Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

We get lots of trouble reports of users who forget to pass in the --proxy options during the katello-configure step.

This causes issues later on when they attempt to upload Subscription Manifests and sync content.

Since this is so common we should add a note or section to:

2.3. Configuring Red Hat Satellite

to mention these options:

     --proxy-url=PROXY_URL
      --proxy-port=PROXY_PORT
      --proxy-user=PROXY_USER
           HTTP Proxy user (proxy username, if auth is required)
      --proxy-pass=PROXY_PASS
           HTTP Proxy pass (proxy password, if auth is required)

Definitely still relevant but I now realized we are lacking Proxy options!!

# katello-installer --help |grep proxy
    --capsule-foreman-proxy-port  Port on which will foreman proxy listen (default: 9090)
    --capsule-register-in-foreman  Register proxy back in Foreman (default: true)

we need to update our installer to include these options.

*** Bug 1116911 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Hi Eric,

From http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/6530:
Can I confirm if this has been fixed and it should now allow just proxy options url and port without the username and password needed?

This was delivered with Satellite 6.0 which was released on 10 September 2014.
