If the RHN Proxy Server will connect through an HTTP proxy, configure it using
the associated fields. Note that references to protocol, such as http://
or https:// should not be included in the HTTP Proxy Server field.
Insert only the hostname and port in the form hostname:port, such as
my.corporate.gateway.example.com:3128.

from another server, such as an RHN Satellite Server.
Finally, you must decide whether to enable SSL using the checkbox at the bottom.
Red Hat strongly recommends you employ this level of encryption for all traffic to
and from the RHN Proxy Server. To select it, however, you must be connecting to
the central RHN Servers (which have SSL enabled by default) or to an RHN Satellite
Server or RHN Proxy Server that has SSL enabled. Connection to the central RHN
Servers requires upload of the certificate tar file mentioned earlier. Connection to a
Satellite or another Proxy through SSL requires the CA certificate password used in
enabling SSL on the parent system.
If you will not enable SSL during installation, leave this box unchecked and refer
to the SSL Certificates chapter of the RHN Client Configuration Guide to learn how
to obtain this level of security post install. When finished, click continue. If you
enabled SSL and are connecting to a Satellite or another Proxy, the Configure SSL
page appears. If you enabled SSL and are connecting to the central RHN servers,
the Upload SSL page appears. If you did not enable SSL but did enable Monitoring,
skip to the description of the Configure Monitoring page. If you did not enable SSL
or Monitoring, skip to the description of the Install Progress page.
