Red Hat NETWORK PROXY 5.3.0 Installation Manual page 18

Chapter 4. Installation
The command-line installation program leads users through a series of prompts regarding RHN
Proxy Server installation and initial configuration details such as installation options and SSL
certificate generation. The following instructions describe the installation process:
Tip
If you press Enter at a prompt instead of typing in an entry, the RHN Proxy Server
command-line installation program uses the default response enclosed in brackets.
Alternatively, if you want to use default answers without any user interaction, use
the --non-interactive option, which will use all default responses.
3. The first series of prompts are site-specific details about the installation.
Proxy version to activate [5.3]:
The Proxy version prompts you to confirm the version of RHN Proxy Server you wish to install.
RHN Parent [satserver.example.com]:
The RHN Parent is the domain name or address of the system that serves the Proxy, which could
be the RHN Hosted servers (xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com), or an RHN Satellite Server server.
Traceback email []:
The Traceback email is the email address to which error-related traceback messages are
mailed, usually the email of the Proxy administrator. Use commas to separate more than one
email address at this prompt.
4. The next series of prompts are related to configuring the details for generating an SSL certificate,
which is recommended to secure traffic to and from the RHN Proxy Server.
Use SSL [Y/n]: y
In the Use SSL prompt, type y to configure the RHN Proxy Server to support SSL.
CA Chain [/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT]:
In the CA Chain prompt, press Enter to use the default path for the Certificate Authority (CA)
Chain, which if the RHN Proxy is communicating with an RHN Satellite then this value is usually /
usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT. If it is communicating with RHN Hosted, it is
usually the /usr/share/rhn/RHNS-CA-CERT file.
