Appendix B. Sample RHN Proxy Server Configuration File
The
/etc/rhn/rhn.conf configuration file for the RHN Proxy Server provides a means for you to establish key settings. Be warned, however, that errors inserted into this file may cause Proxy failures. Make configuration changes with caution.
If you are also using an RHN Satellite Server, you should be particularly concerned with the following parameters: traceback_mail and proxy.rhn_parent. Review the sample and its comments (beginning with a hash mark #), for additional details.
Note
You may add the
use_ssl setting to rhn.conf for testing purposes only. Set its value to 0 to turn off SSL between the Proxy and the upstream server temporarily. Note that this greatly compromises security. Return the setting to its default value of 1 to re-enable SSL, or simply remove the line from the configuration file.
