RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Hi,
I come a cross the same problem on RHEL6.1.
yum-rhn-plugin-0.9.1-26.el6_1.1.noarch
I have set two testing HTTP Proxy Squid configurations with Authentication:
NCSA Authentication
PAM Authentication
I have tested with those User names and Passwords.
PROXY_USER="proxy_user_${RANDOM}"
PROXY_PASS='proxy_password'
NCSA PASS
PAM PASS
PROXY_USER="proxy_user_${RANDOM}"
PROXY_PASS='#proxypassword'
NCSA - FAIL
PAM - FAIL
PROXY_USER="proxy_user_${RANDOM}"
PROXY_PASS='proxy#password'
NCSA - FAIL
PAM - FAIL
I have just noticed one weird scenario:
1. Register to rhn.errata.stage.redhat.com
2. Sqiud Configuration /etc/squid/squid.conf -- See attachment
3. Restart Squid: service squid restart
4. Configure yum - /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date
enableProxy=1
httpProxy=localhost:3128
enableProxyAuth=1
htpasswd -cb /etc/squid/passwd proxy_1 'ddddddd#'
yum remove zsh -y
sed -i.bak 's|^\(proxyPassword=\).*|\1ddddddd#|;s|^\(proxyUser=\).*|\1proxy_1|'
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date;
diff /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date{.bak,}
yum install zsh -y
FAIL
---
htpasswd -cb /etc/squid/passwd proxy_2 'dddddddd#'
yum remove zsh -y
sed -i.bak
's|^\(proxyPassword=\).*|\1dddddddd#|;s|^\(proxyUser=\).*|\1proxy_2|'
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date;
diff /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date{.bak,}
yum install zsh -y
PASS
It seems it is somehow depends on the Password length.
If the password length is more than 8 it passes.
I think the problem could be in "htpasswd".
