Description of problem: For each of the subscription-manager modules that use --proxy as an option, the --help looks something like this: # subscription-manager register --help | grep proxy --proxy=PROXY_URL http proxy url --proxyuser=PROXY_USER user for http proxy with basic authentication --proxypassword=PROXY_PASSWORD password for http proxy with basic authentication Notice the "--proxy=PROXY_URL http proxy url". This implies to me that one needs to set a value prefixed with "http://", but that is not true. Instead, let's change the help message to something like this: --proxy=PROXY_HOSTNAME:PROXY_PORT http proxy url This will better match the parameters set in the /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf file Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): # rpm -qa | grep subscription-manager subscription-manager-gnome-0.93.3-1.git.34.af3969f.fc14.x86_64 subscription-manager-0.93.3-1.git.34.af3969f.fc14.x86_64
