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 Admin → Red Hat Network Satellite Configuration → General. 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.
