Fix pkg update error in Solaris 11.4:

When updating Solaris 11.4 from "pkg update". It does not find any updates/packages and provides this error:


Unable to contact valid package repository: https://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/support/
Encountered the following error(s):
Framework error: code: E_SSL_CONNECT_ERROR (35) reason: error:14094410:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:sslv3 alert handshake failure
URL: 'https://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/support'

This is due to a URL your are forbidden form for oracle paid members only. To switch to the public repository:

sudo pkg set-publisher -G'*' -g http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/ solaris

You showed now be able to update / install packages.
