ISA 2006 Web proxy error

Hope this works ...................................

proxy="http://server:port/"
proxy_username=username
proxy_password=password

worked for me in FC7

...

I resolved the problem using percent encoding. As my FULL email address is my username, the above format would expand as below, with two '@'s, so yum would treat abcd.com as password, which would fail.

http_proxy=http://user@abcd.com:userpasswd@proxy.foo.com:portnumber

I encoded the first '@' as '%40', which worked. I specified the http_proxy and ftp_proxy variables in /etc/bashrc and exported them as follows:

http_proxy=http://user%40abcd.com:userpasswd@proxy.foo.com:portnumbe r

Yum works fine. But Yumex doesnt, as it relies on /etc/yum.conf, which does NOT have the proxy information. If proxy is mentioned in /etc/yum.conf, it gives non-numeric port error. And Yumex probably doesnt handle either two '@'s or percent encoding in URL, when declared in it's own configuration.

If someone's proxy username or password contains any special characters, percent encoding might work.

hi infoplateform,

I did not understand your explanation and was not able to correlate this to ISA 2006.

hi elawad,

I will try as suggested and revert back once i have results.
