no, I don't know how to do this. But have you ever run up2date
graphically by clicking your little update status thingy on the bottom
right of your screen? I did that shortly after installing RH to get any
security updates, etc, and it did walk me through the cerificate/ signup
process. You might try that (if you haven't already) and see if once you
have that working whether the command line version works. Sadly I don't
see a way to select that particular package (qt-MySQL) graphically,
which is why the instructions are command line only.
If you never get that working (which would suck) this will work:

those are the old instructions in the docs which I replace with the
up2date method because it is fast and easier.
best of luck
