I have an FC5 computer at work that sits on a Windows network. Corporate security policy dictates that all traffic to the internet (that isn't blocked by web sense) is authenticated by a Windows Proxy server. The authenication requires userID in the form DOMAIN\username, and the domain password. I login locally to the machine (rather than using domain authentication to login to the PC). > > I have configured the web browser with the IP address and port number of the proxy, so when I browse I get a pop-up challenging for proxy authentication, which when completed is accepted and off I go. It'd be really good to be able to use YUM, but the closest I've got so far is a HTTP 407 message back from the proxy, which I understand is authentication failure. I've tried including HTTP PROXY statements in .bashrc, wgetrc (I think these are the right names) and even tried one suggestion I saw of hosting an NTLM service but I'm not sure if I set it up correctly as it appeared to be running but didn't actually do anything. The annoying thing is that as a test, I installed FC5 on a pc I had at home. YUM just worked straight away and identified about 500MB of updates. > > Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem? I have rebuilt the computer a number of times, as the system configuration changes I made didn't work, and I couldn't always remember what I'd changed... figured it was better to start over from a known state. I'm not sure its relevant here but the PC is a 2.4GHz HP Evo desktop with 1GB RAM. > > Apologies for the slightly vague description, and thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Look at question 15 on the yum faq: http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq -sv
