<div>Not the best because its in clear text but for httpProxy in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date format as follows; httpProxy=http://mertensb:password@proxy.mle.mazdaeur.com:80 That works for me on our ISA server anyway. Good luck! <div> Regards, James G.

Access to the Web Proxy service is denied. ) is not an error generated by anything Red Hat, it's referring to the Microsoft Internet and Acceleration Server (ISA) which is what your site seems to be using for it's access to the internet. My suggestion would be to raise a case with your admins at your work and ask them why your account cannot be authenticated on their proxy server.

According to <a href="https://rhn.redhat.com/help/faq/#61">https://rhn.redhat.com/help/faq/#61</a> setting "proxyUrl" and "enableProxy" is all that is needed but I guess this doesn't take authentication into account. Next I configured my username and password according to <a href="https://rhn.redhat.com/help/reference/s1-up2date-config.html">https://rhn.redhat.com/help/reference/s1-up2date-config.html</a> but I still get the following error: Proxy Authentication Required ( The ISA Server requires authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy service is denied. ) I get this error even after changing the protocol for serverUrl to http. After setting the following values in ~/.elinks/elinks.conf I am able to open <a href="http://xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/XMLRPC">http://xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/XMLRPC</a> but not <a href="https://xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/XMLRPC">https://xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/XMLRPC</a>. When I try to access the https Url I get a "host not found" message. # cat .elinks/elinks.conf set protocol.http.proxy.host = "<a href="http://proxy.mle.mazdaeur.com:80">http://proxy.mle.mazdaeur.com:80</a>" set protocol.http.proxy.user = "mertensb" set protocol.http.proxy.passwd = "xxxxx" Setting protocol.https.proxy.host does not appear to be possible with this version. Setting the HTTPS_PROXY variable doesn't help either. How am I supposed to configure up2date so I can access RHN through a proxy with authentication? And: How can I do this without writing a clear-text password in a plain text file? Thanks in advance.
