How do we add "RedHat Software Collections 1" channel to our Satellite server?

Latest response

Hello all,
We need to make the new(ish) "RedHat Software Collections 1" channel available to our hosts via our RedHat Satellite server.

Normally to add a child channel provided by RedHat to our primary Parent Channel (rhel-x86_64-server-6) we'd simply do a satellite sync. Sadly it appears the RedHat Software Collection 1 child channel isn't available in this way:

satellite-sync -c rhel-x86_64-server-6-rhscl-1

Please let me know how this is being made available for clients behind firewalls/proxies that cannot communicate with any software provider other than the enterprise's own Satellite Server.

Thanks!
