Standalone box and ISA proxy and yum update

[zillah]

With my box FC5 at work (Active Directory), I have been able to access the net , I have not logged in with my AD account , I logged in as username : root and password : forum,,,fake one (I know security implication, I have done this for test ).

 

First time when I tried to open a browser, window popped up asking me username and password for authentication to use internet (I entered my username: zillah and password:ad123 my active directory account,,,fake ), then I was able to browse the net.

 

When I tried to use the command below (via Terminal):

 

[root@local]#yum install yum (yumes),,,,It did not work, I believe because of the authentication (ISA proxy) that I mentioned above.

 

With the proxy , I followed the link below :

 

[/url][url=http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/yum/sn-yum-proxy-server.html]http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/yum/sn-yum-proxy-server.html

 

1- I added the line below to /etc/yum.conf

Code:

proxy=http://proxy.ewrq.au:8080,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, because our ISA uses 8080 proxy
proxy_username=zillah,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,fake username
proxy_password=ad123,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,fake password

Then I tried to use this :

[root]#yum update yum,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I received this error :

 

Loading "installation" Plugin

Can not find a valid baseurl for repo:case

Error: Cannot find valid baseurl for repo:core

 

 

2- I removed the configuration above and I tried these:

Code:

http_proxy=" http://zillah:ad123@proxy.ewrq.au:8080 "
export http_proxy
yum update

[root@localhost # yum update yum
