Description Dave Sullivan 2014-07-07 14:58:06 UTC
Description of problem:



Would like to know how to properly ocnfigurate Satellite 6 where a proxy server sits between it and the Internet?

Also please list all Satellite 6 components that communication directly to the internet?



Use katello-installer with appropriate proxy flags

# katello-installer --help | grep proxy
[..snip..]
--katello-proxy-password Proxy password for authentication (default: nil)
--katello-proxy-port Port the proxy is running on (default: nil)
--katello-proxy-url URL of the proxy server (default: nil)
--katello-proxy-username Proxy username for authentication (default: nil)

Note, make sure proxy-url is in the following format

    http://myproxy.acme.com/

There's currently a bug on the url format handling.

katello-configure --proxy-url accepts invalid input
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1033011

Workaround is to:

1.  Edit /etc/pulp/server/plugins.conf/yum_importer.json  directly

or

2. Re-run katello-installer setting using proxy flags noted above

After completing #1 or #2 restart the katello-service for the change to take place.
