Comment 1 Panu Matilainen 2012-07-30 07:36:19 UTC 
Rpm itself doesn't talk to proxies, it just calls an external helper (curl by default) for any remote files according to configuration. So if curl works with NTLM proxies with some extra switches, it's just a matter of telling rpm's configuration about those switches, for example:

# echo "%__urlhelper_localopts --proxy-ntlm" > /etc/rpm/macros.proxy

That will cause rpm to add --proxy-ntlm to the options curl gets called with. Adjust as necessary.
