4.4. Post-Installation
The following sections outline configuration considerations after installation.
4.4.1. Installing Behind a HTTP Proxy: Post-Configuration
Once the installation is complete, modify your settings in the
/etc/rhn/rhn.conf file:
server.satellite.http_proxy = <http-proxy-fqdn> server.satellite.http_proxy_username = <proxy-username> server.satellite.http_proxy_password = <proxy-password> disconnected=0
You will also need to update the
/etc/rhn/rhn.conf file to include the parent parameter satellite.rhn.redhat.com:
server.satellite.rhn_parent = satellite.rhn.redhat.com
Note
Alternatively, if you are using the Red Hat Network Satellite web interface, log in as a user with
Administrator privileges. Browse to → → . From here, enter the HTTP Proxy settings, and toggle the Disconnected Red Hat Network Satellite option.
Restart the Satellite service:
service rhn-satellite restart
Reactivate the Satellite as a connected Satellite:
rhn-satellite-activate --rhn-cert=<path-to-cert>
You should now have a connected Red Hat Network Satellite that will work behind an HTTP proxy.
