[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk proxy

[Hagberg, Keith]

What package does spacewalk actually look for to tell if a server is a proxy.

Does spacewalk have any requirements to support a proxy, I know when using satellite it had to belong to a specific channel.

Install or install and configure. You can see proxy page even if you
just install package and proxy is not configured and activated.

If you do not see it even if you activated proxy i.e. run
configure-proxy.sh, then please file bugzilla report.

This is WebUI installater. This is obsolete in RHN Satellite and never
worked in Spacewalk. And will never work in Spacewalk. You should use
configure-proxy.sh skript to Activate proxy.
However if the proxy is activated you should see that link "Systems
using proxy", if it is not there, file BZ.
