Hi, how can i configure yum to authenticate with an http proxy that requests an user and password? � I've tried this: export http_proxy="http://user[email protected]:8080" but it doesn't work... any ideias on how to do this ? I use FC 5...here my yum.conf : Code: [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum keepcache=0 debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest distroverpkg=redhat-release tolerant=1 exactarch=1 http_proxy=http://username:[email protected]:8080 export http_proxy obsoletes=1 gpgcheck=1 plugins=1
I just do this with a shellscript. I attached them. proxy_direct just sets http + ftp proxy (upper + lowercase, maybe that's the problem in your case). Just change USER, PASS + proxyurl + port the other one contains two scripts infotext_proxy + proxy.sh. It uses dialog to ask the user for proxy + pass, and sets the proxydata with that. In proxy.sh you have to change the porxy url + the path, where the script is located, because it has to remove the dialog generated files. hth remove .txt from all files...
