Appendix A. Sample Satellite Proxy Server Configuration File
The
/etc/rhn/rhn.conf configuration file for the Satellite Proxy provides a means for administrators to establish key settings. Take care when making any changes, however, because any configuration errors in this file may cause Satellite Proxy failures.
If you are also using a Red Hat Satellite server, pay close attention to the
traceback_mail and proxy.rhn_parent parameters. Review the sample and its comments (comments are identified by a hash mark (#) in column 1), for additional details.
Important
You can add the
use_ssl option to rhn.conf for testing purposes. Set its value to 0 to turn off SSL between the Satellite Proxy and the upstream server. Be aware that this greatly compromises security. Reset this option to its default value of 1 to re-enable SSL, or remove the line from the configuration file.
