Passing HTTP Proxy Information with subscription-manager Commands

Rather than using a permanently-configured HTTP proxy, as the GUI does, HTTP proxy information can be passed with a command invocations. The arguments listed in Table 14.8, "Proxy Arguments" are available to every command used with subscription-manager.

Table 14.8. Proxy Arguments

Argument	Description	Required for a Proxy Connection?
--proxy	Gives the proxy server to connect to, in the format hostname:port.	Yes
--proxyuser	Gives the username to use to authenticate. This is only required if user authentication is required.	No
--proxypass	Gives the password to use with the user account. This is only required if user authentication is required.	No

The proxy information can be passed with any subscription-manager operation. For example:

[root@server1 ~]# subscription-manager subscribe --pool=ff8080812bc382e3012bc3845ca000cb --proxy=proxy.example.com:8443 --proxyuser=jsmith --proxypass=secret
