Sample Satellite Proxy Server Configuration File
The /etc/rhn/rhn. co nf configuration file for the Satellite Proxy provides a means for
administrators to establish key settings. Take care when making any changes, however, because
any configuration errors in this file may cause Satellite Proxy failures.
Pay close attention to the traceback_mai l and pro xy. rhn_parent parameters. Review the
sample and its comments (comments are identified by a hash mark (#) in column 1), for additional
details.
Important
You can add the use_ssl option to rhn. co nf for testing purposes. Set its value to 0 to turn
off SSL between the Satellite Proxy and the Satellite server. Be aware that this greatly
compromises security. Reset this option to its default value of 1 to re-enable SSL, or remove
the line from the configuration file.
