Chapter 3. Registering Hosts to Satellite

Describe the issue: 

Request for Enhancement: Adding Instructions for Configuring Proxy Settings in rhsm.conf for Registering Clients with Satellite or Capsule via Proxy Connection



Suggestions for improvement: 

Numerous customers implement proxy or firewall in their environments, but often lack the knowledge to configure proxy settings in rhsm.conf. By providing this information, it can help customers quickly identify and resolve any related issues.


Additional information: 

Additionally, if feasible, we could include a link to verify if the firewall ports between the client and satellite or capsule are open
