[K12OSN] Yum updates and Proxy Settings (chapter 2)

[Ronnie Miller]

I appreciate the help on getting the proxy settings working for yum, but
now I've got a new wrinkle in my school network. Not only are we proxying
all internet access, but we've now tied our proxy filter to our NDS LDAP
server so that everyone has to enter their network user name and password
to get internet access.

Since this has been put into place, I can't get to any software updates
and/or the "Add/Remove Software" menu item. Both give basically the same
message: "Unable to retrieve software/update information". Under "Details"
is the word "none".

I changes the yum.conf file to show the right proxy settings and even
added a valid user name and password. I've saved and restarted the server,
but still no luck. What am I missing?

Here's the entries I have in /etc/yum.conf

proxy=http://10.10.100.1:8080
proxy_username=user
proxy_password=password

Thanks for any help!
