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

Traceback (most recent call last):

You should be able to add those lines to yum.conf

 

Code:

proxy=http://proxy.ewrq.au:8080
proxy_username=zillah
proxy_password=ad123

 

And it should work, if it doesn't there might be something else at work!

 

Using the shell, not the yum configuration file do:

 

Code:

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

 

Notice this is run in the shell directory and no spaces around the proxy details!

 

Looking here:

ConfigParser.ParsingError: File contains parsing errors: /etc/yum.conf[line 15]: 'export http_proxy\n'

[line 16]: 'yum update\n'

 

So you added the information into the configuration file, which is incorrect :)Hope all that makes sense!

 

Finally .. the issue might be with an ISA proxy, see the bugzilla discussion

[zillah]

And it should work, if it doesn't there might be something else at work!

Yes, I believe so that there is something else

 

 

Using the shell, not the yum configuration file do:

You meant : I can write it directly into a terminal console screen or adding thme user's shell profile (~/.bash_profile.) . 

 

So you added the information into the configuration file, which is incorrect

Yes, you are right.

1- First I updarded (not fresh installation) from FC5 to FC6

 

2- Then I configured /etc/yum.conf with this :

proxy=http://proxy.ewrq.au:8080

proxy_username=zillah

proxy_password=ad123

 

3- I tried from a shell console as root

[root@localhost ~]# yum update yum

Code:

'Name or service not known'

 

This suggests not a proxy problem but a DNS issue, can you resolve IP -> Name? Check your /etc/resolv.conf has valid information for the nameservers.

 

You might need to use NTLM Authorization to get authorization of your ISA Proxy (I have been poking around).

[zillah]

Check your /etc/resolv.conf has valid information for the nameservers.

Yes, it does have valid name, i will check the authentication

what are the contents of /etc/yum.conf

[root@localhost ~]# gedit /etc/yum.conf[main]

cachedir=/var/cache/yum

metadata_expire=1800

proxy=http://proxy.ewrq.au:8080,,,,,,,,,,,,,,this is our real port for proxy

proxy_username=zillah,,,,,I tried this as well EWRQ\zillah

proxy_password=ad123

How goes it with that? Any further along?

Oh odd error, plainly 8080 is numeric. Try adding a trailing / to your proxy line:

Code:

proxy=http://proxy.ewrq.au:8080/

 

It might be that it needs that to see the end of the line, maybe.

Hi,

 

I had exactly the same problem and a trailing slash fixed the problem for me. Thanks!

Ah its great to know that it works with the trailing / :)
