It is not yet. I had that problem a couple of days ago as well. It is an issue at RH's end. I suggest rebooting or rescheduling if this happens again.

RH has apparently an issue with some login services. Some candidates were however able to get to the exam by rebooting several times. The exam may start up to 30 minutes later. So keep trying or raise the ticket and ask for reschedule because of the tech issues at https://rhtapps.redhat.com/comments

I have used Fedora Media writer to copy the iso. But when I attached it back to my RHEL computer it kept asking for authentication. 

I contacted help and they asked me to use my personal computer since the company machine might be the problem. I then used my personal windows machine and at the boot menu when I selected my USB with ISO, it complained that the image is not authenticated. What I need to do? What I am missing?

[Rilindo]

Can you post what it looks like when you boot from your personal Windows machine? So far, the screen show appears to you trying to connect to the volume from a Linux desktop, which I doubt you are allowed to do, company machine or not.

Hi,

The iso file prompts for password when you try to open it. You need not open the file. Try to insert the USB drive to your laptop and select boot option to proceed further. Likely, Error image is not authenticated" is related to secure boot compliance in your system.

The latest Remote Exam ISO is not secure boot compliant and may not work on systems that have the Secure Boot setting "enabled".You can try another system (if available) and see if it boots from the ISO.

[HammadS]

When I try to boot from the iso, my boot menu does not even give me an
option to boot from the iso. I can only boot from the hard drive. That is
because the iso on my USB never gets mounted because of that fricking
authentication issue.

You should NOT put the ISO file on the USB. 

You need to use the ISO file as input to do a byte-by-byte write to the USB drive, for example using dd  (on Linux or MacOS) or Rufus (on Windows).

The ISO is not a file which you should put on the USB drive. The ISO file is the USB drive. ... so to speak.
