Document URL: 

https://dxp-docp-prod.apps.ext-waf.spoke.prod.us-west-2.aws.paas.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.13/html-single/provisioning_hosts/index?lb_target=preview#Configuring_iPXE_to_Reduce_Provisioning_Times

Chapter 5. Configuring iPXE to Reduce Provisioning Times



Section Number and Name: 

End of "5.1. Booting Virtual Machines" and "5.2. Chainbooting iPXE from PXELinux"


Describe the issue: 

We have a note that says:

~~
Note
Ensure that --foreman-trusted-proxies is configured correctly on the Satellite Server.
~~


Suggestions for improvement: 

We need to be clear about what to verify here i.e. 

* The purpose of that installer option

* How that should be configured ( in case of the deployment is being done via satellite or an external smart-proxy\capsule )


Some discussions about it can be found at https://github.com/theforeman/foreman-documentation/pull/1613#discussion_r1030466167 

Please verify with foreman\Sat Eng team what exactly we need to do about that installer option in terms of iPXE  

Additional information: 

We mention something about that option in "11.8. Using VMware Cloud-init and Userdata Templates for Provisioning" under the "Configuring Capsule to Forward the user data Template" part.

And the exact same changes are required for 6.12 docs as well.
