUSE/Updates/SLE-SERVER/12/x86_64/update?TOKEN

where TOKEN is a very long hexstring.

The TOKEN is got via queries to
https://scc.suse.com/access/services/1106?credentials=SUSE_Linux_Enterprise_Server_12_x86_64
(not sure what 1106 means) for the server.

On a installed system, the credentials needed to access above (basic-auth) are in:
	/etc/zypp/credentials.d/SUSE_Linux_Enterprise_Server_12_x86_64
this has username (SCC_hexstring) and password (hexstring)

so:
curl -u SCC_hexstring:hexstring https://scc.suse.com/access/services/1106?credentials=SUSE_Linux_Enterprise_Server_12_x86_64

the returned repoindex XML refers to above urls for starters.
<repoindex>
  <repo url="https://updates.suse.com/SUSE/Updates/SLE-SERVER/12/x86_64/update?TOKEN" alias="SLES12-Updates" name="SLES12-Updates" autorefresh="true" enabled="true" distro_target="sle-12-x86_64"/>
  <repo url="https://updates.suse.com/SUSE/Updates/SLE-SERVER/12/x86_64/update_debug?TOKEN" alias="SLES12-Debuginfo-Updates" name="SLES12-Debuginfo-Updates" autorefresh="true" enabled="false" distro_target="sle-12-x86_64"/>
  <repo url="https://updates.suse.com/SUSE/Products/SLE-SERVER/12/x86_64/product?TOKEN" alias="SLES12-Pool" name="SLES12-Pool" autorefresh="false" enabled="true" distro_target="sle-12-x86_64"/>
  <repo url="https://updates.suse.com/SUSE/Products/SLE-SERVER/12/x86_64/product_debug?TOKEN" alias="SLES12-Debuginfo-Pool" name="SLES12-Debuginfo-Pool" autorefresh="false" enabled="false" distro_target="sle-12-x86_64"/>
</repoindex>

Ciao, Marcus
