RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-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.
Description of problem:
A RHEL-7 system registered to Red Hat Satellite won't be able
to communicate with it parent over a Squid proxy.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-rhn-plugin-2.0.1-4.el7
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. RHEL-7 system, registered to Red Hat satellite 5.6 (or later)
2. Configure /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date to use a squid proxy
(enableProxy, httpProxy options)
3. Configure iptables so that the parent is not directly accessible,
only the Squid proxy is.
3. yum clean all && yum makecache
Actual results:
# yum clean all
Loaded plugins: langpacks, rhnplugin
Cleaning repos: test-channel-01
Cleaning up everything
# yum makecache
Loaded plugins: langpacks, rhnplugin
This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or Red Hat Satellite.
The process freezes here ^^
lsof reveals, that yum is trying to connect to the parent Satellite, rather
than the configured Squid proxy.
# lsof -p 9213|grep TCP
yum 9213 root 11u IPv4 90353 0t0 TCP xen86.englab.brq.redhat.com:37308->xen58.englab.brq.redhat.com:https (SYN_SENT)
Expected results:
yum operations over proxy works.
Additional info:
XML-RPC requests (for example when yum-rhn-plugin wants to get the list of channels)
works correctly. The problem is when we're setting up URLGrabber objects
for proxy communication (i.e. the actual metadata and package retrieval
operations won't work).
