Description David Ash 2006-09-18 11:12:34 UTC

Description of problem:
Setting proxy settings in rhn_register (which updates /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date
with proxy settings), is not copied accross to /etc/yum.conf.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run rhn_register and set proxy settings
2. Look in yum.conf and proxy settings are not set
3.
  
Actual results:


Expected results:
My expectation is that yum.conf should be modified to reflect proxy settings in
rhn_register process.

So how yum + rhn works with proxies now (after modifiing for this bug) is at run
time we read the up2date config file, and if there is a proxy configured, then
we will use that for RHN yum repos, and only the RHN repos.

Comment 6 Roman Lazarev 2006-10-19 14:03:08 UTC

This blocker corresponds to release criteria 19c5: yum connects through
authenticated/unauthenticated http proxy from client to RHN

Comment 9 James Bowes 2006-10-24 20:58:49 UTC

This should be fixed as of yum-rhn-plugin-0.1.9-3

Comment 10 Beth Nackashi 2006-10-31 19:02:40 UTC

*yum from client through RHN proxy through http proxy to RHN works
*yum from client through http proxy to RHN works

The proxy settings from /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date are used; no proxy settings
are in /etc/yum.conf.

Comment 11 Jay Turner 2006-11-13 15:22:45 UTC

Closing as the fixes are included in the latest RHEL5 trees (20061111.0)
