The option to register using a proxy server has been removed along with the removal of Red Hat network (RHN) registration support from the firstboot tool in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.0 Beta. As a consequence, if the proxy settings is required during registration using the Subscription Manager utility, the installation cannot finish successfully. To work around this problem, skip the registration procedure in Subscription Manager during the firstboot stage and open the Subscription Manager GUI, which allows you to set the proxy server followed by registration using the Red Hat Subscription Manager (RHSM).

firstboot rhel7 no proxy option
Description of problem:
RHEL 7 First boot has no option to register with proxy

subscription-manager: 1.10.4-1.el7
python-rhsm: 1.10.3-1.el7
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:

2. click Next
Actual results:
See attachment
Expected results:
There should be an option to register with proxy
Additional info:
Looks like the logic for deciding when to show the proxy info isn't quite right.
For 9ebbf0b4b2aaf8cfc3c5f416d2c6640566a8e253 (, 1.10.4) we only show our proxy config infomation if the system doesn't have any rhn config (ie, no rhn-client-tools installed).
That's not really correct, since you could have that installed, even if it's not actually needed by us or firstboot anymore. Code needs to figure out there are no rhn modules in firstboot (as on rhel7) and show the proxy config, and for rhel6, where there are rhn modules, to use the proxy info from the rhn screens.

1020539: Show proxy info if no RHN in firstboot
Previously, we used the http proxy info collected
in the RHN firstboot screens. If we are standalone
without those modules, show our proxy screen instead.
