My login password combo fails on the GUI but if I use the same uid/pwd on the link 'Red Hat Customer Portal' it logs in fine. ---- RESOLVED - proxy settings issue on the Redhat box

Can I ask how did you fix proxy settings issue? I tried to set http_proxy, https_proxy, but redhat-access-gui is not accepting both of these env variables.

So the problem is, I cannot find any method to set a proxy for redhat-access-gui to use.

After testing, redhat-access-gui does not accept "http_proxy" or "https_proxy", so I cannot set a proxy for redhat-access-gui to use at the moment. Is there any way to set proxy for redhat-access-gui?

Doesn't respect proxy settings

Go to your account. click on the user management. use the user that is configure there. login to portal is usually you email but the user managment will give you the user use this user to for your subscription manager and red hat access gui BTW what is use of the Red Hat Access GUI.
