Document URL: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.6/html-single/installing_satellite_server_from_a_connected_network/index Section Number and Name: 3.4. Configuring Satellite Server with an HTTP Proxy Describe the issue: In satellite 6.7 we are dropping the ability to set the global content syncing proxy via the installer. Suggestions for improvement: Suggest using hammer to create the proxy and set it to the global proxy after the installer runs: hammer http-proxy create --name=myproxy --url http://myproxy:8080 --username=proxy_user --password=proxy_password hammer settings set --name=content_default_http_proxy --value=myproxy
note i pointed to the 6.6 docs, but the change needs to occur for 6.7

Sergei, happy to talk to you as soon as possible. Let's figure out a good time to discuss, if you want. Or I can just reply here with my comments.
Hi James, I see you have a busy schedule today. Please reply in a bug for now. Thank you
Hi James, Please review this PR where I updated docs with new steps for configuring HTTP proxy: https://github.com/theforeman/foreman-documentation/pull/141 Did you find something out regarding the reset options? Thank you
Sergei, The reason there was a special way to 'reset' was because it was hard to do that with the installer. Now that its not based on the installer, you can simply unset the global setting to remove the global default, or delete the HTTP Proxy within the 'Infrastructure > HTTP Proxies' section.
One thing to add to the docs is the per-repository setting: https://imgur.com/F7zBOoH.png This allows more fine grain control, to set a repository to use the global proxy, override it to use no proxy at all, or override it to use a specific proxy.
Hi Justin, thank you for the reply, I have updated the PR with the commit that fixed the instructions to reset the HTTP proxy setting, As for the per-repository settings, they are covered in 5.11. Changing the HTTP Proxy Policy for a Repository: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.7-beta/html-single/content_management_guide/index?lb_target=production#Changing_the_HTTP_Proxy_Policy_for_a_Repository Thank you
This looks correct to me. Thanks!
The changes are live upstream and are live on the 6.7 branch to be published with the Satellite 6.7 GA release.
