Earlier, before I register at this forum I was confused because I was redirected at NOVELL site. But, in spite of that redirection I still pursue my registration. My question is why I should redirected at NOVELL site in registering? Why not registered directly on OpenSUSE?
It’s historically complicated.
But this is normal as login is handled by Novell Access Manager

Novell provides the system that hosts the authentication data. Novell,
SUSE, NetIQ, and Attachmate are all one company and for the Novell/SUSE
portion of the company, an authentication store is shared between the two.

No, they don’t “suck”, they use a common authentication store, as I
explained.

Many organisations around the world use Novell Access Manager - openSUSE just happens to be another one.
