Chapter 5. Configuring Satellite Proxy to Use CNAME Records

One of the features of Red Hat Satellite Proxy is the ability to take advantage of CNAME records, or aliases, instead of the canonical host name. This feature is useful if there are network issues that prevent communication with Red Hat Satellite Proxy using its normal host name or configuration.

5.1. Prerequisites

To use CNAME records with your Red Hat Satellite Proxy Server installation, you need to:
  • Ensure that the required CNAME records have been configured for the server.
  • Add the CNAME records to the Satellite Proxy server configuration.
  • Create a new multi-host certificate and install it on the Satellite Proxy.
