Hi Team,
I am working with a client and ran into this problem....
They have a rhel6 box behind IIS web proxy using NTLM auth. We recently discovered that there is no internet connectivity so they provided me with a proxy to use to bypass it. I tried the below,
export http_proxy="
http://user:pass@proxyserver:port"
This does not seem to be working.
Our goal is to register this box with rhn and then use yum to update the system with the latest patches. rhn_register did not work as it says "we can't connect to
https://xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/XMLRPC' - make sure that the internet connection on this system is operational"
We can't go further. we then googled and got some responses that rhn_register does not work well with IIS proxy and NTLM authentication and they asked us to use a third party program called ntlmaps.sourceforge.net. We then downloaded the package and configured it by entering proxy details in server.cfg file and then run ./main.py
It is now listening on a port localhost 5865....
we then used this command it works
rhn_register --proxy=
http://localhost:5865
It is now connected to the rhn site and registered the box successfully.
we then tries to use yum update or yum install httpd it gives below error;
yum install httpd

error was [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 22 - "The requested URL returned error: 407"
We can't install any packages and we tired below steps,
yum clean all
rm -rf /var/cache/yum*
adding below to the /etc/yum.conf
proxy=
http://localhost:5865
ftp_proxy=
http://localhost:5865
nothing works... can someone please shed some light on this?
Thanks
