How can I access Red Hat Network via an HTTP proxy?

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, 4 , 5 and 6 all use the rhn_register command when registering the machine with RHN or RHN Satellite.

1) Open /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date for editing

2) Change the following:

   enableProxy=0

   To the following:

   enableProxy=1


3) If proxy authentication is required, set enableProxyAuth to 1:

   enableProxyAuth=1

4) Enter the user's password (if required) for the http proxy where it states the following:

   proxyPassword=

5) Enter the user's username (if required) for the http proxy where it states the following:

   proxyUser=

6) Enter the URL for the proxy server, in host:port format, in the following line:

   httpProxy=

7) Save the file.
