Description Chris Roberts 2015-01-09 15:42:26 UTC 
Description of problem:

When I attempt to use a "\" character in the option --proxy-username for katello-installer, it is not recognizing the "\" correctly.

I am required to to use a proxy server to access the internet.  The username resides in Active Directory.  I have confirmed that the username and password allow me to access the internet via YUM and successfully accesses the Redhat repos.  The username follows the windows convention of "domain\username".  

My katello-installer command is as follows.

katello-installer --katello-proxy-url=http://proxy.url/ --katello-proxy-port="port" --katello-proxy-username="domain\username" --katello-proxy-password="password"

The above command completes successfully but I see "407, authentication required" errors in the log files.

When I execute a katello-installer --help, the value for the proxy-username option shows this:
   --katello-proxy-username      Proxy username for authentication (default: "domain\\username")

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


Additional info:

When trying to use the @ it gives a 407 error. RHSM proxy works with the \ symbol

Customer is using this proxy info:

The authentication is via Active Directory through the Cisco Context Directory Agent.
