F.5. Test RHN Proxy Server, No SSL

To ensure that the base RHN Proxy Server install is working correctly, configure a client to talk to the proxy over standard HTTP:

  • Ensure that the following lines are present in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhn_register and /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date, replacing your_rhn_proxy_server.com with the correct values where appropriate. Notice that the parameter for the value serverURL begins with http:// in this case (not https://).

    noSSLServerURL[comment]=Remote server URL without SSL
    noSSLServerURL=http://your_rhn_proxy_server.com/XMLRPC
    serverURL[comment]=Remote server URL
    serverURL=http://your_rhn_proxy_server.com/XMLRPC
  • Register the client system by running the Spacewalk Registration Client (rhn_register).

  • Run up2date -l from the client. It should return successfully with no errors, indicating that your proxy is functional without SSL.
