The most common options configured are
enableProxy
and
httpProxy
to enable a proxy
server. To enable a proxy server, change the value for
enableProxy
to
Yes
and the value of
httpProxy
to the name of the proxy server and port number in the format HOST:PORT. For
example, to use the proxy server squid.mysite.org on port 3128, you would change the value to
squid.mysite.org:3128
.
If you require a proxy username and password, set
enableProxyAuth
to
Yes
to enable
username/password authentication for the proxy, and set
proxyUser
and
proxyPassword
to the
appropriate username and password for the proxy.
To bypass SSL, change the protocol for
serverURL
from
https
to
http
in the
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhn_register
file.
2. Starting the Red Hat Network Registration Client
You must be root to register a system with RHN. If started by a standard users, the Red Hat
Network Registration Client prompts you to enter the root password before proceeding.
Important
If your username is part of a larger organizational account, be cautious when
registering your systems. By default, all systems registered with the Red Hat
Network Registration Client end up in the Ungrouped section of systems
visible only to Satellite Administrators. To ensure that you retain management of
these systems, Red Hat recommends that your organization create an activation
key associated with a specific system group and grant you permissions to that
group. You may then register your systems using that activation key and find
those System Profiles within RHN immediately. Refer to
Section 5, “Registering
with Activation Keys”
for instructions.
To start the Red Hat Network Registration Client, use one of the following methods:
1. On the GNOME desktop, go to Applications (the main menu on the panel) => Programs =>
System => Red Hat Network
2. On the KDE desktop, go to Applications (the main menu on the panel) => System => Red
Hat Network
3. Type the command
rhn_register
at a shell prompt (for example an XTerm or GNOME
terminal)
4. If you are not running the X Window System, type the command
rhn_register
at a shell
prompt. Refer to
Section 7, “Text Mode RHN Registration Client”
for further details.
