Appendix A.
Sample RHN Proxy Server Configuration
File
The
/etc/rhn/rhn.conf
configuration file for the RHN Proxy Server provides a means
for you to establish key settings. Be warned, however, that errors inserted into this file may
cause Proxy failures. Make configuration changes with caution.
If you are also using an RHN Satellite Server, you should be particularly concerned with
the following parameters: traceback_mail and proxy.rhn_parent. Review the sample and its
comments (beginning with a hash mark #), for additional details.
Note
You may add the
use_ssl
setting to
rhn.conf
for testing purposes only. Set its value to
0 to turn off SSL between the Proxy and the upstream server temporarily. Note that this
greatly compromises security. Return the setting to its default value of 1 to re-enable SSL,
or simply remove the line from the configuration file.
