Description of problem: When a proxy is configured using the virt-who config plugin the proxy is incorrectly Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create virt-who config using plugin and specify proxy Actual results: The resulting script will set an 'http_proxy' environment variable in /etc/sysconfig/virt-who Expected results: The configuration file should be populated with these fields: rhsm_proxy_hostname rhsm_proxy_port rhsm_proxy_user rhsm_proxy_password or more likely rhsm_encrypted_proxy_password The environment variable NO_PROXY is also used to ignore hosts. Additional info: We will also probably need to add fields to the UI, or do something like parsing of the 'proxy' URL scheme.
Ignore my comment about the proxy:// URL scheme, there is no standard way to parse this. So we will have to either add fields or do something else here.
Perry, this is not a bug. http_proxy global parameter can be used if you need to proxy the communication, if you need to do it selectively, use Ignore Proxy option. If you want to change the rhsm_hostname you should just change the satellite url but that's not a proxy. How would the proxy know where is the Satellite that it should proxy the communication to? Anyway this is consistent with the lab script. Please see inline help of fields if it's still confusing or ask Suresh, who was involved in the testing from the beginning. If you think there should be proxy configurable per hypervisor, please raise RFE for virt-who project.
Chris, does this sound right to you?
That does sound right to me Perry. Let's ask Will to be sure. Will does comment 3 sound right to you?
Yes
