12. The RHN Configuration page enables you to change the way the Satellite communicates with
Red Hat Network. You may alter the Satellite's hostname, its parent RHN server (to connect
to another Satellite, for instance) and the location, or mountpoint of the package repository.
Typically, the defaults will do. If you intend to monitor systems with this Satellite, select both
the Enable monitoring backend and Enable monitoring scout checkboxes.
In addition, this page allows you to configure the Satellite to use an HTTP proxy server. To do
this, complete all 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. When
finished, click Continue. The Monitoring Configuration page appears.
